unusual facts about Surface area


Church of St Mary the Virgin, Beighton

The work included taking down the walls of the chancel and the south aisle and rebuilding them on the original footprint, the Clerestory windows to the nave were removed, and a gallery at the west end of the church was taken down.


Aquatic respiration

A large surface area to allow as much oxygen to enter the gills as possible due to the fact that more of the gas comes into contact with the membrane

Livewell

These often work by creating a spray that increases the surface area of the water, or by passing it through a Venturi.

Apavatn

With a surface area of around 13 km² it is slightly larger than the neighbouring lake of Laugarvatn, which lies to the north of Apavatn.

ARIANNA Experiment

ARIANNA will be built on the Ross Ice Shelf just off the coast of Antarctica, where it will eventually cover about 900 km^2 in surface area.

D-brane

The Bekenstein entropy is proportional to the black hole mass squared; because the Schwarzschild radius is proportional to the mass, the Bekenstein entropy is proportional to the black hole's surface area. In fact,

Effective temperature

A star near the middle of the spectrum, such as the modest Sun or the giant Capella radiates more heat per unit of surface area than the feeble red dwarf stars or the bloated supergiants, but much less than such a white or blue star as Vega or Rigel.

A red star could be a tiny red dwarf, a star of feeble energy production and a small surface or a bloated giant or even supergiant star such as Antares or Betelgeuse, either of which generates far greater energy but passes it through a surface so large that the star radiates little per unit of surface area.

Efrén Pérez Rivera

In a joint venture with the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources, the committee had a major role in the restoration project of Isla de Ratones, a small key by the coast of Cabo Rojo that is rapidly losing its surface area due to erosion.

Larnaca Salt Lake

The total surface area of the lakes adds up to 2.2 km² and being just off the road leading to Larnaca International Airport is one of the most distinctive landmarks of the area.

Lead–acid battery

Gaston Planté found a way to provide a much larger effective surface area.

Mar Menor

With a surface area of nearly 170km², a coastal length of 70km, and warm and clear water no more than 7 m in depth, it is "the largest swimming pool in the world", in the opinion of famous swimmer and Hollywood actress Esther Williams.

Pedro Valle Carlo

Valle Carlo also spearheaded the initiative to save Isla de Ratones (Mice Island), a small key off the coast of Cabo Rojo that israpidly losing its surface area through erosion.

Planetary equilibrium temperature

P=\sigma A { T }^{ 4 } Any incoming power to a black body is radiated as heat according to the Stefan–Boltzmann law, where P is the incoming power, σ is the Stefan–Boltzmann constant, A is the surface area of the black body, and T is the equilibrium temperature.

Raney nickel

Raney nickel is notable for being thermally and structurally stable, as well has having a large BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) surface area.

Sq m

Square mile, a unit of surface area in the Imperial measurement system and more usually abbreviated to sq mile or sq mi

Toco Toucan

Research has shown that one function is as a surface area for heat exchange.

Zwiesel Kristallglas

On 7 November 1884 Mueller sold the factory with the buildings and a surface area of altogether 3.045 hectars for 36,000 Goldmark to the brothers Theodor and Gustav Tasche of Cologne.
