In the case of Earth, the atmospheric circulation is caused by the flow of hot air from the tropics to the poles, and the flow of cold air from the poles toward the tropics. (Note that Earth\u2019s rotation causes the observed easterly flow of air in the northern hemisphere). Car engines are kept cool by the flow of water in the cooling system, with the water pump maintaining a flow of cool water to the pistons. The circulatory system is used the body: when the body overheats, the blood vessels in the skin expand (dilate), which increases the blood flow to the skin where it can be cooled by sweating. These vessels become smaller when it is cold outside and larger when it is hot (so more fluid flows, and more energy is transferred).<\/p>\n<p id=\"import-auto-id3063801\">The body also loses a significant fraction of its heat through the breathing process.<\/p>\n<p id=\"import-auto-id1474103\">While convection is usually more complicated than conduction, we can describe convection and do some straightforward, realistic calculations of its effects. Natural convection is driven by buoyant forces: hot air rises because density decreases as temperature increases. The house in <a href=\"#import-auto-id3354638\" class=\"autogenerated-content\">(Figure)<\/a> is kept warm in this manner, as is the pot of water on the stove in <a href=\"#import-auto-id3367347\" class=\"autogenerated-content\">(Figure)<\/a>. Ocean currents and large-scale atmospheric circulation transfer energy from one part of the globe to another. Both are examples of natural convection.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bc-figure figure\" id=\"import-auto-id3354638\">\n<div class=\"bc-figcaption figcaption\">Air heated by the so-called gravity furnace expands and rises, forming a convective loop that transfers energy to other parts of the room. As the air is cooled at the ceiling and outside walls, it contracts, eventually becoming denser than room air and sinking to the floor. A properly designed heating system using natural convection, like this one, can be quite efficient in uniformly heating a home.<\/div>\n<p><span data-type=\"media\" id=\"import-auto-id3130412\" data-alt=\"A cross section of a room is shown.

Newly constructed homes are designed for a turnover time of 2 hours or more, rather than 30 minutes for the house of this example. Weather stripping, caulking, and improved window seals are commonly employed. More extreme measures are sometimes taken in very cold (or hot) climates to achieve a tight standard of more than 6 hours for one air turnover. Still longer turnover times are unhealthy, because a minimum amount of fresh air is necessary to supply oxygen for breathing and to dilute household pollutants. The term used for the process by which outside air leaks into the house from cracks around windows, doors, and the foundation is called \u201cair infiltration.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"import-auto-id1915964\">A cold wind is much more chilling than still cold air, because convection combines with conduction in the body to increase the rate at which energy is transferred away from the body. The table below gives approximate wind-chill factors, which are the temperatures of still air that produce the same rate of cooling as air of a given temperature and speed. Wind-chill factors are a dramatic reminder of convection\u2019s ability to transfer heat faster than conduction. For example, a 15.0 m\/s wind at [latex]0\u00ba\\text{C}[\/latex] has the chilling equivalent of still air at about [latex]-\\text{18\u00ba}\\text{C}[\/latex].<\/p>\n<table id=\"import-auto-id2930894\" summary=\"For a given air temperature and wind speed, the table gives apparent air temperature in degrees celcius.\">\n<caption><span data-type=\"title\">Wind-Chill Factors<\/span><\/caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><strong>Moving air temperature<\/strong><\/th>\n<th colspan=\"5\"><strong>Wind speed (m\/s)<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>[latex]\\left(\\mathbf{\\text{\u00baC}}\\right)[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]\\mathbf{2}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]\\mathbf{5}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]\\mathbf{\\text{10}}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]\\mathbf{\\text{15}}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]\\mathbf{\\text{20}}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>[latex]\\mathbf{5}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]3[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-1[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-8[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{10}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{12}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>[latex]\\mathbf{2}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]0[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-7[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{12}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{16}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{18}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>[latex]\\mathbf{0}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-2[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-9[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{15}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{18}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{20}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>[latex]\\mathbf{-}\\mathbf{5}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-7[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{15}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{22}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{26}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{29}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{10}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{12}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{21}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{29}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{34}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{36}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{20}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{23}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{34}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{44}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{50}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{52}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{40}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{44}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{59}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{73}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{82}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<td>[latex]-\\text{84}[\/latex]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p id=\"import-auto-id2054431\">Although air can transfer heat rapidly by convection, it is a poor conductor and thus a good insulator. The amount of available space for airflow determines whether air acts as an insulator or conductor. The space between the inside and outside walls of a house, for example, is about 9 cm (3.5 in) \u2014large enough for convection to work effectively. The addition of wall insulation prevents airflow, so heat loss (or gain) is decreased. Similarly, the gap between the two panes of a double-paned window is about 1 cm, which prevents convection and takes advantage of air\u2019s low conductivity to prevent greater loss. Fur, fiber, and fiberglass also take advantage of the low conductivity of air by trapping it in spaces too small to support convection, as shown in the figure. Fur and feathers are lightweight and thus ideal for the protection of animals.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bc-figure figure\" id=\"import-auto-id1997153\">\n<div class=\"bc-figcaption figcaption\">Fur is filled with air, breaking it up into many small pockets.

