Would heat transfer be affected with
little or no gravity?
Experiment # 2: Heat Convection
The purpose of this experiment is to test convection and a heat transfer when it's in space. We will run the experiment on Earth and in space. And we will run the experiment twice, once with the holes open for air flow and another time with those holes closed to slow down the air holes' flow.
Data
Observations
What we noticed...
- 95 degrees Fahrenheit was the maximum number on all the top section for the flight data.
- The maximum number wasn't always at the end of the experiment.
- The minimum number wasn't always at the beginning of the experiment.
- There were a lot of 7's in the ground data.
- Our group had 0 for some of the numbers.
Conclusion
We feel that heat transfer (is/isn't) affected by little or no gravity because...
the minimum and maximum heat were different on the graph. For example, the minimum for ground data is 70.1 degrees Fahrenheit and the maximum is 96 degrees Fahrenheit is the maximum. The minimum for flight data is 96.1 degrees Fahrenheit and the maximum for the flight data is 106.6 degrees Fahrenheit
