15 Reading Comprehension-Heat Transfer Summary terms
this glossary is made for understand better the key words of heat-transfer
closed system
noun
A closed system is a physical system that does not allow transfer of matter in or out of the system, though
Example: a balloon is closed system

Convection
Noun
He 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: when the water boils there is heat convection
es: Convección

Mass transfer is the net movement of mass from one location
Example: mass transfer occurs in many processes, such as absorption, evaporation, drying, precipitation, membrane filtration, and distillation.
es: Transferencia de masa
