Earth's internal heat budget (Earth 🌍)

Earth's internal heat budget is fundamental to the thermal history of the Earth. The flow of heat from Earth's interior to the surface is estimated at 47±2 terawatts and comes from two main sources in roughly equal amounts: the radiogenic heat produced by the radioactive decay of isotopes in the mantl...

Nanofluids and turbulators have potential to boost renewable energy and slash dependence on fossil fuels

Nanofluids and turbulators have enormous potential to boost thermal conductivity, increase heat transfer efficiency, cut energy costs, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, scientists say.

How Cooling Towers Work

Power plants (and other industrial settings) often need to cool water to control plant temperatures. This usually requires cooling towers like the iconic curved towers seen at nuclear power plants. Towers like these use little to no moving parts — instead relying cleverly on heat transfer, buoyancy, and thermodynamics — to move and cool massive amounts of water. Grady breaks them down in terms of operation, structural engineering, and fluid/thermal dynamics in this Practical Engineering video. Grady’s videos are always great, but I especially love how this one tackles a highly visible piece of infrastructure from multiple engineering perspectives.

Eğer bir su borusuna ísí yalıtımí yapmak isterseniz, belli bir kalınlığa ulaşana kadar arttırdığınız yalıtım kalınlığı ısı transferini arttırır. Misal 1 cm kalınlığında bir kaplama yapmak istiyorsunuz ama kalınlığı 0.25 olarak arttirabiliyorsuniz diyelim. 0.25 den0.50ye, 0.50den 0.75 e gelince ısı yalıtımı ters etki yapıp ısı transferini arttırıyor, taki 1 cm değerini geçene kadar. Düşününce akla mantığa ters geliyor değil mi?

This book aims to equip readers with the mathematical physics skills necessary to solve problems in mechanics, heat conduction, and electromagnetism. It covers a wide range of topics, from basic to advanced, and is intended for both students and researchers. The book provides hints for solving problems and includes detailed solutions to selected ones. Readers should have a solid background in applied mathematics to fully benefit from the book, but most problems in the earlier chapters are accessible to those with a basic understanding of mathematical physics methods.
