    Thermal radiation and water freezing

    The first part of the calculus with the integration is beyond my math skills so I had to ask for help to a friend of mine. He eventually found the same results as yours. Things are clearer for me now. This is very interesting and I've learnt. Thanks very much to you all.:cheers:

    Question What is the nationality of JEAN-LOUP J.M. CHRTIEN, any details ?

    In the above mentioned audio archive (in French), JLC explained that he reached the age limit of the French Administration (being a military) and thus being forced to retire. He requested the dual nationality to continue his works for the NASA. On a side note, he also married an American.
