If I have an object of air resistance X propelled with constant speed V through a gas of ambient temperature T and pressure V, it will be heated by friction and cooled by convection. Can the equilibrium temperature of the object be calculated?

For whatever reason I want to turn the chemical energy in (cooked) food into electrical power. What's the most efficient way to do this? (fermentation and burning the methane? feeding it to people on bicycle generators? something else/a combination?)

How come the yellow edges of a flame are so clearly defined? I understand that the yellow color is actually just the glow of heated carbon, but shouldn't that cause it to gradually taper off through dark red first?
