Calculating Fire Temperature from Thermal Energy

AI Thread Summary
An infrared thermometer can be used to calculate the temperature of a fire based on the thermal energy it produces. The Stefan-Boltzmann law provides a formula for this calculation. This law relates the total energy radiated per unit surface area of a black body to the fourth power of its temperature. Understanding these principles allows for accurate temperature measurements in various thermal applications. Utilizing these tools and formulas can enhance thermal analysis in practical scenarios.

is there a way to calculate the themperture of something like a fire, if you know the thermal energy it produces.
 
Science news on Phys.org
alright and is there a formula with it
 
thank you:bow:
 

Thread 'Condensate rate of water for an air conditioning cooling coil'

I need to calculate the amount of water condensed from a DX cooling coil per hour given the size of the expansion coil (the total condensing surface area), the incoming air temperature, the amount of air flow from the fan, the BTU capacity of the compressor and the incoming air humidity. There are lots of condenser calculators around but they all need the air flow and incoming and outgoing humidity and then give a total volume of condensed water but I need more than that. The size of the...

Thread 'Why work is PdV and not (P+dP)dV in an isothermal process?'

Let's say we have a cylinder of volume V1 with a frictionless movable piston and some gas trapped inside with pressure P1 and temperature T1. On top of the piston lay some small pebbles that add weight and essentially create the pressure P1. Also the system is inside a reservoir of water that keeps its temperature constant at T1. The system is in equilibrium at V1, P1, T1. Now let's say i put another very small pebble on top of the piston (0,00001kg) and after some seconds the system...