It allows us to cool off by sweating, even if the temperature of the surrounding air exceeds body temperature. Heat from the skin is required for sweat to evaporate from the skin, but without air flow, the air becomes saturated and evaporation stops. Air flow caused by convection replaces the saturated air by dry air and evaporation continues.<\/p>\n<div data-type=\"example\" class=\"textbox examples\" id=\"fs-id3092745\">\n<div data-type=\"title\" class=\"title\">Calculate the Flow of Mass during Convection: Sweat-Heat Transfer away from the Body<\/div>\n<p id=\"import-auto-id2514332\">The average person produces heat at the rate of about 120 W when at rest.

This would be about 180 g (about 7 oz) per hour. If the air is very dry, the sweat may evaporate without even being noticed. A significant amount of evaporation also takes place in the lungs and breathing passages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"import-auto-id2659829\">Another important example of the combination of phase change and convection occurs when water evaporates from the oceans. Heat is removed from the ocean when water evaporates. If the water vapor condenses in liquid droplets as clouds form, heat is released in the atmosphere. Thus, there is an overall transfer of heat from the ocean to the atmosphere. This process is the driving power behind thunderheads, those great cumulus clouds that rise as much as 20.0 km into the stratosphere. Water vapor carried in by convection condenses, releasing tremendous amounts of energy. This energy causes the air to expand and rise, where it is colder. More condensation occurs in these colder regions, which in turn drives the cloud even higher. Such a mechanism is called positive feedback, since the process reinforces and accelerates itself. These systems sometimes produce violent storms, with lightning and hail, and constitute the mechanism driving hurricanes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bc-figure figure\" id=\"import-auto-id3109731\">\n<div class=\"bc-figcaption figcaption\">Cumulus clouds are caused by water vapor that rises because of convection.

In the case of Earth, the atmospheric circulation is caused by the flow of hot air from the tropics to the poles, and the flow of cold air from the poles toward the tropics. (Note that Earth\u2019s rotation causes the observed easterly flow of air in the northern hemisphere). Car engines are kept cool by the flow of water in the cooling system, with the water pump maintaining a flow of cool water to the pistons. The circulatory system is used the body: when the body overheats, the blood vessels in the skin expand (dilate), which increases the blood flow to the skin where it can be cooled by sweating. These vessels become smaller when it is cold outside and larger when it is hot (so more fluid flows, and more energy is transferred).<\/p>\n<p id=\"import-auto-id3063801\">The body also loses a significant fraction of its heat through the breathing process.<\/p>\n<p id=\"import-auto-id1474103\">While convection is usually more complicated than conduction, we can describe convection and do some straightforward, realistic calculations of its effects. Natural convection is driven by buoyant forces: hot air rises because density decreases as temperature increases. The house in <a href=\"#import-auto-id3354638\" class=\"autogenerated-content\">(Figure)<\/a> is kept warm in this manner, as is the pot of water on the stove in <a href=\"#import-auto-id3367347\" class=\"autogenerated-content\">(Figure)<\/a>. Ocean currents and large-scale atmospheric circulation transfer energy from one part of the globe to another. Both are examples of natural convection.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bc-figure figure\" id=\"import-auto-id3354638\">\n<div class=\"bc-figcaption figcaption\">Air heated by the so-called gravity furnace expands and rises, forming a convective loop that transfers energy to other parts of the room.

