Explain why a ceramic bowl will keep oatmeal hot longer than a stainless steel bowl.?
An official one should be descriptive of the project all together, but if it just a JrHigh thing, I would go with witty.
Well it is because it?s due Thermal conductivity of the different materials, in the bowl a phenomena called heat transfer will happen, it can happen in three basic different ways: conduction, radiation and convectionFor your question you can suppose only conduction will happen inside the bowl, from the oatmeal to the bowlAnd convection from the bowl to the airThe conduction heat transfer will be due Thermal conductivity Stainless steel Thermal conductivity Ceramic Thermal conductivity Therefore will be more heat transfer from the oatmeal to the bowl with a stainless steel bowl.
