Sentences with phrase «windings increased the surface area»

Not exact matches

Tilted arrangements can require more surface area to deal with shading issues, may be subject to increased wind damage, and require more costly mounting structures.

Even in areas where precipitation does not decrease, these increases in surface evaporation and loss of water from plants lead to more rapid drying of soils if the effects of higher temperatures are not offset by other changes (such as reduced wind speed or increased humidity).5 As soil dries out, a larger proportion of the incoming heat from the sun goes into heating the soil and adjacent air rather than evaporating its moisture, resulting in hotter summers under drier climatic conditions.6

geometry: affects radiative, convective evaporative, and conductive heat transfer; urban geometries tend to selectively block or intensify winds, tend to impact the extent of greenspace, increase exposed surface area, change the sky view factor, add overall heat capacity when compared to rural areas; example — «The canyon structure that tall buildings create enhances the warming.

Yes, the local soil surface was getting a little warmer, but the wind would also be taking less heat away from the area; one would counteract the other; there would be no net increase in heating generally.

The effective surface area is greatly increased or diminished by wind driven waves.
