Which of the following is the principal heat exchange mode in an incubator?

Option 4 : Convection

Concept:

• Newborn children will always need to be kept in higher temperatures
• Because newborns cannot adapt to environmental changes
• The children who born before the completion of 42 weeks will be kept under the incubator
• Incubators are meant to produce heat and keep newborns warm enough

Explanation:

• This process is known as Phototherapy
• Frequent temperature changes can be
• It works by the principle of convection
• Preterm babies are highly recommended to stay in the incubator
• Cold temperatures are fatal to newborns

• Conduction -> By having direct contact the heat transfers
• Convection -> Transfer of heat by movement of air or gas
• Radiation -> Heat travels with the speed of light and reaches the another body
