Thermal dose unit

A Thermal dose unit (TDU) is a unit of measurement used in the oil and gas industry to measure exposure to thermal radiation. It is a function of intensity (power per unit area) and exposure time.[1]

1 TDU = 1 (kW/m2)4/3s.

Results of exposure

Level of Exposure Result
Mean Range
92 86-103 Pain
105 80-130 Threshold First Degree Burn
290 240-350 Threshold Second Degree Burn
1000 870-2600 Threshold Third Degree Burn
gollark: Maybe just say "the old host has left and is running the event elsewhere".
gollark: That seems to be deliberately vaguely misleading and not mention that it exists elsewhere.
gollark: Everyone knows that the best way to sort things is SIMD-based bubblesort then 32-way merges.
gollark: My submission would have been very cool if it were actually entered in this round, which it wasn't due to bee.
gollark: I see.
