Jäähdytysvirtaus
Jäähdytysvirtaus, also known as cooling flow, refers to the phenomenon of a fluid moving to absorb and transport heat away from a source. This process is fundamental in many natural and engineered systems aimed at temperature regulation. In nature, convection currents in the atmosphere and oceans are examples of jäähdytysvirtaus, distributing thermal energy around the planet. Oceans, for instance, play a crucial role in absorbing solar radiation and circulating this heat through thermohaline circulation.
In engineering, jäähdytysvirtaus is extensively utilized in various applications. Refrigeration and air conditioning systems rely on
