2008-07-18 Thermodynamics - Nichrome wire melting temp?: Hi Sharon, Ni-chrome wire typically melts at 2550 F and so would not melt at 2170F. The melting temperature is independent of the gauge so you can use any gauge. You should bear in mind that the wire...

2008-07-15 Thermodynamics - thermodynamics: 1) You're plotting PV = RT where R is the gas constant. At constant T, you get a curve of V vs. P. Obviously, if you increase T you get a new isotherm which cannot cross the old one. 2) Here you're...

2008-07-15 Thermodynamics - thermodynamics: Great question. The clouds act more or less like a blanket. Heat enters throgh the clouds and the clouds prevent much of that heat to escape. Please provide feedback. Respectfylly, Kenneth Alvin...

2008-07-13 Thermodynamics - Question about Purely-Radiant Cooling?: Hi Green, Why do you wish to cool with only radiant heat transfer? Your efficiency would increase as you use convective cooling. Conduction cooling would have a minimal impact. I am not at all...

2008-07-12 Thermodynamics - Gravity: Hi Julian, Gravity does not affect boiling point. Altitude and thus reducing air pressure at high altitude lowers boiling point. Higher gravity usually means more dense altitude, hence, higher boiling...
