Hello,
There are two questions in my original e-mail:
The second one - about temperature distribution as function of time and distance from heat source is more or less clear, but if someone can recommend where I can read about relevant math it would be great.
The first question actually is...
Usually it is said that loss of heat through a chunk of material because of conduction is proportional to difference in temperature and inversely proportional to thickness of material.
E.g. if I got a wall to ΔQ = K*S*ΔT/D.
where ΔQ - is energy flow through material. K - constant characteristic...
Ok, that helps.
I got some understanding of how planets evolve and I brought this example of planets in order to illustrate a contradiction which I was unable to explain. Of course planets are spherical not because it is a law of nature, but because under conditions you mentioned they will...
Hello, from time to time I got question in physics for which I can't readily find answers. I hope I can get answers here. Here is my current one: Usually textbooks state that space contracts in direction parallel to direction of motion. It sounds strange, because time changes uniformly, and as I...
