For those of you who have wells at home, must enter this article.
Ever showered at night or early morning using well water?
Ever bathed well in heavy rain and during the cold? How does it feel, it feels warm not the water!
Ever bathed during the day during the blistering weather with well water? How does it feel, fresh is not it !?
But, never wonder why the well water can be warm at night or when it rains and feels cold when the hot air? If not, let us expose the facts about the well water and think of some of the above questions. Let's look at the facts and explanations.
The explanation is:
Water is a chemical substance with the chemical formula H2O: one water molecule composed of two hydrogen atoms bonded covalently to one oxygen atom Before answering the question above, consider the following physical properties of water:
Water has a high specific heat. Specific heat, is the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance. This causes the water to absorb large thermal energy before changing the temperature of the water turns to heat. In other words, water Also takes a longer time to release energy when it wants to change the water temperature to cold. This characteristic makes the earth's climate comfortable because of its medium temperature and helps the organism to adjust their body temperature better.
Water has neutral ph (7) neither acid nor base.
Water molecules in liquid form are in the temperature range 0 ° - 100 ° c. This range makes water available in almost all parts of our earth.
Water more easily absorbs heat than other liquids, in addition to mercury (mercury). This fact causes a vast body of water such as lakes and oceans to have a nearly uniform vertical temperature profile.
Water molecules on earth have 3 physical forms, namely solid, liquid, and gas. Formal changes that occur in water require a high energy exchange, both for heating and cooling. This mechanism plays an important role in the spread of heat energy in the earth's atmosphere. The amount of heat transferred to the atmosphere, ± ¾ occurs through the evaporation process and condensation process of water.
Answer & Description:
Already found the answer to the question?
If not try to look again. So why is well water warm at night or during cold weather because the water has a high specific heat as described in point 1 above, where the specific heat, is the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance. This causes the water to absorb large thermal energy before changing the temperature of the water turns to heat. In other words, water Also takes a longer time to release energy when it wants to change the water temperature to cold. This characteristic makes the earth's climate comfortable because of its medium temperature and helps the organism to adjust their body temperature better.
Conclusion:
That's the answer, so water takes a longer time to absorb heat, but also longer in releasing heat. How much longer? Longer than what? The answer is longer than the ground. The soil has properties that quickly absorb and release heat.
So it causes during the hot and hot daytime, the soil will absorb heat faster, but the water in the well will absorb the heat more slowly, other than due to the physical properties of water in the above explanation, the water in the well does not receive heat directly from the sun , but instead of absorbing from the ground. although faster heat, but the soil also takes time to absorb, this will delay the absorption of heat by water. the water at the well absorbs heat from the ground that is not as hot as if exposed to direct sun. so even though it was a blistering day, the well water would be cool and fresh for the above reasons. So, we will feel refreshed when bathing well water in the afternoon. But, the river water bath also seal!
At night, the soil will cool faster, but not with water, the water will take longer in releasing heat. so that at night even the water of the well will be warm.
Wind land & sea breeze.
The physical properties of water at the first point above also have a great contribution in life. The slow nature of the water absorbs and releases heat rather than the soil causing the wind and sea wind. At night, the ocean is warmer than the land, so the air moves from land to sea (land wind). while the sea day is colder than the land, so the wind blows to land (sea breeze).
Already understand now, if you have a well at home, then take care of the well. Keep the well clean and uncontaminated.
