Heat Transfer and Applied Thermodynamics

Last time we looked at a rule-of-thumb for energy used in running.  Today we’ll look at another rule-of -thumb for the effect of runne...

In the last two posts, here and here , we looked at the relationships between grade, power expenditure, and pace for running.  In tho...

Last post we looked at the energy cost of running uphill at a certain pace.  This time we’ll flip that around and look at the uphill pace t...

Earlier, we talked about the power required for bicycling uphill .  Today we’ll talk about the same effects for running uphill.

In keeping with the theme of material properties from the last post, today we’ll talk about thermal conductivity which is a material proper...

Earlier, we looked at the specific heat ratio , and we also looked at the variation in specific heat with temperature here and here . Today...

We’ve been talking here and here about the effects of weight, speed, and grade on climbing hills on a bicycle.  Now, let’s reverse direc...
