Natural convection is a heat transfer process where non-human forces affect fluid heating and cooling, creating a convection stream. It explains natural systems like ocean currents and atmospheric layers. Newton’s law of cooling is important in natural convection. Natural convection is a type of heat transfer in which non-human forces affect the cooling and heating […]
Natural Hygiene is a movement that promotes natural living for optimal health. It originated from the sanitation movement in the 1800s and regained popularity in the 1900s.
