We made a thermos for school and we need to write a paper on it and the teacher wants to know what prevents whatI Used:Packing PeanutsAluminum foilPlastic ice cream pailA jar What it can prevent:RadiationConductionConvectionPlease Help! Thanks
A wood stovepipe carries the fumes from the combustion of the wood into the chimney and outdoorsThe mating joint between each section of pipe is made to self-sealIn some cases that seal may not be tight enoughWhen this occurs, cold air will enter through the jointsThe cold air will prematurely condense the hot vapor into a solid called creosoteCreosote build up within the chimney causes air disturbances and inhibits the draw of the stoveCaulking the mating joints will increase the draw of the stove and reduce the build up of creosoteInstructions 1.Wear rubber gloves and old clothesThe high-temperature caulk is difficult to remove from hands and clothing due to its particular adhesive qualities2.Clean each mating surface of the wood stovepipe with the wire brushScrub the interior fitting male joint as well as the exterior mating female jointThe surface does not have to be a shiny metallic finish, but must be as clean as possible so the caulk will adhere to the metal.
aluminum foil, shiny, reflects radiation packing peanuts, and air space prevent conduction a top prevents convection currents
