Sentences with phrase «skin radiates heat»

Cui and coworkers tested the material on a device that simulates how skin radiates heat.

Not exact matches

The coat radiates more heat to the cold sky than it absorbs from its surroundings, the team reports, causing the temperature to drop below that of the surrounding air, while thick insulation reduces body heat loss from the skin.

The light harmlessly passed through skin and bone, but heat from the gold particles radiated outward, effectively cooking nearby cancer cells.

Applied to the skin, peppermint tea is gentle and cooling to the heat that radiates on sunburned skin.

A wonderful heat is radiating from the big yellow ball in the sky, gently warming skin and paintwork alike in the quiet lay - by below.

Although their body temperatures are no higher than that of any other dog, the Peruvian Inca Orchid's hairless skin radiates more heat than that of a regular dog and acts almost like a hot water bottle.

The skin layer planet is optically very thin, so it doesn't affect the OLR significantly, but (absent direct solar heating) the little bit of the radiant flux (approximatly equal to the OLR) from below that it absorbs must be (at equilibrium) balanced by emission, which will be both downward and upward, so the flux emitted in either direction is only half of what was absorbed from below; via Kirchhoff's Law, the temperature must be smaller than the brightness temperature of the OLR (for a grey gas, Tskin ^ 4 ~ = (Te ^ 4) / 2, where Te is the effective radiating temperature for the planet, equal to the brightness temperature of the OLR — *** HOWEVER, see below ***).

This is why (absent sufficient solar or other non-LW heating) the skin temperature is lower than the effective radiating temperature of the planet (in analogy to the sun, the SW radiation from the sun is like the LW radiation, and the direct «solar heating» of the part of the atmosphere above the photosphere may have to due with electromagnetic effects (as in macroscopic plasmas and fields, not so much radiation emitted as a function of temperature).

If the DLR decreases, the temperature gradient between the surface skin and bulk increases, and more heat flows from the ocean depths to the surface where it is radiated away.

You just have to remember that what feels hot on your skin and is boiling you up inside is invisible heat radiating out from the massive millions and millions of degrees hot Star in the sky we call The Sun.
