thermal gap
1Gap fillers — are an element of the Thermal Protection System on the Space Shuttle. The TPS is comprised, in part, by tiles that deflect the heat generated by re entry away from the spacecraft. There are doors and moving surfaces in areas that must be… …
2Thermal insulation — The term thermal insulation can refer to materials used to reduce the rate of heat transfer, or the methods and processes used to reduce heat transfer.Heat energy can be transferred by conduction, convection, radiation or when undergoing a phase… …
3Thermal power station — Republika Power Plant, a thermal power station in Pernik, Bulgaria …
4Thermal interface material — A Thermal Interface Material or Mastic (aka TIM) is used to fill the gaps between thermal transfer surfaces, such as between microprocessors and heatsinks, in order to increase thermal transfer efficiency. These gaps are normally filled with air… …
5Band gap — This article is about solid state physics. For voltage control circuitry in electronics, see Bandgap voltage reference. In solid state physics, a band gap, also called an energy gap or bandgap, is an energy range in a solid where no electron… …
6Space Shuttle thermal protection system — The Space Shuttle thermal protection system (TPS) is the barrier that protects the Space Shuttle Orbiter during the searing 1650 °C (3000 °F) heat of atmospheric reentry. A secondary goal is to protect from the heat and cold of space while on… …
7Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum — The Paleocene/Eocene boundary, Ma|eocene, was marked by the most rapid and significant climatic disturbance of the Cenozoic Era. A sudden global warming event, leading to the Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM, alternatively nowrap| Eocene… …
8Solar thermal energy — Solar thermal system for water heating in Santorini, Greece …
9Coulomb gap — First introduced by M. Pollak [1], the Coulomb gap is a soft gap in the Single Particle Density of States (DOS) of a system of interacting localized electrons. Due to the long range Coulomb interactions, the single particle DOS vanishes at the… …
10Metal-induced gap states — In bulk semiconductor band structure calculations, it is assumed that the crystal lattice (which features a periodic potential due to the atomic structure) of the material is infinite. When the finite size of a crystal is taken into account, the… …
