Car exhaust, thermogram
Car exhaust. Thermogram of the exhaust pipes on a motor vehicle that has recently been running. The pipes are still warm from the hot gases which result from the combustion of its fuel. The tyre is warm due to friction. A thermogram shows the variation in temperature on the surface of an object, measured by the long-wave infrared radiation it emits. The temperature scale is colour-coded and runs from blue (coldest) through green, yellow, orange, red and pink to white (warmest)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of a car's exhaust system through the lens of thermography. The image reveals the aftermath of a motor vehicle that has recently been running, as indicated by the still-warm pipes emitting hot gases resulting from fuel combustion. The vibrant colors on the temperature scale, ranging from blue to white, vividly illustrate variations in surface temperature captured by long-wave infrared radiation. The photograph not only highlights technological advancements but also sheds light on environmental concerns. It serves as a reminder of how vehicles contribute to air pollution and climate change through their emissions. The warm tire depicted in the image is a result of friction generated during transportation, emphasizing both heat and movement within this dynamic scene. Through its false-colored representation, this thermogram provides valuable insight into our atmospheric environment and its impact on our daily lives. By utilizing infrared camera technology and environmental science principles, scientists can analyze greenhouse gas emissions and calculate carbon footprints more accurately. Science Photo Library's thought-provoking capture invites viewers to contemplate the consequences of motorized transport while appreciating the beauty found within scientific imagery. This visually striking print offers an opportunity for reflection on our collective responsibility towards creating a sustainable future amidst ever-evolving technological advancements in transportation.
