Metal Chopsticks and Ramyun

Ji-Hye is a Korean girl who is studying junior
high school in the Philippines. She diligently wakes up
early in the morning to get hot meals before going to
school. Her mother cooked a sumptuous ramyun,
which is perfect for the northeast monsoon season. Her
mother serves Ji-Hye her hot ramyun with a metal
chopstick. As she stirs her ramen, she notices that the
heat from the meal made the chopsticks warmer. This
made her think of her lesson that metal objects are
good conductors of heat.

Below is a bowl of steaming hot ramyun with the
metallic chopsticks adding a contrast against the soft
strand of the noodles.

“Household Heat Transfer”

Figure 1 below shows a sample electric bill for a
residential home during the summer months, which
highlights various charges and costs associated with
electricity consumption. As March and April roll in, the bill
continues to increase sharply, and the hot air continues to
flow into the house, forcing the appliances to run for longer
periods. But, by applying principles of heat transfer
(conduction, convection, and radiation) effectively, it is
possible to reduce electricity consumption in a variety of
contexts.
