thermal radiation
31Thermal conduction — In heat transfer, conduction (or heat conduction) is a mode of transfer of energy within and between bodies of matter, due to a temperature gradient. Conduction means collisional and diffusive transfer of kinetic energy of particles of ponderable …
32Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment — An (Integrated) Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment (TMG or ITMG) is the outer layer of a space suit. The TMG has three functions: to insulate the suit occupant and prevent heat loss, to shield the occupant from harmful solar radiation, and to protect …
33Thermal power station — Republika Power Plant, a thermal power station in Pernik, Bulgaria …
34Thermal Dose Unit — A Thermal Dose Unit (TDU) is a unit of measurement used in the Oil and Gas Industry to measure exposure to thermal radiation. It is a function of intensity (power per unit area) and exposure time [cite web |title=Human Vulnerability to Thermal… …
35thermal — thermally, adv. /therr meuhl/, adj. 1. Also, thermic. of, pertaining to, or caused by heat or temperature: thermal capacity. 2. of, pertaining to, or of the nature of thermae: thermal waters. 3. designed to aid in or promote the retention of body …
36radiation — 01. Some of the people who died in Hiroshima were killed by [radiation], rather than the actual bomb blast. 02. Workers at the nuclear power plant were exposed to [radiation] during the leak. 03. [Radiation] spread throughout large parts of… …
37thermal energy — The energy emitted from the fireball as thermal radiation. The total amount of thermal energy received per unit area at a specified distance from a nuclear explosion is generally expressed in terms of calories per square centimeter …
38thermal imagery — That produced by measuring and electronically recording thermal radiation from objects. Thermal imagery normally pertains to IR (infrared) wavelengths. The imagery thus shows the variation of temperatures over the field of views whose imagery is… …
39thermal exposure — The total normal component of thermal radiation striking a given surface throughout the course of a detonation; expressed in calories per square centimeter or megajoules per square meter …
40radiation — [1] The transfer of heat from one object to another when the hotter object sends out invisible rays or waves that upon striking the colder object, cause it to vibrate and thus heat. [2] The process by which energy (such as heat) is emitted by one …
