EAGER: Thermal Radiation from Quantum Convection and Deterministic Quantum Mechanics

本项目是一个早期的概念探索性研究。从上个世纪早期开始，人们就尝试在亚原子水平上预测运动，例如电子围绕原子核运动，并导致了概率方法。这种方法可以提供在特定位置找到电子的几率，但不能指定一个明确的明确位置。这个被称为量子力学的领域的应用非常广泛。最重要的应用之一是辐射传热，如太阳辐射。这种随机过程一般是无法控制的。然而，如果量子力学可以被证明是确定性的，那么它很可能是可以控制的，也就是说，它可能只是确定性混沌，而不是随机和不可控的。这样的结果可能会彻底改变广泛的应用，并导致新的工程技术。这是一个根本性的变革项目，旨在量子对流和辐射传热。研究的前提是电子不是粒子，而是可压缩流体。因此，人们可以制定一套连续的控制方程的电子可压缩流体周围的原子？s核。计算结果将提供电荷（电子可压缩流体）在核周围的量子对流。预计普朗克？s常数，这是一个普遍的常数获得只有实验，将推导出理论作为这个项目的一部分。亚原子现象的量子性质将被保留，但它不会被预先强加，而是作为结果出现。结果对辐射传热的影响和辐射性能的独立评估，如发射率将是理论的工程成果之一？该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

This project is an early concept exploratory research. Predicting motion at the sub-atomic level, for example electrons moving around the nucleus of an atom has been attempted since early last century and led to a probabilistic approach. This approach can provide the odds of finding the electron in specific locations, but cannot specify a definitive explicit location. The applications of this field, called quantum mechanics, are extremely wide. One of the most important applications is radiation heat transfer, such as solar radiation. This type of random processes cannot in general be controlled. However, if quantum mechanics can be shown to be deterministic, then it is likely that it can be controlled, i.e. instead of random and uncontrollable, it might just be deterministically chaotic, and then controllable. Such an outcome may revolutionize a wide range of applications and lead to new engineering technologies.This is a fundamental transformative project aimed at quantum convection and radiation heat transfer. The premise of the research is that the electron is not a particle but rather a compressible fluid. Consequently, one can formulate the continuum set of governing equations for the electron compressible fluid surrounding the atom?s nucleus. The results will provide the quantum convective flow of the charges (the electron compressible fluid) around the nucleus. It is anticipated that the Planck?s constant , which is a universal constant obtained only experimentally, will be derived theoretically as part of this project. The quantum nature of the sub-atomic phenomena will be retained, however it will not be imposed upfront but rather emerge as a result. The impact of the results on radiation heat transfer and the independent evaluation of radiation properties, such as the emissivity will be one of the engineering outcomes of the theory?s application.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
