Heat Loss In Coffee Essay, Research Paper
Prediction I predict that the best way to keep coffee warm is to have a
silver insulator because of what we know on radiation and silver being a poor
emitter compared to a plain beaker or a black one. I predicted this because
most saucepans are silver because silver is a poor emitter compared to white
and black and also silver? is shiny
which cuts down heat wasted by radiation.Research? ??After making a cup of coffee it loses heat because of the
following factor:·
Radiation ·
Evaporation ·
Conduction ·
ConvectionRadiation The sun radiates heat through
empty space in the form of tiny waves. If you absorb any of the Sun?s
radiation, it heats you up. This is why it is sometimes called Heat radiation.
Everything gives off some heat radiation. The hotter it is the more it
radiates. A black area absorbs much more radiation than a white surface. Much
of the radiation that hits a white surface reflects away. A silver surface is a
poor absorber and good reflector. An example of radiation is a saucepan. (A
saucepan loses heat with radiation and conduction. Also it loses heat by
convection by air currents rising above the saucepan.)Evaporation Evaporation works in a similar way to conduction. When the
beaker or water is heated the molecules vibrate more at different speeds. Every
so often, one molecule will gain a lot more speed than the others and will
escape. When it finally escapes it all it?s energy with it so less is left
behind. Now that there is less energy they are cooler. Conduction This is the only method of heat transfer that happens in
opaque solids. In the solid the particles are fixed. When heat is added they
start to vibrate one by one banging into their neighbouring particle. This is
how heat energy is passed on from one particle to the next. Good conductors are
metals such as gold, silver and glass. A glass beaker can be safety heated on a
gauze because a gauze conducts heat away from a flame. ConvectionThis method of heat transfer mainly occurs in liquid and
gas. In our experiment the water lost heat by convection because the hot water
at the bottom density decrease so it rose to the top and cooled. The slightly
cooler water descended towards the bottom creating a circulatory motion Variables To make the experiment a fair test the starting temperature
was kept to as near as possible. We did not change the amount of water used so
it would be fair. ?Same Vary Amount of water Insulator Size beaker Safety To make sure that this experiment was safe we were careful
pouring the hot water by holding the measuring cylinder with a cloth. ObservationsIn this experiment we will be taking the temperature every
one minute up to ten minutes. To make this a fair and accurate test we will be
repeating the experiment again. Apparatus ·

beaker in silver foil and black paper and plain and see what is the best
insulator.See what dye

up apparatus as shown with a thermometer inside it.. Heat
up the water and pour into the beaker..
Quickly take the temperature every minute up to ten minutes and record in the

temperatures, which make the graph unfair. So I need to work out the
temperature change so I can plot an accurate graph.

I know
this because at ten minutes silver has not had such a big temperature change
compared to the others. We know that heat is being lost because of the graph
temperature change is increasing as the time is increasing.EvaluationI think that during this experiment we use our apparatus
accurately by having the same size beaker and measuring cylinder. I think that
our experiment wasn?t extremely accurate because of the cooling down at the
start. This caused different starting temperature but because the table and
graph recorded the change it didn?t affect too much. ??????????? In my graph
it shows that Silver is the best followed by black and plain last. On the other
further experiment it showed that yellow dye was better than black dye. I
thought that my experiment went well but that human error must have been caused
because it was difficult at one time because of measuring and recording all of
them at the same time this showed in my plain line where the circled point
didn?t fit in.
