hazy on this one
I did not have a firm grip on this concept before and I am still a bit hazy.
Is my understanding correct when I say that as the gas is heated and becomes
less dense the force of gravity relative to the mass of heated gas and the
earth is less than the force of gravity relative to the mass of cooler gas
and the earth. As a result the cooler, denser gas is "drawn" downward
thereby displacing the hotter gas in the stack. Is it advantageuos to look
at this an extrusion of sorts or am I getting it wrong?
