coefficient of heat conduction
101Glass transition — The liquid glass transition (or glass transition for short) is the reversible transition in amorphous materials (or in amorphous regions within semicrystalline materials) from a hard and relatively brittle state into a molten or rubber like state …
102Electrochemistry — is a branch of chemistry that studies chemical reactions which take place in a solution at the interface of an electron conductor (a metal or a semiconductor) and an ionic conductor (the electrolyte), and which involve electron transfer between… …
103Calorimeter — This article is about heat measuring devices. For particle detectors, see Calorimeter (particle physics). The world’s first ice calorimeter, used in the winter of 1782 83, by Antoine Lavoisier and Pierre Simon Laplace, to determine the heat… …
104Fermi–Dirac statistics — Statistical mechanics Thermodynamics · …
105HVAC — may also stand for High voltage alternating current. See also: Glossary of HVAC HVAC systems use ventilation air ducts installed throughout a building that supply conditioned air to a room through rectangular or round outlet vents, called… …
106Timeline of thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and random processes — A timeline of events related to thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and random processes. Ancient times *c. 3000 BC The ancients viewed heat as that related to fire. The ancient Egyptians viewed heat as related to origin mythologies. One… …
107Electrical conductor — Overhead conductors carry electric power from generating stations to customers. In physics and electrical engineering, a conductor is a material which contains movable electric charges. In metallic conductors such as copper or aluminum, the… …
108Continuous reactor — Continuous reactors (alternatively referred to as flow reactors) carry material as a flowing stream. Reactants are continuously fed into the reactor and emerge as continuous stream of product. Continuous reactors are used for a wide variety of… …
109Pyroelectricity — is the ability of certain materials to generate an electrical potential when they are heated or cooled. As a result of this change in temperature, positive and negative charges move to opposite ends through migration (i.e., the material becomes… …
110Diffusion equation — The diffusion equation is a partial differential equation which describes density fluctuations in a material undergoing diffusion. It is also used to describe processes exhibiting diffusive like behaviour, for instance the diffusion of alleles in …
