in this glossary we will see concepts related to the explanation of practice 1
constant heat
noun
refers to the fact that a body maintains a constant temperature
Example: the water has been kept at a constant heat
es: calor constante
heat sink
noun
a device or substance for absorbing excessive or unwanted heat.
Example: A heat sink is a thermal conductive metal device designed to absorb and disperse heat away from a high temperature object such as a computer
es: disipador de calor
magnitudes transitioning
noun
the magnitudes in transition are all those that are having a change to change state or something similar
Example: the water temperature values are in transition
es: magnitudes en transición
surrounding air
noun
air surrounding someone or something
Example: today there is a lot of surrounding air around the house
es: aire circundante
thermal analysis
noun
Thermal analysis is a general term defining a technique used to analyze the time and temperature at which physical changes occur when a substance is heated or cooled
Example: Simultaneous THERMAL ANALYSIS (STA) was performed on samples x =30 to x =40 to determine their glass transition temperature (T g ) which reduces their compositional uncertainty.
es: análisis térmico
thermal stress
noun
thermal stress is mechanical stress created by any change in temperature of a material. These stresses can lead to fracturing or plastic deformation depending on the other variables of heating, which include material types and constraints.
Example: this localized movement of material causes thermal stresses.