Newly constructed homes are designed for a turnover time of 2 hours or more, rather than 30 minutes for the house of this example. Weather stripping, caulking, and improved window seals are commonly employed. More extreme measures are sometimes taken in very cold (or hot) climates to achieve a tight standard of more than 6 hours for one air turnover. Still longer turnover times are unhealthy, because a minimum amount of fresh air is necessary to supply oxygen for breathing and to dilute household pollutants. The term used for the process by which outside air leaks into the house from cracks around windows, doors, and the foundation is called \u201cair infiltration.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"import-auto-id1915964\">A cold wind is much more chilling than still cold air, because convection combines with conduction in the body to increase the rate at which energy is transferred away from the body. The table below gives approximate wind-chill factors, which are the temperatures of still air that produce the same rate of cooling as air of a given temperature and speed. Wind-chill factors are a dramatic reminder of convection\u2019s ability to transfer heat faster than conduction.

insulator. The amount of available space for airflow determines whether air acts as an insulator or conductor. The space between the inside and outside walls of a house, for example, is about 9 cm (3.5 in) \u2014large enough for convection to work effectively. The addition of wall insulation prevents airflow, so heat loss (or gain) is decreased. Similarly, the gap between the two panes of a double-paned window is about 1 cm, which prevents convection and takes advantage of air\u2019s low conductivity to prevent greater loss. Fur, fiber, and fiberglass also take advantage of the low conductivity of air by trapping it in spaces too small to support convection, as shown in the figure. Fur and feathers are lightweight and thus ideal for the protection of animals.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bc-figure figure\" id=\"import-auto-id1997153\">\n<div class=\"bc-figcaption figcaption\">Fur is filled with air, breaking it up into many small pockets.

It allows us to cool off by sweating, even if the temperature of the surrounding air exceeds body temperature. Heat from the skin is required for sweat to evaporate from the skin, but without air flow, the air becomes saturated and evaporation stops. Air flow caused by convection replaces the saturated air by dry air and evaporation continues.<\/p>\n<div data-type=\"example\" class=\"textbox examples\" id=\"fs-id3092745\">\n<div data-type=\"title\" class=\"title\">Calculate the Flow of Mass during Convection: Sweat-Heat Transfer away from the Body<\/div>\n<p id=\"import-auto-id2514332\">The average person produces heat at the rate of about 120 W when at rest.

This would be about 180 g (about 7 oz) per hour. If the air is very dry, the sweat may evaporate without even being noticed. A significant amount of evaporation also takes place in the lungs and breathing passages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"import-auto-id2659829\">Another important example of the combination of phase change and convection occurs when water evaporates from the oceans. Heat is removed from the ocean when water evaporates. If the water vapor condenses in liquid droplets as clouds form, heat is released in the atmosphere. Thus, there is an overall transfer of heat from the ocean to the atmosphere. This process is the driving power behind thunderheads, those great cumulus clouds that rise as much as 20.0 km into the stratosphere. Water vapor carried in by convection condenses, releasing tremendous amounts of energy. This energy causes the air to expand and rise, where it is colder. More condensation occurs in these colder regions, which in turn drives the cloud even higher. Such a mechanism is called positive feedback, since the process reinforces and accelerates itself. These systems sometimes produce violent storms, with lightning and hail, and constitute the mechanism driving hurricanes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bc-figure figure\" id=\"import-auto-id3109731\">\n<div class=\"bc-figcaption figcaption\">Cumulus clouds are caused by water vapor that rises because of convection.
