Redpill me on heat transfer.
Is this one discipline, usually found in mechanical engineering departments, the source of all interesting phenomena?
Chemical reactions?
>heat transfer via atomic vibrations exchanging energy with each other
Condensed matter physics?
>electron and phonon heat transfer
Astrophysics?
>radiation/photon heat transfer
Biochemistry?
>same as chemical reactions
Literally every technology?
>all limited by heat transfer
Sexy mathematics?
>Check out the physics of electron/phonon heat transfer, macroscopic PDEs, convective fluid dynamics, etc.
Why shouldn't we all become heat transfer masters?
It's literally everywhere... FUUGGGG i have such a hard-on for heat right now
