this glossary is made for understand better the key words of heat-transfer
Conduction shape factor
Adjective
is the way to size the conduction from an object or more
Example: the conduction shape factor of this object is very high
es: Factor de forma de conducción
Convection resistance
Noun
is the opposition from an object to the flow convection energy
Example: this object has a resistance convection energy high
es: Resistencia a la convección
Critical Radius of insulation
Noun
that provides maximum rate of heat transfer.
Example: the critical Radius of insulation of that material is low
es: Radio crítico de aislamiento
Cylinder conduction resistance
Noun
Resistance from a cylinder to the flow of conduction energy
Example: this cylinder conduction resistance is higher than one

Efficiency
adjective
Ability to perform or adequately fulfill a function
Example: this thermoelectric is efficient

Fin effectiveness
Noun
the ratio of the actual heat transfer rate through the fin base divided by the maximum possible heat transfer rate through the fin base
Example: the fin efficiency is low
es: Eficacia de la aleta
Fin efficiency
noun
the ratio of actual heat flow of the fin to that which would be obtained with a fin of constant temperature uniformly equal to the base surface temperature
Example: the fin efficient is low
es: Eficiencia de las aletas
