The Core of the Sun enhancing her knowledge of chili peppers by extending an invitation to his farm. There, she sampled and grew an assortment of peppers. Working with chili peppers allowed Sinisalo to understand factors such as the Scoville rating which is determined by capsaicinoids. The Scoville scale measures the spiciness (heat) of the pepper. One can explore the Scoville ratings, health benefits, and growing techniques of peppers on Kilpinen's website In the Core of the Sun's Afterword, Sinisalo describes the Transcendental Capsaicinophilic Society as “ a real, though somewhat tongue-in-cheek, group that can be found on the Internet.” A quick Google search reveals
Heat flux sensor wire-wound geometry of the Schmidt-Boelter gauge can measure both perpendicular and parallel flows.In this case the sensor is mounted on a water-cooled body. Such sensors are used in fire resistance testing to put the fire to which samples are exposed to the right intensity level. There are various examples of sensors that internally use heat flux sensors examples are laser power meters, pyranometers, etc. We will discuss three large fields of application in what follows. Soil heat flux is a most important parameter in agro-meteorological studies, since it allows one to study the amount of energy stored in the soil
