27 Heat Transfer Summary terms

This glossary contains the words of book Heat Transfer to get get familiar on this class

boundary
noun
a line that marks the limits of an area; a dividing line.
Example: The propensity for the air around the plant to be warmer during the night in the open situation (ibid), due to transfer of energy from the greater atmosphere also means that plant and BOUNDARY air layer temperatures would have probably been lower in the sheltered crop when measurements commenced at 0800.
es: Perímetro
boundary
closed system
adjective
A closed system is a physical system that does not allow transfer of matter in or out of the system, though, in different contexts, such as physics, chemistry or engineering, the transfer of energy is or is not allowed.
Example: This method requires different elements for dating than radio carbon dating which has meant it is useful with a different type of material; the substances tested are carbonates, phosphates, some silicate phases such as clinopyroxe and volcanic glass, and water (Calsteren, 2006) As with Radio carbon dating the Uranium series requires a CLOSED SYSTEM in which no radio active isotopes could join or be removed from.
es: sistema cerrado
closed system
Conduction
noun
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.
Example: Heat transfer through solid objects is through CONDUCTION. Heat transfer from a solid to air is by CONDUCTION and partial convection.
es: Conducción
Conduction
consist of
phrase
be composed or made up of.
Example: Finally the area underlying the inner kinetochore plate is thought to CONSIST OF a heterochromatin region.
es: consiste en
consist of
Convection
noun
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.
Example: Heat transfer in canned foods Thin liquid products which heat extremely rapidly due to internal CONVECTION.
es: Convección
Convection
Deal with
phrase
When you deal with something or someone that needs attention, you give your attention to them, and often solve a problem or make a decision
Example: Implementation Objective 4: Within 9 months 100% of insurance sector employees will be trained to DEAL WITH all five policies (except Life).
es: Tratar con
Deal with
dryer
noun
a machine or device for drying something, especially the hair or laundry
Example: In sunny day the air tended to be warmer and DRYER, and substantial amount of energy from the air was transferred to the crops and taken up
es: secadora
dryer
energy
noun
the strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity.
Example: Lupin silage is of higher ENERGY and quality than grass silage, saving the grower cost of additives.
es: energía
energy
engineer
noun
design and build (a machine or structure).
Example: It is especially important to get a patent for an ergonomic keyboard as it is fairly easy to reverse ENGINEER due to the relatively low amount of technology involved.
es: ingeniera
engineer
Fixed mass
conjunction
The mass of a fixed volume of gas is fixed at any temperature and pressure.
Example: With recent developments in radiocarbon dating, such as the use of AMS (Accelerator MASS Spectrometry) to detect carbon 14 atoms (Bowman, S. 1990. p34), the technique has been put to use in a number of high profile archaeological investigations.
es: Masa fija
Fixed mass
Heat Transfer
conjunction
heat transfer describes the flow of heat (thermal energy) due to temperature differences and the subsequent temperature distribution and changes.
Example: This is achieved by either HEAT TRANSFER from the outgoing product after initial cooling, by the recovery of heat from the water vapour liberated by the flash cooling, or by using the condenser cooling water on exit from the condenser, when it has been heated.
es: Transferencia de calor
Heat transfer
inner surface
phrase
the environment beneath the surface of the sea.
Example: Upon the INNER SURFACE of the envelope, Matrix protein or M1 coats the entire surface, stabilising the particle structure.
es: superficie interna
inner surface
Internal energy
conjunction
The internal energy of a thermodynamic system is the energy contained within it. It is the energy necessary to create or prepare the system in any given internal state.
Example: As expected the rate constant increased with temperature due to the more INTERNAL ENERGY in the system, making it a lot easier to cross energetic barrier from reactants to products.
es: Energía interna
Internal energy
mass
noun
a coherent, typically large body of matter with no definite shape.
Example: One in three of the world's apes, monkeys, lemurs, and other primates are endangered (National Geographic, 2002 - Conservation International (CI) and IUCN, 2000) and there are suggestions that we are currently experiencing the sixth MASS extinction in history (Leakey and Lewin, 1995).
es: masa
mass
mass transfer
conjunction
Mass transfer describes the transport of mass from one point to another and is one of the main pillars in the subject of Transport Phenomena.
Example: Issues can arise with agitation, heat or MASS TRANSFER and isolation when scaled larger, which are all key to manufacture.
es: transferencia de masa
Mass transfer
Mechanisms
noun
a system of parts working together in a machine; a piece of machinery.
Example: A variety of evolutionary MECHANISMS and forces have been classified by geneticists that affect the frequency of alternative genotypes in populations from one generation to the next.
es: Mecanismos
Mechanisms
microwave
noun
an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength in the range 0.001–0.3 m, shorter than that of a normal radio wave but longer than those of infrared radiation. Microwaves are used in radar, in communications, and for heating in microwave ovens and in various industrial processes.
Example: First I had to modernize it: the candle became electricity and light, the fire became a heater and a MICROWAVE, and the table's material became plastic.
es: microondas
microwave
open system
conjunction
a system in which the components and protocols conform to standards independent of a particular supplier.
Example: Realism solves this problem as it recognises that society is an OPEN SYSTEM in which events are influenced by other contingencies, so the causal influence of emergent properties is not to consistently produce observable effects
es: sistema abierto
open system
outer surface
conjunction
the outside part or uppermost layer of something.
Example: The Biochemistry Of PhotosynthesisLight- Dependent Reaction (Fig 3): In both C 3 and C 4 plants, the chlorophyll molecules are arranged in the membranes of the thylakoids so that the haem group projects from the OUTER SURFACE.
es: Superficie exterior
outer surface
Radiation
noun
Radiation is the process of sending off energy in the form of light, heat, x-rays or nuclear particles.
Example: Other method such as UV RADIATION and heating to 60°C can be used to kill L. pneumophila within both biofilms and amoebae, but in practice the costs involved with treating such large volumes of water in this way make these treatments impractical
es: Radiación
Radiation
science

temperature
noun
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.
Example: Where rainfall is adequately supplied, longer cultivation is possible in Sri Lanka since the TEMPERATURE, being constant, is not the limiting factor for agricultural practice in this country.
es: temperatura
temperature
Total energy
conjunction
The total energy of a system is the sum of kinetic and gravitational potential energy, and this total energy is conserved in orbital motion
Example: Being that Protein counts for 10 15% of TOTAL ENERGY, determining the protein composition in foods is important so that one can use the recommended intake for a group of individuals and help provide a rich source of protein from different foods.
es: Energía total
