  12. Cooling is rarely steady. Experiments show how heat transfer changes dynamically during rapid temperature drops.

    These transient effects matter for boiling regimes and could help refine models of vapor layer formation.

  24. Oceans Could “Burp” Out Absorbed Heat

    Earth’s atmosphere and oceans form a complicated and interconnected system. Water, carbon, nutrients, and heat move back and forth between them. As humanity pumps more carbon and heat into the atmosphere, the oceans–and particularly the Southern Ocean–have been absorbing both. A new study looks ahead at what the long-term consequences of that could be.

    The team modeled a scenario where, after decades of carbon emissions, the world instead sees a net decrease in carbon–which could be achieved by combining green energy production with carbon uptake technologies. They found that, after centuries of carbon reduction and gradual cooling, the Southern Ocean could release some of its pent-up heat in a “burp” that would raise global temperatures by tenths of a degree for decades to a century. The burp would not raise carbon levels, though.

    The research suggests that we should continue working to understand the complex balance between the atmosphere and oceans–and how our changes will affect that balance not only now but in the future. (Image credit: J. Owens; research credit: I. Frenger et al.; via Eos)

  26. Uranus Emits More Than Thought

    Since Voyager 2 visited Uranus in 1986, scientists have debated the odd ice giant’s heat balance. The other giant planets of our solar system — Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune — all emit much more heat than they absorb from the sun, indicating that they have strong internal heat sources. Voyager 2’s measurements from Uranus indicated only weak heat emissions.

    But a new study indicates that Uranus does, in fact, have an internal heat source contributing to its heat flux. The study combined observations with a global model of Uranus across the planet’s full 84-year orbit and concluded that Uranus emits 12.5% more internal heat than it absorbs from the sun. That suggests that Uranus may not be so different from its fellow giants, but the planet’s large seasonal variations and differences across hemispheres raise plenty of questions about the planet’s interior structure.

  27. Hydraulic diameter (Hydrology 💧)

    The hydraulic diameter, DH, is a commonly used term when handling flow in non-circular tubes and channels. Using this term, one can calculate many things in the same way as for a round tube. When the cross-section is uniform along the tube or channel length, it is defined as D H = 4 A P, {\displaystyle D_{\text{H}}={\frac {4A}{P}},}...

  30. 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...

  31. 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.

  32. 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?
