Could a good conductor be heated past the temperature of....

AI Thread Summary
A good conductor, such as metal, cannot be heated beyond the temperature of the heat source, as dictated by Fourier's law, which states that heat flows from higher to lower temperatures. Therefore, if a metal is exposed to a 100-degree flame, it will not exceed that temperature under normal conditions. Energy flow would only occur from the hotter flame to the cooler metal, not the other way around. While heat pumps can transfer energy from colder areas to warmer ones, this does not apply to the scenario of direct heating with a flame. In general, the metal will not surpass the temperature of the heat source.

Could a good conductor, like some metal, be heated past the temperature of the heat that's heating it. Like if I use a 100 degree flame and hold it for hours on some piece of metal, could the metal go above 100 degrees?

And I'm not talking about special cases. I mean does this generally happen?

No. Fourier's law prevents heat flow from a lower to a higher temperature

No. If the metal was hotter than the flame which way would energy flow?

Aside: A heat pump can be used to move energy from a cold place to a hot place.

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...
