2. Heat transfer through fins - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer_through_fins

   The fin material should preferably have high thermal conductivity. In most applications the fin is surrounded by a fluid in motion, [ 1 ] which heats or cools it quickly due to the large surface area, and subsequently the heat gets transferred to or from the body quickly due to the high thermal conductivity of the fin.

3. Radiator (heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_(heating)

   This sets up convective loops of air movement within a room. If the radiator is blocked either from above or below, this air movement is prevented, and the heater will not work. Baseboard heating systems are sometimes fitted with moveable covers to allow the resident to fine-tune heating by room, much like air registers in a central air system.

4. Fin (extended surface) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fin_(extended_surface)

   This is the ratio of the fin heat transfer rate to the heat transfer rate of the fin if the entire fin were at the base temperature, = ˙. in this equation is equal to the surface area of the fin. The fin efficiency will always be less than one, as assuming the temperature throughout the fin is at the base temperature would increase the heat ...

5. Baseboard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseboard

   A baseboard differs from a wainscot; a wainscot typically covers from the floor to around 1-1.5 metres (3' to 5') high (waist or chest height), whereas a baseboard is typically under 0.2 metres (8") high (ankle height). Plastic baseboard comes in various plastic compounds, the most common of which is UPVC.

   One (very) important note: Though fire blankets are especially convenient, experts caution that they shouldn't replace your fire extinguisher (which, yes, you should definitely learn how to use ...

7. Thermostatic radiator valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostatic_radiator_valve

   The replacement of a manual heating control with a conventional wax motor TRV has been estimated to save at least 280 kilograms (620 lb) of CO 2 per year (in 2011 for a British semi-detached house with 3 bedrooms and gas heating [1]). They are also considerably cost-efficient, using heat only when needed, and can reduce heating bills by up to ...
