Is aluminum foil a conductor or insulator?
Insulator or conductor depending on the circumstances. Aluminum foil conducts heat, but it cuts off air flow and reduces evaporation of fluids. Aluminum foil reflects and thus minimizes radiation transmission. With foods it is more useful as an insulator. It also acts as an insulator on windows. But, aluminum is definitely a good heat conductor.
An object that can transfer heat easily is an?
An insulator. More specifically, a thermal (heat) insulator, as opposed to an electrical insulator, which suppresses the flow of electricity.
Is padded fabric conductor or insulator of heat?
probably insulator
Do you say insulator of heat or bad conductor of heat Which is correct Or both are correct?
well, i think both would be correct, though a "bad conductor of heat" would be better. Or you could say "insulator for heat" or simply insulator....
What is the difference between a good insulator and a bad one?
A good insulator is good at stopping heat escaping, whereas a bad insulator is not very good at trapping heat and lets it out.
Which layer of the skin protects the deeper tissues of the body and acts as a heat insulator?
Fat. also known as adipose tissue, is the connective tissue found in the subcutaneous layer that provides insulation.
What layer of skin reduces heat loss?
the subcutaneous layer..or the fatty tissue layer underneath the dermis
What is the function of subcutaneous layers?
The function of the subcutaneous layer is insulation and mechanical protection.
What is the function of fat tissue in the subcutaneous layer?
Fat in the hypodermis provides mechanical cushioning as well as insulation for the body.
Calcium silicate act as a protective layer in blast furnace how?
It acts as a Heat insulator. It prevents escape of heat, thus keeping the iron in molten state. It also prevents fire inside the furnace.
Subcutaneous connective tissue beneath the skin?
yes. it helps in homeostasis, by forming a layer of insulation to slow heat loss.
What function does water have in a cake?
Water is needed to convert sucrose to glucose and maltose to glucose.
What type of tissue is located in the subcutaneous layer?
The subcutaneous tissue is the loose, connective tissue directly beneath the dermis. It is composed of adipose tissue or fat that is made up of lipocytes. These cells contain stored fat as an energy reserve. It also provides a layer of insulation to conserve internal body heat as well as a cushion to protect the bones and internal organs.
What is an example of water as an insulator?
Wetsuits are a great example of how water is an insulator. when the wet suit gets wet, it puts a thin layer of water between the suit and your skin. This layer of water keeps your body heat in, and the cold water out.
How dpes cavity between walls reduce the heat transfer from a house?
Dead air space acts as an insulator.
Why do things cool down more slowly if they are wrapped?
Whatever it is wrapped in slows the loss of heat. It acts as an insulator.
What is the function of fat layer?
The fat layer under the skin is also known as the subcutaneous layer and is the deepest layer of skin under the epidermis and the dermis. The fat layer helps to insulate the body from both heat and cold and it provides a storage area for energy as well as providing a protective layer of padding to help protect internal structures of the body.
