How long does it take for the temperature on Earth to....

AI Thread Summary
The temperature on Earth begins to cool shortly after sunset, influenced by local conditions and whether a location is gaining or losing heat. During a total solar eclipse, temperatures can drop along the eclipse's path due to the temporary absence of sunlight. Observations indicate that cooling can start even before sunset, depending on specific environmental factors. Resources from Space.com and NASA provide insights into temperature changes during such events. Recording and analyzing these temperature shifts during the upcoming eclipse is anticipated to be an engaging activity.

How long does it take for the temperature on Earth to cool down after the sun has set? I want to know if the total solar eclipse will change the temperature.

I'm not sure how to approach the first question.

Your spot on Earth can start to cool before the sun sets. It just depends if your spot is net gaining or loosing heat overall.
 

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...
