Combining penguins together: habit, not necessarily

in #esteem6 years ago (edited)

Animals often find that they are grouped together. From small ants to elephants, almost all creatures can be seen in groups at some time. It is an important characteristic of animals. Especially the warmer animals are seen to be more efficient in this way. Starting from Ardadillo in the temperate country, almost all types of animals, whose body is hot, are seen to be able to walk on such trophies in cold weather.

It is generally believed that it is possible to keep their body warm. This is true, but there are more scientific reasons for this, which will be discussed in today's text. Another issue of today is why the penguins move to Antarctica.!

This is explained by some simple concepts of physics. Suppose an amper's penguin (the longest and heaviest penguin in the world) is standing alone. Because of this standing, he will lose his body in three ways. The first will be the heat transfer. This heat will transport the penguin and its standing in the soil. Another would be convergence. This process will occur during the penguin and the surrounding air, the heat conduction will occur if the speed of the air is high. The way the last heat loss is due to thermal radiation This radiation will occur with the surrounding cold environment where the effect of the sky is also [1]

From the above discussion, it is understood that when a penguin is alone and the surrounding environment is cold, then the body temperature of its body gets decayed and the penguin must then be cold. If there is a decrease in the three processes of thermal conductivity, then the penguin will be responsible for survival in this cold. Especially when its own body can not keep itself warm. A cool place like Antarctica, where the temperature drops to -40 degrees, where wind speeds are three hundred kilometers per hour, where only a small penguin can survive by decaying its thermodynamics? It's a matter of little thought. That is why they are in the club.!

Also during the winter of penguin breeding in winter, it is most important to be in this group. The penguins are fully immune to pimping eggs in the egg. Father Penguin keeps these eggs separate from the cold. By doing this work he kept the eggs in his feet. Keeping it away from the cold, he kept it for almost a month.

The most surprising thing is that all this time parents have to eat penguins without having to heat the egg. Because he has his own food in the water. But he can not collect his food while keeping the eggs in the heat when he has heat. Since she can not go to bring food herself, this time she has to clamber with other penguins. And as a result, the body maintains its warmth, heat does not get decayed out, and it is also fed in egg [2].

This position has a pattern of penguins that cling to. It is 10 penguins in every 1 square meter. In this way, if the body is clamped together, the loss of heat by convection and radiation is greatly reduced. Thermal depletion is more in the case of those penguins who are located on the border at the same time. But the penguins near the border get natural help from other penguins on one side, so that their own thermal depletion is less. In such cases, the average thermal erosion of the penguins decreases considerably.

Let's clarify the matter a bit more. Let's say, there are many hot cylinders placed in a cold environment. The cylinders are kept in each other. As a result, the heat loss from the cylinders will be more. If we can calculate the thermal decomposition of the whole place, then the overall thermal reduction is seen to be very high, because due to the presence of each cylinder in each place, the area of ​​heat loss of the area has increased, due to which the rate of heat loss has increased. But now if the cylinders are made together like a bundle or cluster together, then the heat loss rate is decreasing and thermodynamics are going down.

It has been found in the study, when penguins are in the group, they lose about 32% less energy than being alone. Scientists count more metabolic activity and find results from such groups that if the body temperature of the penguins decreases by 1%, its body's thermodynamic decay can be saved from about seven to seventeen percent [3].
