Would heat transfer be affected with
little or no gravity?
Experiment # 2: Heat Convection
Heat rises on Earth. Therefore, we were testing if it rises in space like on Earth based off the different temperatures.
Data
Observations
What we noticed...
- The average temperature of the top sensor for ground data is 86.71 degrees. For the temperature of the top sensor for flight data is 102.36 degrees. The average temperature for the bottoms sensor for ground data is 72.61 degrees. The average temperature for the bottom sensor for the flight data is 96.57.
- The median temperature of ground data is 74.5 degrees. The flight data median is 101 degrees.
- When we ran the experiment in Earth we did not notice ho w much the temperature was rising.
- Most numbers in the flight data were in the 90's.
- Most numbers in the ground data were in the 70's.
Conclusion
We feel that heat transfer (is/isn't) affected by little or no gravity because...
as you know here on Earth heat rises. According to our ground data, heat rose about 19.6 degrees Fahrenheit and in space the heat didn't rise as much. It only rose about 10.2 degrees Fahrenheit.
