AI Thread Summary
Heat transfer in a two-dimensional field occurs primarily through radiation, especially in the vacuum of space or still air. The heat equation, u_t = u_{xx} + u_{yy}, describes heat conduction in materials, but in the absence of matter, radiation becomes the dominant mechanism. The energy transfer in this context is quantified by the Stefan-Boltzmann law, E = σΔT^4, where σ represents the Stefan-Boltzmann constant. This highlights the significance of temperature differences in facilitating thermal energy movement across space.

How does HEAT, get transferred form one location to another in only a two-dimensional field?

If we define the Cold Vacuum of space as a field background(I believe current models define Einsteins field Eqautions as being Vacua dominant), just how does thermal Heat move across Space?
 
Science news on Phys.org
Heat conduction in materials is governed by the heat equation:

u_t = u_{xx}+u_{yy}

In free space or even still air the main mechanism for heat transfer is Radiation. Seems to me that the energy goes like

E= \sigma \Delta T^4

here \sigma is the Stephan Boltzmann constant.

Thread 'Thermo Hydrodynamic Effect'
Vídeo: The footage was filmed in real time. The rotor takes advantage of the thermal agitation of the water. The agitation is uniform, so the resultant is zero. When the aluminum cylinders containing frozen water are immersed in the water, about 30% of their surface is in contact with the water, and the rest is thermally insulated by styrofoam. This creates an imbalance in the agitation: the cold side of the water "shrinks," so that the hot side pushes the cylinders toward the cold...
