Hi David,
I have been meaning to say hello. I have been amused by your dealings with webby and blah blah.
To what I knew would be my regret I looked at webby’s latest effort – http://theoilconundrum.com/
We start with the well known relatinship.
T=To+αlog(C/Co) – OK – a bit limited as we have to derive α empirically.
But apparently C/Co is mostly water vapour (not carbon doxide) which is caused by evaporation with an activation energy of -
H=0.42eV=4873Kelvins
OK – it is usualy expressed as Joules/mol or kg. eV has units of Joules and is supposedly the enthalpy of vaporisation of a single molecule – I haven’t checked the number but I am clueless as to why it is equal to Kelvins but let’s move on.
Then without explanation we get to –
C/C0=βe^−H/T
At this stage I get vertigo and fall over. But I did notice that you and I starred in the extracuricular ruminations of blah blah and webnutcolonoscope. How sweet – it is so nice to be cared about.
I am in fact going back to help out help out webbies traffic – it is a bit sad when there is only blah blah and webby on their own – and leave a message. I implore you all to likewise leave messages of hope and cheer.
I think there are quite a few denizens with actual intellect – and you are one of them.
Cheers
