My fault. I mistook the last statement of yours to be a general statement, and not one specifically about air since it wasn't specified. :) In the case of air your statement is certainly correct.

That's because you picked an arbitrary substance, which just happens to freeze at 273 K. The case would be quite different if you picked mercury, antifreeze, or vodka.

I picked it specifically for that reason, thinking it'd make a decent example of the (null) point I was making. Could just as easily have used an alcohol or some sort of refrigerant and got a %-change of 100-150% or so (estimating).

Having fun going through Appendix A of your heat transfer book? :)

I knew I kept this miserable text for something. Suddenly that $200 I spent on it 3 years ago seems worth it. :sly:

If you ever bring the Navier-Stokes equation back to GTP, I will be forced to hunt you down and tattoo it on your genitals.

I think that just might be the coolest idea for a genital tattoo ever.

It would be very handy when heat transfer happens to occur at the genitals.
 
I was wondering if that was where he kept his reference materials.

Well, it is one part of the body where fluid flow is of utmost importance.
