thermal-conductivity equation
1Thermal 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 …
2Thermal history modelling — is an exercise undertaken during basin modelling to evaluate the temperature history of stratigraphic layers in a sedimentary basin.The thermal history of a basin is usually calibrated using thermal indicator data, including vitrinite reflectance …
3Thermal radiation — is electromagnetic radiation emitted from the surface of an object which is due to the object s temperature. Infrared radiation from a common household radiator or electric heater is an example of thermal radiation, as is the light emitted by a… …
4Thermal 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 …
5Thermal diffusivity — In heat transfer analysis, thermal diffusivity (symbol: alpha,, but note that the symbols kappa, D, and k are all commonly used) is the ratio of thermal conductivity to volumetric heat capacity. It has SI of m²/s.:alpha = {k over { ho c pwhere: * …
6Thermal effusivity — In Thermodynamics, the thermal effusivity of a material is defined as the square root of the product of the material s thermal conductivity and its volumetric heat capacity. [http://www.evitherm.org/default.asp?ID=277] :e = {(k ho c p)}^{1/2}Here …
7Thermal 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… …
8Thermal copper pillar bump — The Thermal Copper Pillar Bump, also known as the thermal bump , is a thermoelectric device made from thin film thermoelectric material embedded in flip chip interconnects (in particular copper pillar solder bumps) for use in electronics and… …
9Constitutive equation — Many defining equations are in the form of a constitutive equation, since parameters of a property or effect associated matter are characteristic to the substance in question. A large number of other defining equations not specifically… …
10Classical and quantum conductivity — Classical and quantum mechanical views of conductivity have both described the movements of electrons in a metallic solid. The free electron gas that is present in metallic solids is the reason for an important property of all metals:… …
