Aim My aim is to find the easiest yet most successful way to keep a Hot Water Tank warm for 20 minutes. Scientific Background Heat flows when there is a difference in temperature. It flows from the hotter region to the cooler region therefore making both regions equal in temperature. There are three ways in which this can happen. 1-Conduction Conduction is when vibrating particles pass on their extra vibration to their neighbouring particles. This only happens in solids e.g. a wooden spoon. 2-Convection Convection is when a liquid or a gas moves from a hotter region to a cooler region e.g. water. 3-Radiation This happens through waves.
