This electronic glossary contains key vocabulary and concepts from reading of the book "Heat Transfer - A Practical Approach" to familiarize yourself with the terminology.
Ansys workbench
phrase
The Ansys Workbench platform is the framework upon which the industry’s broadest and deepest suite of advanced engineering simulation technology is built.
Example: Workbench graphically displays the engineering simulation attempt and the relationships between physical phenomena and their modules are established, including multi-physics.
es: banco de trabajo Ansys
Heat dissipator
phrase
It is an instrument used to lower the temperature of some electronic components, transferring the heat from the hot part that is to be dissipated into the air.
Example: In electronic devices, heat sinks are often used to avoid an increase in temperature in some components.
es: Disipador de calor
Poisson's ratio
phrase
It is an elastic constant that is obtained when creating a deformation to a product or test material, this deformation can be by traction or compression.
Example: To calculate the Poisson's ratio, it is necessary to determine the longitudinal and transverse strain.
es: Relación de Poisson
Specific heat
phrase
It is a physical quantity that is defined as the amount of heat that must be supplied to the unit mass of a substance or thermodynamic system to raise its temperature by one unit.
Example: The specific heat of wood is much higher than the specific heat of metal.
es: Calor específico
Steady state solution
Phrase
The steady state solution is the particular solution of the inhomogeneous differential equation of motion.
Example: In particular, a physical system is in a steady state when its characteristics do not vary with time.
es: Solución de estado estacionario
Young's modulus E
phrase
It is a parameter that characterizes the behavior of an elastic material, according to the direction in which a force is applied.
Example: For a linear and isotropic elastic material, Young's modulus has the same value for tension as for compression.
