Homework Help Overview

The original poster is exploring the concept of temperature multiplied by power, seeking a relevant example or scenario in physical phenomena or mathematical calculations. They mention thermal conductivity as a related concept but express uncertainty about situations where the product of temperature and power is applicable.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Some participants suggest potential connections to the Transistor Safe Operating Area and thermal conduction problems, while others express confusion about the definitions of variables involved, particularly regarding the relationship between power, temperature, and effort in thermal conduction.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants sharing thoughts and references but lacking a clear consensus or definitive examples. Some guidance has been offered regarding potential contexts, though clarity on the original poster's question remains elusive.

Contextual Notes

The original poster indicates a lack of findings in their own research and expresses curiosity about the absence of examples related to temperature times power.

Homework Statement



I'm trying to come up with a situation, perhaps in a mathematical calculation, or characteristic describing physical phenomena that is related to temperature times power. I know that thermal conductivity is measured in temperature divided by power, but unsure of a scenario were temperature times power comes up. I'm just looking for an example and can't seem to find anything. Thanks for any help.

Interesting question. I'm not sure there is one, but Transistor Safe Operating Area comes to mind. You might be able to transform some of the associated plots to have a Power * Temperature axis...

Google found this. See bottom of page 1. I'm afraid I haven't looked at it very carefully so might not be quite what you are looking for...

In thermal conduction problems, for example, the product of "effort" variable and "flow" variable is again not power, but power times temperature.

"In thermal conduction problems, for example, the product
of "effort" variable and "flow" variable is again not power, but power times temperature."

But for thermal conduction I thought that the effort variable was hear flow rate and temperature. Where are they getting power times temperature confuses me

You haven't found anything in the last 2 weeks in your own research or with our ideas? Where does this question come from anyway?
 
No I have found nothing. That document didn't really explain anything. I honestly haven't had much time. It's just for my own curiosity, and because I find it odd that there doesn't seem to be anything.
