Temperature Definition and 1000 Threads

What is the equation to calculate the temperature at a given distance from a heat source (inside a green house)? Example: I want to calculate the temperature at 2m, 3m, 5m, 7m from the heating object like a heater.

MODERATOR'S NOTE: NO TEMPLATE BECAUSE THREAD WAS SUBMITTED TO ONE OF THE REGULAR FORUMS Summary: Calculate the air change rate required to keep a certain temperature In question d above, you were asked to calculate how long the air flow in the system would be active in a day. Now factor in...

I assume that as time is moving much slower on the ship and that may affect the frequency of heat radiation. I am not sure how to phrase the question because I do not want to assume any answers. I did ask Mr. Google but no results.

On 23rd July, 2018, physicists from Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore, said that they had discovered superconductivity at room temperature. The paper in arxiv aroused doubts in the scientific world, but nothing was said after that. However, the team has reviewed the paper to a new...

I've set up a simple experiment to look at the ideal gas laws. My experiment is relatively simple in that I have a metal tube which is capped on one side. I am then pressurising the tube with air to 100 psi and locking it off. My thought is that as the pressure increased, with volume held...

In my quest to understanding radiation of the electromagnetic spectrum and the things around me I would like to confirm if I understand this correctly... - The color of objects around us doesn't always mean they are hotter than another just because of the color it has, for example: A blue...

In a drinking bird, water from the wet on the outside of the head evaporates, causing the vapor inside the head of the bird to cool. This reduces the pressure of the vapor at the top, allowing the higher pressure in the lower bulb to push up the column of liquid. But the bird's body (including...

I have a couple of questions related to this task. The reaction that I proposed was this: NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) <--> Na+ + Cl- + H2O (l) where as the solution manual have this net reaction, as nothing will happen with the Na+ and Cl- ions: H+ + OH- <--> H2O. I assume these reactions will...

I have a heat & mass balance diagram wherein there is a shell and tube heat exchanger to recover heat from hot exhaust gas using cold water. The exhaust gas inlet temperature is 120°C and the outlet is at 40°C. The inlet water temperature is 35°C while the outlet water temperature is at 50°C...

It seems for me that something is missing on the question. Actually, I do not know where to start.

Summary: 1.In the context of calibrating a scale to correlate volume change with temperature, my book states: "Since all substances change dimensions with temperature, an absolute reference for expansion is not available." What do they mean by an absolute reference in this instance? My...

I have a problem that i cannot solve despite my best efforts. I do realize not all information here is relevant, but i still included it so you could get the full picture. Imagining we have a cylinder that is filled with dry air (normal air without water vapor) that has a fixed volume of 8,5...

That's how far I've gotten and now I'm stuck!

mass of N2 = 28 * 1.67e-27 kg not sure if this is the right one - just googled it triple covalent bond N2 radii = 54e-12 m I tried to first find the rms speed: v = x/t = 50 * 54e-12 / 3 m/s Then I solved for T (in K): [50 * 54e-12 / 3]^2 * [28 * 1.67e-27] / [3 * 1.38e-23] = 9.14e-22 K

This is the final question on my assignment and I'm clueless as to where I should even start as the lesson seems to give no guidance. Help would be massively appreciated!

For a throttling valve C.V analysis, I am wondering why is it known that temperature remains the same for ideal gases. I understand that using the energy balance equation, I end up with h1=h2. Pretty simple so far. By breaking down enthalpy into its components u1+P1v1 = u2+P2v2 I realized that...

Hello, My sources seem to contradict here - one claims that it should be carried out at room temperature, while the other suggests that heating under reflux is necessary. Could someone please clarify this for me? Many thanks.

This quote from Wikipedia says that temperatures in the Thermosphere can reach 2,500 C during the daytime but "despite the high temperature, an observer or object will experience cold temperatures". "The highly diluted gas in this layer can reach 2,500 °C (4,530 °F) during the day. Despite the...

P_b/P_a =0.4 I have calculated mass of the syrup which is 0.42g We know that the power of a laser before is 100mW and after is 40mW, that means that the energy absorbed by the syrup is equal to 0.6J/s. I'm not really sure what to do here, the substance through which laser is going is Maple...

We are told that temperature measures the average kinetic energy of the molecules or atoms in a substance, but this cannot be true. If I take a jar of water and put the jar in my car and drive it aorund, it won't get hotter, though it's kinetic energy must surely be higher. Clearly, I've got...

This seems like a simple thermodynamics question but I would like clarification. So the absolute critical temperature is 132.5 K (-221.17 F) and the absolute critical pressure is 3.77Mpa (546.7 psi). I understand that for temperatures above the critical point, a pure substance undergoes an...

Hi PF! I have a tricky problem that I'm trying to model, and none of the typical textbook examples cover this--or they only cover it tangentially--so I was hoping to get some insight here. (Couldn't find a "Thermodynamics" section of the forums so if there's a better place to post this, please...

So we have that KE= (2/3)kT , meaning that if I increase the kinetic energy of water, it will become hotter, I searched it and it says that at the bottom of the waterfall, the water is slightly hotter. Of course I imagine that when they refer to the bottom, they refer to a part of the waterfall...

Earth rotates, it also orbits the Sun, the Sun orbits the galaxies and these have they’re own velocities as well. We know that the kinetic energy is measured by its velocity, and also that kinetic energy is related with temperature. By this I mean that the movement of particles are a measure of...
