heat loss coefficient
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 exchanger — An interchangeable plate heat exchanger Tubular heat exchan …
3Heat capacity — Thermodynamics …
4Heat — 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… …
5Loss of coolant accident — A loss of coolant accident (LOCA) is a mode of failure for a nuclear reactor; if not managed effectively, the results of a LOCA could result in reactor core damage. Each nuclear plant s Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) exists specifically to… …
6Convective heat transfer — See also: Heat transfer and convection This figure shows a calculation for thermal convection. Colors closer to red are hot areas and colors closer to blue are cold areas. In this figure, a hot, less dense lower boundary layer sends plumes… …
7Specific heat capacity — Specific heat capacity, also known simply as specific heat, is the measure of the heat energy required to increase the temperature of a unit quantity of a substance by a certain temperature interval. The term originated primarily through the work …
8Regenerative heat exchanger — A regenerative heat exchanger, or more commonly a regenerator, is a type of heat exchanger where the flow through the heat exchanger is cyclical and periodically changes direction. It is similar to a countercurrent heat exchanger. However, a… …
9accommodation coefficient — noun : the efficiency of a gas in removing heat from a surface expressed as the ratio of the actual heat loss from the surface to the ideal loss …
10Void coefficient — In nuclear engineering, the void coefficient (more properly called void coefficient of reactivity ) is a number that can be used to estimate how much the reactivity of a nuclear reactor changes as voids (steam bubbles) form in the reactor… …
