Research Question: How does the surface area to volume ratio affect heat loss in organisms? Hypothesis: I hypothesize that the larger the surface area to volume ratio‚ the more heat will be lost and vice versa. In this experiment‚ there will be a series of sizes of round bottom flasks‚ each having a different surface area to volume ratio. The smallest round bottom flask will have the biggest surface area to volume ratio‚ therefore the heat loss in that particular flask will be most‚ whereas the

Changing the Volume of Water in a Container Affects Its Rate of Heat Loss Aim : To investigate how changing the volume of water in a container affects its rate of its heat loss. The variable of this investigation is the volume of water which is put in the container. What I already know: I already know that the larger the volume of water there is the less heat loss occurs. I can tell this from my previous pilot experiment where I investigated‚ if the volume of water in a beaker affects its rate

Technique of Water Evaporation Introduction When water evaporates from water storages it becomes a major issue that affects regions of agriculture in most lands leading to annual loss exceeding potentially to 40 precent and more of water storage. This water which is lost leads to reduction of productivity in agriculture affecting the environment adversely. Literature review has been developed on the same by various researchers in order to develop evaporation suppression techniques

between surface area : volume ratio and heat loss. INTRODUCTION: The aim of this experiment is to investigate and find the relationship between heat loss (of water) and surface area to volume ratio of animals. To investigate this‚ we are going to use three flasks of different volume (as the equivalent the animals) and thus different surface areas filled with water. BACKGROUND: Surface Area : Volume Ratios We will be using the following formula for calculating SA:Vol ratios: SA : Vol Vol : Vol

Investigating Ratios of Areas and Volumes In this portfolio‚ I will be investigating the ratios of the areas and volumes formed from a curve in the form y = xn between two arbitrary parameters x = a and x = b‚ such that a < b. This will be done by using integration to find the area under the curve or volume of revolution about an axis. The two areas that will be compared will be labeled ‘A’ and ‘B’ (see figure A). In order to prove or disprove my conjectures‚ several different values for n will

Rate of Evaporation of Different Liquids Objective of the Project This project is of the rate of evaporation of different liquid‚ in which we also discuss the factors which affect the rate of liquid. Introduction When liquid is placed in an open vessel. It slowly escapes into gaseous phase ventually leaving the vessel empty. This phenomenon is known as vaporization or evaporation. Evaporation of liquids can be explained in the terms of kinetic molecular model although there

Volume loss is one of the three aspects of facial aging (the other two being skin texture changes and sagging skin). These aspects of facial aging combine as we get older to make us look older and more tired than we want to look. The severity and quickness that we show aging depends on both genetics and our environment and lifestyle. Volume loss‚ also known as fat loss‚ occurs when we lose fat in our face. It is most pronounced around the eyes and cheekbones. When someone says that as they have

Evaporation is one of the main methods used in chemical industry for concentration of aqueous solutions that means the removal of water from solution by boiling the liquor in a suitable type of evaporator and withdrawing the vapor (Coulson & Richardson‚1983). The objective of evaporation is to concentrate a solution consisting of non-volatile solute and a volatile solvent. In the overwhelming majority of evaporations the solvent is water. Normally‚ in evaporation the thick liquor is the valuable

What Affects the Rate of Evaporation? Aim * To find out if changes in temperature‚ draught and surface area of water open to air affects the rate of evaporation through the water. * To safely check if these variables change the rate of evaporation * To complete all the experiments in the short period given Prediction * I believe that a raise in temperature will speed up the rate of evaporation in the water * I believe that a larger surface area will speed up the rate of evaporation
