Heat Flashcards
Heat transfer between the body and environment
- Respiration
- Radiation
- Conduction
- Convection
- Evaporation
Convection
layer of cool air comes in contract with warm skin
Evaporation
Cooling relies on the latent head of vaporisation of sweat from the body
Effect of Heat Physiological
Working in hot temperatures with high work rate can cause
- Cramps
- Heat exhaustion
- Heat stroke
Dry-bulb temperature
Temp indicated by a conventional dry-bulb thermometer and is a measure of the sensible heat content of the air
Wet bulb
Temp at which water evaporating into the air can bring the air to saturation adiabatically at that temperature
Reducing the Effects of Heat
- Reduce heat flow from rock
- location of machinery
- Diution by ventilation
- Acclimatisation
Refrigeration
- Positional Cooling
- Cooling Plants
Evaporator Component
refrigeration from a liquit to a gas casues heat to be removed
Condenser Component
Condensation of the refrigerant occurs as it cools from a gas to a liquid
