…weaken when the temperature increases. Figure 2: Setting the temperature coefficient. Several Energy2D users have requested adding PTC/NTC controls to the software. So this was added last night. You can…
…night I came up with an idea for simulating mantle convection, the slow creeping motion of Earth’s rocky mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior of the…
…rise by 3.5°F. Why the big disparity? Scientists don’t really know the overall effect of the aerosols, particles as disparate as soot from burning fossil fuels and sea salt. But…
…allows students to get a sense of real-world experiments without entailing the time and cost. But the downside is that a computer simulation, most of the time, is an overly…
…to warm as a result of CO2 emissions from the last century. The simulation showed that warming will continue rather than stop or reverse on the 1000-year time scale.” Does…
