21Thermal conductivity detector — The thermal conductivity detector (TCD) is a bulk property detector and a chemical specific detector commonly used in gas liquid chromatography. [Grob, Robert L. Ed.; Modern Practice of Gas Chromatography , John Wiley Sons, C1977, pg. 228, ] This …
22Thermal conductivity — In physics, thermal conductivity, k, is the property of a material that indicates its ability to conduct heat. It appears primarily in Fourier s Law for heat conduction.First, we define heat conduction by the formula::: H=frac{Delta Q}{Delta t}=k …
23Flow chemistry — In flow chemistry, a chemical reaction is run in a continuously flowing stream rather than in batch production. In other words, pumps move fluid into a tube, and where tubes join one another, the fluids contact one another. If these fluids are… …
24Thermal 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… …
25Thermal power station — Republika Power Plant, a thermal power station in Pernik, Bulgaria …
26Thermal energy storage — District heating accumulation tower from Theiss near Krems an der Donau in Lower Austria with a thermal capacity of 2 GWh Thermal energy storage comprises a number of technologies that store thermal energy in energy storage reservoirs for later… …
27Thermal diode — The term thermal diode is sometimes used to describe a (possibly non electrical) device which causes heat to flow preferentially in one direction. Or, the term may be used to describe an electrical (semiconductor) diode in reference to a thermal… …
28thermal conduction — Transfer of heat energy resulting from differences in temperature between adjacent bodies or adjacent parts of a body. In the absence of a heat pump, the energy will flow from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature. The… …
29thermal ohm — an informal name for the SI unit of thermal resistance, kelvins per watt (K/W) or degrees Celsius per watt (°C/W). The thermal resistance of an insulating material, in thermal ohms, is the R value (in SI units, equal to 0.1442 times the R… …
