Keeps The Heat From Flowing.....
a: Calorimeter ~
b: glorified thermos
What: "A device known as a calorimeter can be used to measure the specific heat of a given material. A calorimeter is like a glorified thermos, with great insulation and a thermometer to measure the temperature of the contained fluid. A sample of a given material is raised or lowered to a different temperature from the fluid and then dropped into it. Assuming a negligible amount of heat escapes the walls of the calorimeter, the change in measured temperature can be used to determine the specific heat of the material."

Maybe Not......
a: Calorimeter ~
b: a rain gauge
What: "Jed starts with the assertion that
db a calorimeter is like a rain gauge in which you collect the rain and
db then look at the marks on the side to see what has collected. That
db is basically an incorrect analogy which is clear evidence that Jed
db has no clue as to how a calorimeter actually is supposed to work.
db The type of calorimeter under discussion is more properly to be
db considered a transducer that converts an input, heat, into an output
db signal which is temperature."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
