The Efficient Engineer - Understanding Conduction and the Heat Equation, 05042022

Continuing the heat transfer series, this video looks at conduction and the heat equation. Fourier's law is used to calculate the rate at which heat is transferred through an object due to conduction. But it can only be applied if the temperature distribution within the body is known. To determine the temperature distribution, the heat equation needs to be solved

TED Ed (Animation) - Could we build a wooden skyscraper? 06072021

Towering 85 meters above the Norwegian countryside, Mjøstårnet is the world’s tallest wooden building, made almost entirely from the trees of neighboring forests. But as recently as the end of the 20th century, engineers thought it was impossible to build a wooden building over 6 stories tall. So how do wooden structures like this compare to steel and concrete skyscrapers?
