EAGER: Thermal Radiation from Quantum Convection and Deterministic Quantum Mechanics

本项目是一项早期的概念探索性研究。自上世纪初以来，人们一直在尝试在亚原子水平上预测运动，例如围绕原子核运动的电子，并导致了一种概率方法。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换热，如太阳辐射。这种类型的随机过程通常是无法控制的。然而，如果量子力学能够被证明是确定性的，那么它很可能是可以控制的，也就是说，它可能不是随机和不可控的，而是确定性的混沌，然后是可控的。这样的结果可能会给广泛的应用带来革命性的变化，并带来新的工程技术。这是一个旨在研究量子对流和辐射换热的根本性变革项目。研究的前提是电子不是粒子，而是可压缩的流体。因此，我们可以建立围绕原子S核的电子可压缩流体的连续统控制方程组。结果将提供围绕原子核的电荷(电子可压缩流体)的量子对流。普朗克-S常数是一个仅通过实验获得的普适常量，预计将作为该计划的一部分从理论上推导出来。亚原子现象的量子本质将被保留，但它不会被预先强加，而是作为结果出现。研究结果对辐射换热的影响以及辐射性能的独立评估，如发射率，将成为S应用理论的工程成果之一。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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.
