Thermodynamics! An awesome field, with many important equations. We gathered the top 10 of these formulas, just for you!
1. Thermal Conductivity – heat flow rate
In physics, thermal conductivity is the property of a material to conduct heat. It is evaluated primarily in terms of Fourier’s Law for heat conduction. Heat transfer occurs at ...
In our last blog post, we mentioned the scientific mind of a military man, Jean-Charled de Borda, who invented a very smart election method, and his name is on the Borda-Carnot equation.
Today we are digging in the other half of the equation: Nicolas Leonard Sadi Carnot.
Carnot was also a military guy, but the ...

Lasers. We have talked about them two more times in the past. First was the Laser Cutting and the Gaussian beam. Then, the Laser Razor and the Wavelengths of light came by.
In both these stories, the "hot, burning and cutting" laser archetype was confirmed.
We all have in mind that lasers are for cutting ...

Our last two posts, were about that fascinating Google attempt to provide internet access to our planet's remote areas. Project Loon.
First we wanted to find out, what a balloon needs in order to fly, so we added a Hot Air Balloon Lift calculator to fxSolver's database. Then, we wondered how the electronics ...
Earlier this week, we talked about Google's project loon, and the brand new Hot air balloon lift calculator fxSolver now has.
After discussing the topic with the whole fxSolver team, G. was wondering how Google will protect its Wireless Routers from the low stratospheric temperatures. The payload of the balloon is limited, therefore they ...
There is a new water purification system with small modular units, that claims that it uses the most natural way to purify water, without polluting the environment.
It gathers (any) water and it heats it with the help of some solar panels.
As it heats, it begins to evaporate and the resulting vapor rises to ...
These days California faces a very long drought , which makes people worry about their liquid future. The local government has to come up with solutions regarding the matter.
Apart from the lack of rain, they have to face Vaporization. One of the great enemies of mankind when it comes to drought.
Vaporization of an element ...
The avocado is a tree native to Mexico and Central America, classified in the flowering plant family Lauraceae along with cinnamon, camphor and bay laurel. Avocado or alligator pear also refers to the fruit, botanically a large berry that contains a single seed.
Avocados are commercially valuable and are cultivated in tropical and Mediterranean climates ...
Scientists at Stanford say they’ve invented the first high-performance aluminum battery that’s “fast-charging, long-lasting and inexpensive.” It would solve many of the problems with lithium-ion and alkaline batteries. This seems to be a major breakthrough.
The aluminum-ion battery, made of aluminum and graphite in a liquid pouch, offers some potentially huge advantages. They ...
