heat transfer process
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 …
2Enhanced heat transfer — Heat exchangers were initially developed to use plain (or smooth) heat transfer surfaces. An Enhanced heat transfer surface has a special surface geometry that provides a higher thermal performance, per unit base surface area than a plain surface …
3heat transfer — ▪ physics any or all of several kinds of phenomena, considered as mechanisms, that convey energy and entropy from one location to another. The specific mechanisms are usually referred to as convection, thermal radiation (qq.v.), and… …
4Convective 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… …

6Transfer molding — Transfer molding, like compression molding, is a process where the amount of molding material (usually a thermoset plastic) is measured and inserted before the molding takes place. The molding material is preheated and loaded into a chamber known …

8Heat — 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 pipe — A heat pipe is a heat transfer mechanism that can transport large quantities of heat with a very small difference in temperature between the hotter and colder interfaces. Inside a heat pipe, at the hot interface a fluid turns to vapour and the… …
