Would heat transfer be affected with
little or no gravity?
Experiment # 1: Heat Radiation
We are going to have a code that turns on a light for 90 seconds and before the colors were black and white to turn on the light and this time we are going to do light pink and dark blue. The temperature sensor will be connected to a LEGO Mindstorm then cover our temperature sensor with light pink paper (white on the ISS) and then cover the other sensor with dark blue paper (black on the ISS).
Data
Observations
What we noticed...
- The flight data goes up to 102.6 degrees Fahrenheit and for the ground data the highest it goes is 74.7 degrees Fahrenheit.
- On the flight data the lines are closer then the ground data.
- The lines go up and down and not staying in one spot.
- The first number for ground data is 66.9 degrees Fahrenheit and for flight data is 65.9 degrees Fahrenheit.
- The numbers are different in each graph.
Conclusion
We feel that heat transfer (is/isn't) affected by little or no gravity because...
in space there is only a one degree Fahrenheit difference between the black and white paper on Earth and a 3 degree Fahrenheit. Gravity is important.
