Which is warmer, a pair of nylon socks or a pair of cotton socks? Conduct an experiment .....


Test method


You can take two pieces of ice of the same size and shape in the refrigerator, wrap them in two plastic bags, tie the bag tightly to prevent water leakage, and put them together in a warm room with cotton socks and nylon socks. Continue to observe for a period of time, the ice cubes inside nylon socks melt quickly. And first, after melting, the ice cubes inside nylon socks melt faster, indicating that the insulation performance of nylon socks is worse than cotton socks. That is to say, nylon (nylon) has a faster heat transfer rate than cotton, while cotton's heat transfer performance is not as good as nylon (nylon).
