1Heat transfer — is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the exchange of thermal energy from one physical system to another. Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms, such as heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation, and phase change …
2Heat conduction — or thermal conduction is the spontaneous transfer of thermal energy through matter, from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature, and acts to equalize temperature differences. It is also described as heat energy… …
3heat — [hēt] n. [ME hete < OE hætu < base of hat (see HOT), akin to Ger heiss < IE base * kai , heat] 1. the quality of being hot; hotness: in physics, heat is considered a form of energy existing as the result of the random motion of molecules …
4Contact explosive — generally refers to any substance that will explode when relatively small quantities of energy are applied to the substance, whether that be heat, light, sound, or physical pressure and even Alpha radiation. Examples include: Compound Sensitivity …

8Heat sink — A heat sink (or heatsink) is an environment or object that absorbs and dissipates heat from another object using thermal contact (either direct or radiant). Heat sinks are used in a wide range of applications wherever efficient heat dissipation… …
9Heat — In physics, heat, symbolized by Q , is energy transferred from one body or system to another due to a difference in temperature. [cite book|author= Daintith, John |title=Oxford Dictionary of Physics|publisher=Oxford University… …
10Heat flux sensor — A heat flux sensor is a commonly used name for a transducer generating a signal that is proportional to the local heat flux. This heat flux can have different origins; in principle convective , radiative as well as conductive heat can be measured …
