thermal energy transfer

average amount of kenetic energy also temp. and heat

the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, especially as expressed according to a comparative scale and shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch.

The flow of thermal energy depending on the nature of the matter, the size of the sample, and the temperature of the environment

of or denoting a scale of temperature on which water freezes at 32° and boils at 212° under standard conditions.

of or denoting a scale of temperature on which water freezes at 0° and boils at 100° under standard conditions.

the SI base unit of thermodynamic temperature, equal in magnitude to the degree Celsius.

the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.

the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.

the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles which cause ionization.

firm and stable in shape; not liquid or fluid.

a substance that flows freely but is of constant volume, having a consistency like that of water or oil

a substance or matter in a state in which it will expand freely to fill the whole of a container, having no fixed shape (unlike a solid) and no fixed volume (unlike a liquid).

In physics and electrical engineering, a conductor is an object or type of material that allows the flow of charge in one or more directions.

a substance which does not readily allow the passage of heat or sound.

a principle stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can be altered from one form to another.

n physics, a state of matter is one of the distinct forms in which matter can exist.
