121Flux — This article is about the concept of flux in science and mathematics. For other uses of the word, see Flux (disambiguation). In the various subfields of physics, there exist two common usages of the term flux, both with rigorous mathematical… …
122Thermal insulation — The term thermal insulation can refer to materials used to reduce the rate of heat transfer, or the methods and processes used to reduce heat transfer.Heat energy can be transferred by conduction, convection, radiation or when undergoing a phase… …
123Common envelope — The red giant (red, left) fills its Roche lobe (dashed green line) and begins transferring mass to the main sequence star (yellow, right). As the mass transfer accelerates, the core of the massive star (gray) and the main sequence star become… …

125Thermodynamic system — A thermodynamic system is a precisely defined macroscopic region of the universe, often called a physical system, that is studied using the principles of thermodynamics. All space in the universe outside the thermodynamic system is known as the… …
126Deformation mechanism — In structural geology, metallurgy and materials science, deformation mechanisms refer to the various mechanisms at the grain scale that are responsible for accommodating large plastic strains in rocks, metals and other materials. Contents 1… …
127Lumped capacitance model — A lumped capacitance model, also called lumped system analysis,[1] reduces a thermal system to a number of discrete “lumps” and assumes that the temperature difference inside each lump is negligible. This approximation is useful to simplify… …
