good a material is at conducting heat is known as its thermal conductivity. Thermal conductivity is defined as the rate at which heat flows through a certain area of a Object of the experiment is to determine the thermal conductivity of metals and insulation body.materials and also to demonstrate that heat flow is directly proportional to temperature differences between faces and to cross sectional area. Thermal conductivity is defined as:

such properties as electrical conductivity‚ lowering of the vapor pressure‚ refractive index‚ and sodium ion concentration remained identical in both the sol and the gel state. In support of their theory‚ Laing and McBain point out that Arrhenius (5) found the conductivity in gelatin-water-salt systems to be the same in both sol and gel. This aspect of the micellar theory has been extended by Gelfan (6) to protoplasm because he found that the conductivity of protoplasm remained independent

------------------------------------------------- Water and Electrolytes Water constitutes 50-55% of a woman’s body weight and 55-60% of man’s weight. Water gives structure and form to the body‚ helps maintain body temperature‚ and also creates the necessary environment for cell metabolism. There are two compartments of body water‚ extracellular and intracellular fluid. Extracellular fluid (ECF) is water found outside of cells. Making up approximately 20% of total body weight‚ the ECF consists

Thermal Conductivity Heat can be transferred in three different ways: convection‚ radiation and conduction. Conduction is the way heat is transferred in a solid‚ and therefore is the way it is transferred in a heat sink. Conduction occurs when two objects with different temperatures come into contact with one another. At the point where the two objects meet‚ the faster moving molecules of the warmer object crash into the slower moving molecules of the cooler object. When this happens‚ the faster

Alterations in Fluids‚ Electrolytes‚ and Acid-Base Balance Composition & Compartment Distribution of Body Fluids ← Body fluids are distributed between the intracellular fluid (ICF) and extracellular fluid (ECF) compartments. The ICF compartment consists of fluid contained within all of the billions of cells in the body. It is the larger of the two compartments‚ containing approximately two thirds of the body water in healthy adults. ← The remaining one third of body water is in

Identify and describe the composition of the fluid compartments within the body Either Intracellular fluid (ICF- 2/3 of the body’s water) or extracellular fluid (ECF -one third of the body’s water). The two main extracellular fluid compartments are the interstitial fluid and the intravascular fluid‚ which is the blood plasma. Other ECF compartments include the lymph and

Electrolyte is a scientific term for salts‚ specifically ions. The term electrolyte means that this ion is electrically-charged and moves to either a negative or positive electrode. Ions that move to the negative which are called cations are positively charged and Ions that move to the positive which are called anions are negatively charged. They can be divided into acids‚ bases‚ and salts‚ because they all give ions when dissolved in water. Electrolytes are present in the human body‚ and the balance

Introduction This experiment tests electrical conduction. Electrical conduction is the transportation of an electrical charge through a substance. This is done by the electrical charge/current being sent through the substance via electrons. These electrons carry the electrical current/charge throughout the substance’s length until another conductor is able to receive the electrons charge. Part B: Risk Assessment: During the construction of “the modified hurler‚ “

Analyzing electrolytes I. Introduction Ionic substances form when a metal reacts with a non-metal. They contain charged particles called ions. Those ionic substances are broken down by electrolysis. Electrolysis is the breakdown of a substance by electricity‚ and it only happens in liquids. The liquids that can be electrolyzed are called electrolytes. When said electrolyzed‚ means that the compounds in solutions are broken down when they conduct electricity. Its necessary the use of electrodes

Osmolality and electrolytes in cerebrospinal fluid and serum of febrile children with and without seizures. During acute febrile diseases mild disturbances of water and electrolyte balance occur frequently. It has been suggested that changes in electrolyte balance‚ in particular hyponatraemia‚ might predispose a child to convulsions during febrile illness; however‚ the changes of electrolytes in the CSF are not known. We have studied the effects of fever and convulsions on water and electrolyte balance
