  9. *: Notes:
  10. *::Convection cell is a general term for any cyclic motion caused by convection
  11. *::A Bernard cell is a particular case of this when Rayleigh-Bernard convection is occurring (heating from bottom of two || plates)
  12. *::Ref cites much confusion over the naming of related phenomena due to the combination of free convection and surface tension effects, discovered by different people

  27. {{ checked}} Refactor thermo navbar to put all the system stuff together (state, processes, cycles) and the system properties together (state and process functions). This will highlight the relationship of the topics better and probably condense the navbar a bit.
