admittedly i'm lost
maybe sober time? sooner than i thought?
something to do with an object of any given temp transfering heat to another object of an equal or lesser temp.......
someone else chime in and correct me or assist........
maybe it's just the wording that is making me confused
i think it was advanced fuels class or was it A/C
imperial where you at?
let this be a lesson to you kid's at home drug's + alcohol are BAD
make that a DBL straight up!
i'm going for a smoke
You're not thinking of Pascal's law, but I can't remember the name of the physics law you're thinking of . . .
Pascal's law is the basis of hydaulic theories and practice; pretty much - if fluid exists in an enclosed system, and pressure is applied to the fluid at one end of the system, the fluid will exert an equal or great amount of pressure amoung all points of the system. A fluid cannot be compressed.
I think you're thinking of if fluid is in an enclosed system and temperature of the fluid changes, so will it affect the pressure of the fluid within the system due to thermal expansion and contraction - but this shouldn't be anything to worry about if there is still ample amount of space left in a reservoir, as it would allow room for the fluid to expand and contract.
Or, you might be thinking of Newtons' law of cooling, which states "the rate of heat loss of a body is proportional to the difference in temperatures between the body and its surroundings, or environment." and is the basis of convection cooling theory - which means that as fluid accepts heat, it will flow to a cooler area where the fluid is then cooled, and cool fluid will be drawn to areas of heat. This is general convection theory. Warm is drawn to cold, as cold is drawn to warm.
Or, you might be thinking of Fourier's law, which states "that the time rate of heat transfer through a material is proportional to the negative gradient in the temperature and to the area at right angles, to that gradient, through which the heat is flowing" - which is the basis of heat conduction theory, which pretty much means that the amount of heat that can be transfered is dependant upon how well the medium (fluid) can transfer heat, and how quickly that heat can be given back off as well.
I think what you've been trying to describe is pretty much . . . the cooling system can only be as efficient as the fluid you're using in the system; I might be wrong, though.
But, don't forget that Murphy's Law supersedes and surpases all other laws, even
Newton's law of gravity and Einstein's theory of relativity.
