 This equation has proved to be consistently effective in physics and technology. Such different things like heat transfer in stars, in semi-conductor devices, brake pads and many others can be calculated in good correlation with measurements. This equation also applies in building physics – and the calculations made using it correspond just as well with building physical measurements as shown in [[planning:thermal_protection:thermal_protection_works:Thermal protection vs. thermal storage#Theory and practice (measurement)|the following example]]. This equation has proved to be consistently effective in physics and technology.
