1. Lots of people think convector heaters are a good way to warm a cold room. Convector heaters take air in through a vent at their base and release the heated air from a vent at their top. Using your knowledge of convection, explain why a convector heater is so good at warming up a cold room. 2. Many weather forecasters use the expression ‘wind chill factor’ when describing how the temperature feels colder than it actually is.
