A main challenge to physicists at the turn to modernity 1900 was to explain radiative heat transfer as the process of emission, transfer and...

The prime evidence put forward to support global warming alarmism is a measurement of the spectrum of  Outgoing Longwave Radiation OLR from ...

We recall from a  previous post : Heat energy can be generated from large scale kinetic energy by compression.  Kinetic energy can be gen...

Kinetic energy, electrical energy , chemical and nuclear energy can all be converted fully into heat energy , while heat energy can only ...

This is a continuation of the previous post on Heat Conduction in Solids as Radiative Heat Transfer  with  clarifying analysis from Mathemat...

What is the physics of heat conduction in a solid like a metal? The trivial story is that "heat flows from warm to cold" or "...

In the present discussion of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics let us go back to this post from 2011  exposing the 19th century battle between  ...

The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics states that heat energy $Q$ without forcing, is transferred from a body of temperature $T_1$ to a body of temp...

Transfer of heat energy from warm to cold by electromagnetic waves. This is a continuation of recent posts on the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics....

Schwarzschild's equation for heat transfer by radiation through the atmosphere is a two-stream upwelling-downwelling heat transfer mode...

Euler CFD as a parameter free Theory of Everything ToE for slightly viscous incompressible fluid flow is a prime example of the idea of fin...

Heat energy is a central element in both thermodynamics and radiative heat transfer. But what is in fact heat energy? The 1st Law of Thermod...

Driving in the wrong direction on a one-way street, firmly believing it to be a two-way street, is stupid and potentially deadly hazardous...

CO2 alarmism is based on an unphysical version of Stefan-Boltzmann's Law and associated Schwarzschild equations for radiative heat tr...

There is a connection between the action of a piano as presented in the sequence of posts The Secret of the Piano  and a laser (Light Ampli...

Vincent Gray seeks to clarify the physics of the "greenhouse effect" in a new blog post at  The Australian Climate Sceptics - Ex...

The basic model for radiative heat transfer in a horisontal slab atmosphere, with vertical coordinate $x$ with $x=0$ at the Earth surface an...

Brev till mig från LB 5/4: Eftersom jag råkade ha ett exemplar av Elsassers monografi sänder jag den här. Den är lite gammaldags (1942) me...

The above diagram is supposed to capture the essence of the science of CO2 global warming alarmism. We see massive "Back Radiation...

Computational Blackbody Radiation  describes radiative energy transfer as a resonance phenomenon between resonators connected by standi...
