Needs details or clarity | |

Sometimes you'll consider the case of "two infinite plates parallel" when you want to find approximate or theoretical behaviour, for example. | |

| May 29, 2017 at 18:04 | comment | added | JMac | @SeñorO Good thing diffusion isn't the only way to transfer heat then... | |
| May 29, 2017 at 18:01 | comment | added | Señor O | Wouldn't have an effect on anything outside of Earth's atmosphere - diffusion doesn't really work through a vacuum | |
| May 29, 2017 at 17:54 | comment | added | JMac | How big is the ice cube? That will make all the difference (kind of, the technical answer would be infinite time regardless of the size as long as it wasn't the size of the entire universe). | |
