• Conduction concerns the transfer of heat through materials without convection.
• Consider an concrete wall of a heated garage. The outside of thegarage is at temperature T1 and the interior of the garage is a temperature T2. The conductive heat flow through a portion of the wall with area A is given by:

• H is the heat flow through the wall, k is the thermal conductivity of concrete, and L is the thickness of the concrete wall.
• Example: Calculate the heat flow through a 2 m2 section of a 20 cm thick concrete wall when the outside temperature is 0 oC and the inside temperature is 20 oC. Assume the thermal conductive of the concrete is 1.3 J/(s⋅ m ⋅ oC)

Temperature of the Planets
• The surface temperature of the Sun is about 5800 K. a) Taking the Sun’s radius to be 6.96 x 108 m, calculate the total energy radiated by the Sun each second. (Assume e = 0.965.) b) Calculate the equilibrium temperature of the Earth, Mercury, Venus and Mars. Assume for simplicity that the emissivity of the Earth, Mercury, Venus and Mars are all also 0.965. The orbital radii of these planets are given in the table.

Sometimes
• Even though Mercury is much closer to the Sun than Venus is, Venus is the hottest planet in our Solar System. Temperatures on the plains of Venus often reach 850 degrees Fahrenheit (450 degrees Celsius). This is because of the thick layer of carbon dioxide clouds that surround Venus. Much of the heat from the Sun that hits Mercury escapes back into space because Mercury does not have a large atmosphere withclouds to trap in the warmth. But the carbon dioxide clouds on Venus are so thick they create what scientists call a Greenhouse Effect.
• We cannot calculate the Greenhouse effect using Stefan’s equation. It occurs because the emissivity of the Venusian atmosphere is much larger for long wavelength infrared light and smaller for shorter wavelength light.

Mars Details• The Temperature of Mars• Mars is about one and a half times farther from the Sun as the Earth. This
means it receives 44% of the sunlight that we do on Earth, making the planet cold like an icebox. The Mars Pathfinder spacecraft, sitting on Mars' equator in the summer, recorded a high of 14º Fahrenheit.
• Mars undergoes strong seasonal temperature changes. The equator has a summer high temperature of 10-40º Fahrenheit while the Martian poles have a winter temperature of -195º Fahrenheit.
• However, there are also strong changes from day to day as well: Mars Pathfinder recorded the 14º Fahrenheit in the afternoon and went on to record a nighttime low of -105º Fahrenheit! This is the same as the difference between Chicago's summer and winter temperatures, occurring every single day in the same place!
• Lastly, the air on Mars is warmed from the ground up so at early morning your feet can be 70º Fahrenheit warmer than your nose!
• The ground temperatures affect the winds at ground level. Since cold air is denser (heavier), pressure increases at night in the cold and decreases in the day when it is warmer. The pressure difference between night and day drives thermal tide winds. These winds move east to west from the coldest, densest part of the planet's night side towards the hottest part of the planet's dayside (usually early afternoon). So, at ground level, winds blow at 4-16 miles per hour and change direction due to the large daily temperature change following the path of the Sun around Mars every day.
Venus details
• Even though Mercury is much closer to the Sun than Venus is, Venus is the hottest planet in our Solar System. Temperatures on the plains of Venus often reach 850 degrees Fahrenheit (450 degrees Celsius). This is because of the thick layer of carbon dioxide clouds that surround Venus. Much of the heat from the Sun that hits Mercury escapes back into space because Mercury does not have a large atmosphere withclouds to trap in the warmth. But the carbon dioxide clouds on Venus are so thick they create what scientists call a Greenhouse Effect. The Sun's heat enters the atmosphere and then the clouds trap much of it, not allowing it to escape out into space. So even though Venus is 31 million miles (or almost twice as far) from the Sun as Mercury, it is the hotter of the two planets
