heat-transfer body
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 transfer — [1] The transfer of thermal energy from one material to another by means of thermal conduction, convection or radiation; heat transfer is possible only from a high to a low temperature level [2] Movement of heat from one body or substance to… …
3heat transfer — /ˈhit trænsfɜ/ (say heet transfer) noun the passage of thermal energy from a hot to a cold body so that ultimately thermal equilibrium is achieved …
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… …
5Radiative heat transfer — In radiative heat transfer, heat is transferred between bodies by electromagnetic radiation. In natural radiative heat transfer (that which happens when the electromagnetic radiation is generated naturally by heat), the spectrum of this radiation …
6Heat 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… …
7Heat — 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… …
8heat — heatable, adj. heatful, adj. heatless, adj. heatlike, adj. /heet/, n. 1. the state of a body perceived as having or generating a relatively high degree of warmth. 2. the condition or quality of being hot: the heat of an oven. 3. the degree of… …
