gauge v. absolute Explanation: I think they are using gauge here in its gauge v. absolute sense. Gauge is relative to the background whereas absolute is relative to zero. For example, the air pressure on a standard day is zero gauge and 1 bar absolute. In this case, they are measuring/modelling the heat flow from the fire and ignoring any other heat flow that might be going on. |
