closed system
noun
A system of fixed mass
Example: That is; the entropy or the disorder of a CLOSED SYSTEM must always increase.
es: Sistema abierto
Conduction
noun
is the transfer of energyfrom the more energetic particles of a substance to the adjacentless energetic ones as a result of interactions between the particles,
Example: Heat transfer through solid objects is through CONDUCTION.Heat transfer from a solid to air is by CONDUCTION and partial convection.
es: Conducción
Consist of
Preposition
to have (something) as an essential or main part
Example: Sherwin-White, however, points out that Pliny's letters are different from those which are written with no thought of publication and merely CONSIST OF a mixture of ideas, advices, emotions and reports.
es: Consiste en
convection
noun
is the mode of heat transfer between a solid surface and the adjacent liquid or gas that is in motion, and involves the combined effects of conduction and fluid motion.
Example: In retort containers, after the heat passes through the container via conduction, it can heat the food by conduction or CONVECTION.
es: convección
Deal with
verb
To do something in order to achieve something or in order to solve a problem.
Example: They must also be able to DEAL WITH any problems and resolve them, whether this be staffing issues or unexpected supply or sale issues.
es: Tratar con
Fixed mass
noun
Its particles are
linked together, they cannot
scroll and only vibrate in
their fixed positions.
Example: On palpation a small FIXED MASS was detected, approximately 1.5cm in size.
es: Masa fija
Heat transfer
noun
a system undergoes a process from
one equilibrium state to another, whereas the science of heat
transfer deals with the rate of heat transfer, which is the main
quantity of interest in the design and evaluation of heat transfer
equipment.
Example: optimization technique. The relationship between HEAT+TRANSFER and Reynolds number needs to be more
es: Transferencia de calor
inner surface
noun
internal part of a body that separates it from its environment
Example: Upon the INNER SURFACE of the envelope, Matrix protein or M1 coats the entire surface, stabilising the particle structure.
es: Superficie interior
Internal energy
noun
represents the molecular energy of a system, and it consists of sensible, latent, chemical, and nuclear forms.
Example: This means the system does work on its surroundings, and the change in INTERNAL ENERGY (U) is equal to the heat added (Q) plus the work done (W).
es: Energia interna
Mass transfer
noun
is the net movement of mass from one location, usually meaning stream, phase, fraction or component, to another. Mass transfer occurs in many processes, such as absorption, evaporation, drying, precipitation, membrane filtration, and distillation.
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
Open system
noun
a system that involves mass transfer across its boundaries
Example: An open system is a system that has external interactions. Such interactions can take the form of information, energy, or material transfers into or out of ...
es: Sistema abierto
Outer surface
noun
external part of a body that separates it from its environment
Example: In both and 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
Radiation
noun
is the energy emitted by matter in the form of electromagnetic waves (or photons) as a result of the changes in the electronic configurations of the atoms or molecules.
Example: Monteith (1973) and many others have highlighted the agronomic importance of this relationship and the cumulative amount of solar RADIATION is often a good indicator of yield.
es: Radiación
Total energy
noun
The sum of all forms of energy of a system.
Example: Theorem Bernoulli's theorem follows the law of conservation of energy and states that the TOTAL ENERGY in a fluid is a constant, neglecting any losses in transmission.
es: Energía total
Undergo
Verb
It is often used to describe medical procedures, such as, an injured quarterback who will undergo shoulder surgery. The word implies that it is something that has to happen so that a positive change occurs, like healing in the case of the quarterback or greater communication skills for a hot-tempered person who undergoes anger management training.
Example: The difficulty of deciphering complex allusive networks enables the reader to UNDERGO a crisis of understanding that engenders a sense of humiliation.
