Alan Fletcher <[email protected]> quoted someone: Thirdly, using the Stefan-Boltzmann law on anything that isn't a blackbody > isn't likely to convince me that you know what you're doing.
In the second test, they also calibrated in steps with the blank, and compared the actual surface temperatures, measured with the IR camera and the thermocouple. So this was not only dependent on the Stefan-Boltzmann law. It was more like ordinary isoperibolic calorimetry. Crude, but you can tell the difference between 280 W and ~900 W. Sigh . . . I guess there is no point to posting that response . . . A person could spend all day every day responding to these things, without impact. No one reads these responses. The people who post the messages do not stop and think. - Jed
