Re: No that's quite wrong

That is an interesting calculator - it's interesting to note the changes in outcomes as input variables are changed.

Is 1.5 grams really 15 Newtons? I get about 0.015N by my reckoning. Of course, I live in a backward country where we still use pounds and ounces, so I'll let those in progressive locales weigh in on that one. Oddly, though, changing this variable seems to affect dT(bulk) but not dT(flash).

Since the effective velocity changes quite a bit as the stylus progresses, it's interesting to note that the temperature rise would be much greater at the outermost track than the inner. Seems like if temperature was the culprit in suspected 24hr or wear effects, outer tracks would be the first to go.

As for the transfer effects, I wasn't talking about conduction out of the interface (which it appears the model may include), but heat input to the surface from a diamond once it has warmed - clearly not included as it would require more information than the calculator uses.
