Registered 7 years agoA question for the braniacs. My house is a pretty constant 19c, give or take a degree, no more.
So why is it that I can pick up a bottle of wine from the side and it feels really cold (it's actually 13c). Same goes for things like plates. What's the dealio?This post is sponsored by Apple and the iPhone 4S. Think different.

Registered 7 years agoI'm not sure it applies though does it. Energy would be continually lost from the air and replaced by the heating system. Certain materials should take longer to reach that temperature (requiring more energy), but surely they should all get there eventually assuming there was a sufficient heat source?
Or is it that the air cannot carry enough energy to heat these materials to ambient?
It's nearly 20 years since I was in school... give me a break!

Registered 8 years agoA constant *energy* source will overcome the specific heat capacity of the wine eventually. But your thermostat cuts of the energy emitted in to the room when the air in the room reaches 19 degrees, so it does not have a constant energy source. The specific heat capacity is a bit like the resistance of something to heating up. The energy input to the room is enough to maintain the room air at 19 deg, but not to heat up the wine.
edit: and I'm trying to remember science lessons from nearly 20 years ago here too so

Registered 11 years agoI don't think I've ever seen an Indian film that wasn't technically a musical. Given they redub even the bits in films where no one is singing though, I think I'll take a film where they sing all the way through over the alternative.
Re materials, chopsen's talking out of his arse. Even if the heating system is just 'topping up' the temperature, the delta between an objects temperature and its surroundings controls how much energy is transferred. The only other factor is insulation which does nothing to stop the energy entering, but slows its path through the insulation to the thing it's insulating, thus raising its temperature on the outside, and actually reducing the heat coming in.
On the other hand, many objects are actually quite good conductors of heat. Classically, metals are good conductors (of heat, as well as electricity), but evidently clay, plastic, glass and varnished wood are also. Objects that conduct heat feel cold to the touch, because we are a lot warmer than them, and we feel our fingertips losing heat when we touch them.
I believe that's what's happening with your plates, though it's possible they're somehow stored on something which is somehow connected to the outside, so constantly losing heat to the outside. However, the fact you've measured the wine means its actually cold, not just subjectively so. Did you perhaps buy the wine today?Cubby didn't know how to turn off sigs!

It is stored fairly close to an outside wall though.
