  2. Muliple heat sources, same object - final temperature reasoning

    physics.stackexchange.com/questions/335238/muliple-heat...

    What happens when two or more independent heat sources heat the same object? For example, where one heat source on its own creates an equilibrium temperature with the object of 35C, and the other creates an equilibrium temperature with the object at 50C - also on its own.

  3. What is a heat source and heat sink in relation to...

    physics.stackexchange.com/questions/151285/what-is-a-heat...

    As mentioned above, but important to stress, the temperature of the reservoir does not change when heat is added or extracted because of the infinite heat capacity. As it can act as a source and sink of heat, it is often also referred to as a heat reservoir or heat bath. And in the context of a thermodynamic cycle, a heat source and a heat sink.

  4. Modelling multiple heat sources? - Physics Stack Exchange

    physics.stackexchange.com/.../modelling-multiple-heat-sources

    Such as, taking a server and modelling the temperature decrease over time and models taking distance into account based Fourier's equations. However I am now looking to step the model into 2 dimensions and this involves considering a stack of servers with multiple heat sources stacked on each other (such as a server rack).

  5. How does Infrared Relate to heat? - Physics Stack Exchange

    physics.stackexchange.com/questions/80983

    The energy loss by a black body is given by the Stefan-Boltzman law. Thus the energy carried away by the infrared radiation reduces the heat content of the radiating body. This is the connection of infrared to heat. The microscopic interactions that give rise to the photons are explained in the other answers.

    physics.stackexchange.com/questions/416337/if-two-objects...

    Applying a heat source raises the temperature of A by 10 degrees up to 110 degrees. With no modifications, the heat source is applied to B. Again, all other things being equal: should B be expected to heat up by 10 degrees also, or by some other amount? For an example, consider a room that you want to warm with a fire.

  7. Is heat always associated with Light? - Physics Stack Exchange

    physics.stackexchange.com/questions/201286

    Thermal radiation is emitted by any surface having a temperature higher than absolute zero. So the short answer to your question is yes. Light (electromagnetic radiation) of any frequency will heat surfaces that absorb it. In case of Fluorescence, the emitted light has a longer wavelength (lower frequency), and therefore lower energy, so that's ...

    0. Is there a heat engine (except Carnot ones), which gets the heat at the temperature T =TH T = T H and exhausts its waste heat at T =TC T = T C, having an efficiency of μ = 1 − Tc TH μ = 1 − T c T H? δqk δ q k Tk T k ∑k δqk Tk ≤ 0 ∑ k δ q k T k ≤ 0. δq1 T1 + δq2 T2 = 0 δ q 1 T 1 + δ q 2 T 2 = 0 δq1 + δq2 + δw = 0 δ q ...

  9. Why are only infrared rays classified as "heat rays"?

    physics.stackexchange.com/questions/665946/why-are-only...

    Part of this range is used for thermal cameras that are intended to track high-temperature heat sources, typically the heat engines that power tanks, jets and rockets. Visible light. Going up to 750 THz, the wavelength continues to decrease to about 400 nm. Not all that much changes compared to near infrared, but there are some notable points.

  10. What common materials absorb most infrared light?

    physics.stackexchange.com/questions/146451/what-common...

    The common materials I found that best absorbed IR light are rubbery matte-black substances. Spray-on rubbery substances like Plastidip and Flexidip also worked well. But like pentane's answer explains, even these still reflect quite a lot. Edit: Although it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, I found that, as far as IR sensors are concerned ...

    physics.stackexchange.com/questions/459462

    Similar thing is true for many (probably most) industrial use of electric energy - most of it dissipates into heat in the atmosphere, ocean and Earth crust. This too contributes to heating the planet. (Part of this energy - from renewable sources - would heat the planet anyway, but in 2019 that is a small percentage of total energy consumed.)
