AI Thread Summary
Fourier's law of heat transfer describes how heat flows through materials, stating that the rate of heat transfer is proportional to the negative gradient of temperature and the area through which heat is being transferred. The discussion emphasizes the need for specificity when referring to Fourier's laws, as there are multiple laws associated with his work. Users are encouraged to seek additional information through online resources like Google for a deeper understanding. The conversation highlights a common confusion regarding the various applications of Fourier's principles. Understanding these concepts is essential for studying heat transfer effectively.

Hi guys, can you tell what is the fourier's law?

I've no clue. There are so many "laws" related to Fourier that you need a bit more specific about the context.

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
