Line Loss01:10

Line Loss

541
The different configurations of source-load connections include wye (star) and delta connections. The relationship between line and phase voltages and currents varies depending on the configuration. When the source is supplying power, it is transmitted through the wires to the load, and during this transmission, some power is absorbed by the wires, leading to line loss.
Line loss impacts power delivery efficiency in a balanced three-phase circuit. The symmetry in such a circuit simplifies the...

Specific Heat01:16

Specific Heat

67.4K
The specific heat capacity of a substance refers to the energy required to increase the temperature of one gram of that substance by one degree Celcius. Specific heat capacity is often represented in calories (cal), grams (g), and degrees Celsius (oC), but can also be expressed in joules (J), kilograms (kg), and Kelvin (K), among other units.
For example, increasing the temperature of one gram of water by 1°C requires one calorie of heat energy and can be written as 1 cal/g-°C, or...

Quantifying Heat

Thermal Energy Microscopically, thermal energy is the kinetic energy associated with the random motion of atoms and molecules. Temperature is a quantitative measure of “hot” or “cold”, which depends on the amount of thermal energy. When the atoms and molecules in an object are moving or vibrating quickly, they have a higher average kinetic energy (KE) (or higher thermal energy), and the object is perceived as “hot”, or it is described as being at a higher temperature. When the...

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress

Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.

Reducing Line Loss01:18

Reducing Line Loss

391
In a three-phase circuit, line loss is an indicator of energy dissipated as heat due to the resistance of transmission lines. To address this, incorporating transformers into the system—a step-up transformer at the source and a step-down transformer at the load—is a strategic solution. Two three-phase transformers are introduced to improve this.
With a step-up transformer at the source, the voltage is increased, thereby reducing the current in the transmission lines since power loss in...

Heat Flow and Specific Heat01:12

Heat Flow and Specific Heat

6.8K
Heat is a type of energy transfer that is caused by a temperature difference, and it can change the temperature of an object. Since heat is a form of energy, its SI unit is the joule (J). Another common unit of energy often used for heat is the calorie (cal), which is defined as the energy needed to change the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 °C, specifically between 14.5 °C and 15.5 °C, since the energy needed shows a slight temperature dependence. Another commonly used unit is...

Area of Science:

  • Physiology
  • Thermoregulation
  • Autonomic Nervous System

Background:

  • Core body temperature regulation is vital, maintained by the autonomic nervous system.
  • Humans employ sweating and cutaneous vasodilation for heat loss when hyperthermic.
  • Thermal panting is a less-studied thermolytic response in humans.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evidence for thermal panting as a significant thermolytic response in humans.
  • To highlight the role of breathing patterns in human thermoregulation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical and recent scientific literature on human thermal panting.
  • Analysis of breathing patterns during hyperthermia.

Main Results:

  • Human thermal panting is a reproducible response with similarities to panting in other species.
  • Evidence suggests a significant contribution of panting to thermolysis in hyperthermic humans.

Conclusions:

  • Thermal panting is an important, though often overlooked, mechanism for heat loss in humans.
  • Further research is needed to fully understand the contribution of panting to human thermoregulation.
