If you count a normal refrigerator as \"similar\": it\'s a metal box
that\'s cooler on the inside, then \"yes\", something similar is
reasonable.

This wrong idea is not new.

Putting a lie in capital letters does not make it true. Metals feel
colder to the touch because they have a higher specific heat capacity.

They also burn you more effectively when hot like an oven shelf.

You mean those closed minded people that understand thermodynamics?

Is the temperature inside of a metal box cooler than ambient
temperature?

I need to look. If that is so. Can be used for storing medicine and
maybe other things.

I have a metal box in my kitchen and the temperature inside is
definitely cooler than ambient. I use it for storing things other than
medicine.

Amazon has a nice dual thermocouple thing...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018QHQSB8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

which would let you verify the observation.

Which is impossible, of course. It would be a perpetual motion
machine.

A big metal box could add some thermal mass to smooth a heat spike,
but not for long.

Unless you paint it.

If the metal is the radiant heat source, do I want to paint that metal
black, or leave it bare, for cooling? I\'m thinking of a motorcycle
engine\'s air-cooled cylinder and head.

I\'ve read inconclusive blather about black radiating more heat, but the
paint also being an insulator.

If you put a metal box inside a metal box, it would get even colder!
Use that to store ice cream.

Black anodize would be good to increase radiation from aluminum.

Things that are black in the thermal IR spectrum are good radiation
emitters and good absorbers, high emissivity. Shiny metals, opposite.

Paint is almost black in the far IR, but as you note is also a thermal
insulator. It will make convective air cooling worse.

Anodize is very thin and both radiates and conducts well.

\"Black\" here means black at thermal wavelengths, not necessarily
visually black. Water is black at these wavelengths.

Thin black plastic garbage bags are nearly transparent in the thermal
IR. That can be handy.

does radiation really make a significant difference at normal heatsink temperatures?

No, of course not.
Have you ever tried?

If you sit something down on an aluminum flat bar, the aluminum very
likely will dissipate heat from the object.

Metal is much cooler than ambient temperature. I know that for a fact.

You think you do. It\'s thermodynamic nonsense - driven by the fact that you are usually warmer than ambient temperature.

> It\'s not just to the touch, it\'s actually measured much cooler.

Then you screwed up the measurement.

Sometimes people are dismissive of new ideas, especially common things
they should have thought of themselves.

It does happen, but most of the ideas that get dismissed - like this one - happen to be obviously wrong, and stay that way, if looked into more carefully. Continental drift is the famous exception - but \"the looking into it more carefully\" took about fifty years.

> Hopefully it\'s a telltale sign that the idea has never been tried.

Your optimism is misplaced.

I originally posted that in the metalworking group. My entourage (a
little upset that I expose its nym-shifting) posted it here for some
strange reason, maybe because I was thinking of doing so? Perhaps it\'s
an alter ego of mine...

Another top-posting troll. Even one of you is entirely superfluous.

Weird. I explain to you in terms a high school kid could understand that what you are saying is wrong and instead of learning something you attack me..

The fact is you either did not read what I wrote or didn\'t understand it. The fact is you have never put a thermometer on a metal object that is in equilibrium with it\'s environment. If you had you would know a metal object is not cooler than it\'s environment unless the environment temperature has gone up and the metal is no longer in equilibrium.

This is very basic thermodynamics. I\'d be happy to explain it to you, but not if you aren\'t willing to learn.

The radiation power goes as the 4th power of the temp, so it starts to
matter as a heat sink gets pretty hot.

Try this:

I think that\'s right.

Engines mostly cool by conduction, not radiation. So the color is not very significant.

Polished metals, especially copper and brass, are excellent
reflectors at thermal wavelengths. Plastics are nearly black in the
thermal IR. So if there is a radiant heat source around, the metal
will feel cooler than some other things.

Unless you paint it.

If the metal is the radiant heat source, do I want to paint that metal
black, or leave it bare, for cooling? I\'m thinking of a motorcycle
engine\'s air-cooled cylinder and head.

I\'ve read inconclusive blather about black radiating more heat, but the
paint also being an insulator.

1. I did not post to this group, a nym-shifting stalker troll did
that.

2. I have already made perfectly clear in follow-up posts that my
post elsewhere was mistaken.

3. There is no need to pollute this thread/group with more netcop
troll garbage when you are not cognizant enough to see what has
transpired...

Is the temperature inside of a metal box cooler than ambient
temperature?

I need to look. If that is so. Can be used for storing medicine and
maybe other things.

No, of course not.
Have you ever tried?

If you sit something down on an aluminum flat bar, the aluminum very
likely will dissipate heat from the object.

Metal is much cooler than ambient temperature. I know that for a fact.

You think you do. It\'s thermodynamic nonsense - driven by the fact that you are usually warmer than ambient temperature.

It\'s not just to the touch, it\'s actually measured much cooler.

Then you screwed up the measurement.

Sometimes people are dismissive of new ideas, especially common things
they should have thought of themselves.

It does happen, but most of the ideas that get dismissed - like this one - happen to be obviously wrong, and stay that way, if looked into more carefully. Continental drift is the famous exception - but \"the looking into it more carefully\" took about fifty years.

Hopefully it\'s a telltale sign that the idea has never been tried.

Your optimism is misplaced.

I originally posted that in the metalworking group. My entourage (a
little upset that I expose its nym-shifting) posted it here for some
strange reason, maybe because I was thinking of doing so? Perhaps it\'s
an alter ego of mine...

Another top-posting troll. Even one of you is entirely superfluous.

If you want to fail attempt an assault on the laws of
thermodynamics.
