A woman informs an engineer that she frequently feels cooler in the summer when standing in front of an open refrigerator. The engineer tells her that she is only “imagining things” because there is no fan in the refrigerator to blow the cool air over her. A lively argument ensues. Whose side of the argument do you take? Why?
During hot summer weather, many people put “koozies” around their beverages to keep the drinks cold. In addition to preventing a warm hand from heating the container through conduction, what other mechanisms slow the process of warming beverages?
We often think of pollution in terms of smog or trash in the
ocean. Give an example of thermal pollution, discuss its impact
and possible mitigation.
