Don Bryant Hargis is an American engineer and independent researcher based in Azle, Texas, whose interests span nonequilibrium thermodynamics, quantum mechanics and the thermophysical properties of materials. He is the owner of Red Wave Technologies, an infrared thermography and inspection firm, and has been associated with the International Institute of Science and the Society of Professional Engineers.
Biography
Hargis resides in Azle, Texas, where he operates Red Wave Technologies, a company providing infrared thermography and inspection services. He has been affiliated with the Université Suisse Privée St Cléments (St Clements University) in Lausanne, Switzerland, as well as with the International Institute of Science.
Work
Hargis's research concerns the thermophysical behaviour of materials and the framework of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. He has investigated whether a mathematical relationship exists between heat-transfer quantities such as thermal conductivity and emissive power, posing the question publicly in 2013 and drawing responses from other researchers. His professional work in infrared thermography, which measures the radiative and emissive characteristics of surfaces, is closely connected to these theoretical interests. He also lists quantum mechanics and the modelling designated DTMSI among his areas of study.
