However, I won't abandon the greenhouse effect description since it does
seem to help students grasp the global greenhouse effect.
This is one of
the few topics that I can ask the question "EXPLAIN--" and NOT get
gibberish back from half the class. It seems to me to be sufficient to
present the 'standard' explanation and then add that this effect is
_greatly_ enhanced in real greenhouses and cars by the lack of convenction
cooling. That's not a LIE --IMO.
I'm not ready to give up Bernoulli on airfoils yet either. Again,
calculations give reasonable numbers, and I really haven't heard or seen a
description that negates Bernoulli as a _major_ factor in LOW SPEED
airfoils--again such as those used with human-powered craft.
I'll TRY to refrain from any more comments on these threads. <ggggg>
