Dark matter can't radiate heat (i.e. no electromagnetic energy). 1. Might it retain the original temperature at the moment of its creation? 2. If temperature is directly related to pressure and both are inversely related to volume, then would cosmic expansion mean that dark matter is as...

Working on a project where we have been asked to utilize waste heat from a combustion process in order to increase the temperature of oil in a separate process. The hot air from combustion is at 340C and the oil is at 22C with a target temperature of 65C I have not seen any hot air heat...

Hi, so I have this interesting theoretical question. Consider scenario: A hot sauna. The heat source is a number of stones which take heat from a chimney which takes heat from a burning wood. Periodically you pour some water on the stones to create some steam. This, of course, cools down...

According to Einstein (e.g. in his book The Meaning of Relativity), a clock rotating about a central clock will be judged by the central clock to run slower than the central clock. This means that a signal sent by the central clock will be perceived by the rotating clock as being of a higher...

This question has puzzled me for a long time and there have been many kinds of answer for it. The most sensible explanation I have heard is this one. http://physics.stackexchange.com/a/33026/40382 But then I found another explanation at...

If heat flow is the momentum change from a faster moving atom or molecule to a slower moving one, and momentum is mass x velocity is it possible - for a very limited amount - for heat to flow from a slower (colder) heavy atom to a faster moving (hotter) atom ?

Heat flows from higher temperature to lower temperature. The body temperature is 37 celcius, but still if that's the surrounding's temp., it is very hot. Why so? Shouldn't 37 celcius be the perfect temp?

In an AC circuit, we know that the polarity inverses, and what i know is that the flow of current also will therefore inverse.. which means that the live will become negative and the neutral will become positive.. What i can't understand is how the polarity inverses but the live is still the hot...

Hi everyone, I'm working on a project at my university and I'm having trouble figuring out how much heat escapes a hot tub when it's at 42°C and outside temperature is at around 7°C (I live in Iceland). I'm considering the hot tub closed with a styrofoam cover about 10cm thick and walls of the...

Light bending in the "hot plate" model of curvature In the Feynman lectures, feynman describes the hot plate model of space curvature and shows that light is bent around the center of the plate, see Fig. 42-6 http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/II_42.html#Ch42-S1 However, the hot plate...

Generally for bathing purpose, we heat water to higher temperature say T1 than the temperature at which body is comfortable say T0 (is T0 = 70 degree Celsius?) & add some quantity of cold water to it to have the temperature of water = T0. Is the process energy efficient? What is the best...

Homework Statement I'm having a slightly hard time with a topic we are studying at school 'the evolution of the universe'. My first question relates to the Big Bang Model itself; does the Big Bang Model itself describe the evolution of the universe after the Planck time up to this point...

I have tools that are made of metal and very reflective and shiny. If shiny objects reflect light waves, how is it that my tools get too hot to touch if I leave them in the sun (in the summer months)? Are the tools absorbing other forms of EM radiation?

What temperature would the human body need to be in order to sustain all necessary metabolism reactions in the absence of a catalyst? I know this is unreal, I am just curious of an order of magnitude estimate.

Took apart a hot plate, nichrome is touching directly to the iron?? How is it not shorting out?

If I was going to build a fusion device for energy production I would build a cylinder filled with fusion fuel and the fusion would happened in the center. First it would be hard to start the fusion with relatively cold fuel. After a while of heating, the surrounding fuel would be hotter even if...

Closed, collapsing universe+only photons at first --> matter when hot? Suppose we had closed, collapsing universe with a uniform thermal distribution of low energy photons like that of the CMB and no other matter (I suppose we must pick the initial conditions right for collapse to occur) . As...

Homework Statement I just completed a lab in class where we heated a copper pipe and measured the temperatures at 25 different locations. Each of these locations is called a node. The goal is to find the convection losses by using the First Law (qc1 + qc2 + qc3 + qc4 + qrad + qconv = dECV/dt)...

Let me give you a glimpse at my research. I uploaded a video of my latest simulation on youtube, . You can see the formation and evolution of vortices in hot plasma such as fusion plasma. The subtlety is that these vortices do not live in the real, everyday-life 3D space, but in an...

A couple questions about a "hot room" concept. I had an idea that I may try to implement should I ever get around to building my dream house. I think of it as a "hot room". The idea is that there is a utility room which is positioned to receive most of the wast heat generated by household...

http://www.iflscience.com/chemistry/hot-water-freezes-faster-cold-and-now-we-know-why I thought that this had never been shown to happen with closed containers. I always thought that this was an issue of open containers allowing for evaporation and hence a smaller amount of frozen water, and...

This question is really starting to bug me!:bugeye: Consider for example Io is orbiting Jupiter and the force of the gravity pulling the moon towards the planet vs the momentum pulling in the other direction creates friction in the moon's core. First of all, this should heat up the moon. But...

When tiny droplets of hot water touch your hand you don't feel much pain but when large amount of hot water spills on your hand it will cause serious injuries. Why? - is this due to the heat energy in the tiny droplets of water is lesser so the energy transferred to the hand is lesser...
