convection right?
wakejosh said:convection right?
Convection is what changes for wind compared to no wind, but if there were no conduction it would not make any difference. If your skin were a perfect insulator, you would feel no difference when the wind blows. When the air is still, a layer of warm air builds up around you. Clothing provides a region of captured warm air that keeps you reasonably comfortable on cold days. If you take that layer of warm air away, your body loses heat faster by conduction to the cold air. Of course there is all kinds of convection going on inside your body as well, with blood flowing through your extremities.wakejosh said:so would it be Conduction instead of Convection? I don't have the right version of the book and I can't figure out what he wants here for the life of me. my only options are conduction, convection, and radiation.
Wind chill is a measure of how cold it feels outside when the wind is blowing. It takes into account both the actual air temperature and the speed of the wind.
Wind chill is calculated using a mathematical formula that takes into account the air temperature and the wind speed. The formula was developed by scientists to better understand how the wind affects our perception of cold.
Wind chill is important because it helps us understand how the wind can make the temperature feel colder than it actually is. This information is useful for planning outdoor activities and for taking precautions to stay warm in cold and windy conditions.
No, wind chill is not a real temperature. It is a perceived temperature that takes into account the effects of wind on our bodies. The actual air temperature remains the same, but the wind chill makes it feel colder due to the increased heat transfer.
No, wind chill can affect any living organism that is exposed to cold and windy conditions. It can also affect objects and structures, causing them to cool down more quickly than in still air. Animals and plants can also experience the effects of wind chill.
