Red Heat
Winter 1961. Bruce Cordell has had quite enough trouble in his life. With a reputation badly injured by the collapse of his investigation into a corrupt corporation, he wants to keep his head down. His life has become mundane, reduced to desk work, and complicated only by family responsibilities. That is until his boss gives him a new case. A case which means that he will have to travel to the Caribbean Island of St. Eleanor, a tiny British colony being readied for independence. There the moderate First Minister, Warwick Constantine, favourable to joining the new West Indian Federation, has died suddenly, apparently from an overdose of barbiturates. Cordell is commissioned to investigate the circumstances of his death. But from the outset it is clear that mysterious interests know of his assignment. A strange delivery to his home implies a warning. Onslow-Bell, representing the business consultancy, International Project Assessment (IPA), inveigles Cordell into agreeing to compile a short report on St. Eleanor's prospects in return for an astonishingly generous remuneration. But from the outset Cordell feels his movements are being shadowed. Soon he finds himself caught up in a toxic mix of independence politics: plantation workers find their produce 'blacked' by shipping companies at the behest of the monolithic Allied Fruits; the United States is keeping a wary eye on Castro's revolution across the Caribbean and seeks a Naval anchorage in St. Eleanor; the multinational Alpha Omega is hoping to develop a tourism complex, a proposal backed by the new First Minister, the radical and slick Bob Jamieson. But more disturbing he finds are the oleaginous Jake Oppenheimer from Government House and his own IPA contact, the suave Rufus Halliday, who soon enmesh Cordell in their own intrigues. Cordell is assisted by two new local colleagues, the irrepressible Lucy Wainwright and the blunt speaking Tim Quick. Early enquiries lead Cordell to Quentin Quillham, an expatriate writer who was the last person to see Constantine alive. Quillham throws doubt on the circumstances of the First Minister's death, highlighting his anger at Allied Fruits' behaviour and that his last professional duties had involved reading a confidential report, now unaccountably missing. Quillham's wife, Chantelle, meanwhile runs a successful arts gallery in the capital, St. Jacques, as well as hosting soirees for the island's budding artists and up and coming elite. Investigations are derailed by a mysterious phone call from a female informer warning him that Quillham's life is in danger. This soon becomes an accomplished fact and Cordell despairingly seeks out the original police investigator, Woodbine Parish. Parish's ruminations lead Cordell and Lucy to search for a low life, Julian Maddox who had dealings with both Quillham and also Constantine whom he had approached ostensibly on behalf of desperate plantation workers. The Governor, Sir Godwin Faed, intervenes, educating Cordell in some of the realities of independence and the growing significance and concerns of the Americans. An informer Geneviève Clouin, a young French assistant working with Chantelle Quillham opens up suspicions about Halliday, Jamieson and the activities of Alpha Omega. A harrowing quest for answers begins, one that uncovers a shocking tale of deceit, greed and relentless pursuit. Cordell realises that he has become a pawn in other people's games.

How can one forget culture and heritage?
One can forget culture and heritage by not actively engaging with it, by being disconnected from one's roots and community, and by prioritizing other aspects of life over preserving and celebrating one's cultural identity. This can happen through assimilation into a different culture, lack of exposure to one's own cultural traditions and practices, and a lack of interest in learning about one's heritage. Additionally, societal pressures and discrimination can also contribute to the erasure of one's culture and heritage.

Which material absorbs heat without storing heat?
A material that absorbs heat without storing it is one that has a high thermal conductivity and low heat capacity. This means that it can quickly absorb heat and transfer it away without retaining much of the heat energy. Examples of such materials include metals like aluminum and copper, as well as certain types of ceramics and carbon-based materials. These materials are often used in applications where rapid heat absorption and dissipation are required, such as in heat sinks for electronic devices or in cooking utensils.

What is heat conduction and heat convection?
Heat conduction is the transfer of heat through a material or between materials that are in direct contact with each other. It occurs through the vibration and collision of atoms and molecules, leading to the transfer of thermal energy. On the other hand, heat convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids, such as air or water. This occurs as warmer, less dense fluid rises and cooler, denser fluid sinks, creating a continuous circulation of heat transfer. Both heat conduction and heat convection are important mechanisms for the transfer of heat in various natural and engineered systems.

How much heat does a heat radiator produce?
The amount of heat produced by a heat radiator depends on its size, design, and the temperature of the water or steam flowing through it. Generally, a heat radiator can produce enough heat to warm up a room or a specific area within a building. The heat output is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs) or watts, and can vary depending on the specific model and its intended use. It's important to consider the heat output of a radiator when selecting the right one for a particular space.

Heat Conduction
Many phenomena in social, natural and engineering fields are governed by wave, potential, parabolic heat-conduction, hyperbolic heat-conduction and dual-phase-lagging heat-conduction equations. This monograph examines these equations: their solution structures, methods of finding their solutions under various supplementary conditions, as well as the physical implication and applications of their solutions.

Are there ovens that heat using heat pumps?
Yes, there are ovens that use heat pumps to heat food. These ovens are known as heat pump ovens and they work by using a heat pump system to transfer heat from the surrounding air into the oven cavity. This allows them to be more energy efficient compared to traditional ovens, as they do not rely solely on electrical resistance heating. Heat pump ovens are becoming increasingly popular as people look for more sustainable and energy-efficient cooking options.

What is heat transfer in a heat exchanger?
Heat transfer in a heat exchanger is the process of exchanging thermal energy between two fluids at different temperatures. This transfer occurs through conduction, convection, or radiation, depending on the design of the heat exchanger. The goal of heat transfer in a heat exchanger is to efficiently and effectively transfer heat from one fluid to another, either to heat or cool the fluids involved. This process is essential in various industrial and commercial applications, such as HVAC systems, refrigeration, and power generation.
-
Why is dry heat more tolerable than humid heat?
Dry heat is generally more tolerable than humid heat because our bodies rely on the evaporation of sweat to cool down. In dry heat, sweat evaporates quickly, allowing our bodies to cool efficiently. However, in humid heat, the air is already saturated with moisture, making it harder for sweat to evaporate. This can lead to a feeling of stickiness and discomfort, as our bodies struggle to regulate temperature effectively.
-
Can the heat exchanger in heat pumps be heated?
Yes, the heat exchanger in heat pumps can be heated. The heat exchanger is a key component in the heat pump system that transfers heat from one fluid to another. In the heating mode, the heat pump absorbs heat from the outside air, ground, or water and transfers it to the heat exchanger, which then heats the air or water that is circulated through the building. Therefore, the heat exchanger is designed to be heated in order to facilitate the transfer of heat within the heat pump system.
