Now that I have been living in my Dollar Store Studio (Do
you like that name? I came up with that
this week for my content strategy course.) for a month, I have learned
something very interested about the hallways.
The insulation between the apartments and the hallway is
non-existent. There are visible gaps
around the doors. Evidence for this is
that I can smell some wonderful Indian food in the hallway when I come home
from work. There are a lot of South
Asians in my building, obviously. And
their food smells leak into the hallway.
On the other hand, it is at least 10 degrees warmer in the
hallway then in my apartment. It was 20
degrees during the summer (not good), but in the winter I think that might be a
bonus.
Except that I can’t help but wonder why food smells transfer
but temperature doesn’t. I am sure there
is some physics explanation for this about the size of food particles versus
the pressure differential that transfers temperature. But that is way beyond my physics
skills. I barely got through Physics 1
at Tufts. If someone could explain this
to me, I would appreciate it.
