Fluids play a crucial role in industrial processes like cooling, heating, and mixing. Traditionally, most industries would ...

These convection currents can transfer heat energy into the loft. Trapped air is a natural insulator and because it is trapped, convection currents cannot be set up easily. So, trapped air reduces ...

In the quest to design the next generation of materials for modern devices -- ones that are lightweight, flexible and excellent at dissipating heat -- a team of researchers made a discovery: ...

To reduce heat transfers from our bodies, we can wear insulating clothing - such as gloves, scarves, hats and thermal socks - in cold weather. The more layers we wear, the more air can be trapped ...
