thermal medium
1Thermal shock — is the name given to cracking as a result of rapid temperature change. Glass and ceramic objects are particularly vulnerable to this form of failure, due to their low toughness, low thermal conductivity, and high thermal expansion coefficients.… …
2Thermal desorption — is an environmental remediation technology that utilizes heat to increase the volatility of contaminants such that they can be removed (separated) from the solid matrix (typically soil, sludge or filter cake). ExplanationThermal desorption is not …
3Thermal depolymerization — (TDP) is a process using hydrous pyrolysis for the reduction of complex organic materials (usually waste products of various sorts, often known as biomass and plastic) into light crude oil. It mimics the natural geological processes thought to be …
4Thermal blooming — is an atmospheric effect, seen in high energy laser beams. It is the result of the nonlinear interaction of laser radiation with the propagation medium, usually air, which is heated by the absorption of a fraction of the radiation. The amount of… …
5Thermal 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… …
6Thermal conduction — In heat transfer, conduction (or heat conduction) is a mode of transfer of energy within and between bodies of matter, due to a temperature gradient. Conduction means collisional and diffusive transfer of kinetic energy of particles of ponderable …
7thermal radiation — Thermodynam. electromagnetic radiation emitted by all matter above a temperature of absolute zero because of the thermal motion of atomic particles. [1930 35] * * * Process by which energy is emitted by a warm surface. The energy is… …
8Thermal 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 …
9Thermal grease — From left to right: Arctic Cooling MX 2 and MX 3, Tuniq TX 3, Cool Laboratory Liquid Metal Pro( Liquid Metal based), Shin Etsu MicroSi G751, Arctic Silver 5, Powdered Diamond. In background Arctic Silver grease remover …
10Thermal management of high power LED — With the coming of energy saving era, high power light emitting diodes (LEDs) are promising to replace other technologies such as incandescent and fluorescent bulbs in signaling, solid state lighting, and vehicle headlight applications due to… …
