  2. Transpirational cooling (biological) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transpirational_cooling...

    Of the latent heat that escapes at recondensation at cloud level half departs the atmosphere into space, as the photons escape in a part of the spectrum that does not get reabsorbed by greenhouse gases. Using satellite imagery, the impact of regeneration processes restoring vegetation in arid areas is visible from space and can tracked over time.

  3. Thermogenic plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermogenic_plant

    This is because the smaller plants do not have enough volume to create a considerable amount of heat. Large plants, on the other hand, have a lot of mass to create and retain heat. [5] Thermogenic plants are also protogynous, meaning that the female part of the plant matures before the male part of the same plant. This reduces inbreeding ...

  4. Electric heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_heating

    The heat pump uses an electric motor to drive a reversed refrigeration cycle, that draws heat energy from an external source such as the ground or outside air (or the interior of a refrigerator) and directs that heat into the space to be warmed (in case of a fridge, the kitchen). This makes much better use of electric energy than direct ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer_physics

    Electrons are affected by two thermodynamic forces [from the charge, ∇(E F /e c) where E F is the Fermi level and e c is the electron charge and temperature gradient, ∇(1/T)] because they carry both charge and thermal energy, and thus electric current j e and heat flow q are described with the thermoelectric tensors (A ee, A et, A te, and A ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_heater

    A space heater is a device used to heat a single, small- to medium-sized area. [1] This type of heater can be contrasted with central heating , which distributes heat to multiple areas. Types

  8. How to safely use a space heater when it gets cold

    If the space heater's plug or cord, the wall outlet or faceplate is hot, stop using the heater. Call an electrician to check the plug or faulty wall outlet, or a repair person if the cord is hot.

    You also need to avoid using herbicides because they're not effective in temperatures above 85 degrees. The weeds don't absorb and translocate the herbicides in the heat.
