Question

I need help! What is an idea of a proposal of a device that minimizes heat transfer?

Answer 1

Engineers must understand the thermal properties of materials to be able to predict the performance of any given material over its lifetime in a specific application. Engineers apply their understanding of the thermal properties of materials to the design of efficient heat transfer materials for better engines, spacecraft and electronic devices. They also examine the thermal properties of insulation to design more efficient buildings and homes. Engineers develop ways to minimize heat transfer from a motor to the surrounding environment. Often they find ways to insulate the motor to decrease the convective heat transfer from the motor. They design a refrigerator to keep heat out of the inside, as well as keep the refrigerator contents cool. hope this helped
