Chilly Diesel Problems
"Eisboch" wrote in message . .. "Calif Bill" wrote in message hlink.net... The flesh will not go below ambient temperature. Wind chill is the apparent amount of heat that would be lost if the temperature was lower. If the temperature is 5f and a wind chill is -30f, the flesh will lose heat at the same rate as if there was no wind and the temperature was -30. But the flesh will not go below 5f. If it tried to go below 5f, then the Wind Chill Factor would be the Wind Heating factor. I'll buy that. Eisboch I did get an A in Thermodynamics! |

In my humble opinion thermodynamics and fluid flow are among, if not the most, challenging engineering disciplines to master and apply. That's why I stuck with simple stuff like electronics. I struggled with Ohm's Law. Eisboch |

Thanks for setting the record straight on this. ;-) |
