Within the context of a solar collector, convection and radiation are the most important sources of heat loss.

Thermal insulation is used to slow down heat loss from a hot object to its environment.

Mantle convection is the slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior of the Earth to the surface.

Heat storage on the Earth's surface causes thermal lag.

A convection heat storage unit (CHS) system is similar to an ICS system, except the storage tank and collector are physically separated and transfer between the two is driven by convection.

) A single shallow convection cycle takes on the order of 50 million years, though deeper convection can be closer to 200 million years.

Conduction is the most significant means of heat transfer within a solid or between solid objects in thermal contact.

The occurrence of convection in the outer envelope of a main sequence star depends on the mass.

Conduction, convection, and radiation all occur more rapidly over large thermal gradients.

Thermal pollution is the degradation of water quality by any process that changes ambient water temperature.

This is the body's way of preserving its own heat by causing the hairs on the skin to stand up, thus reducing heat loss.

A heat engine can never have perfect efficiency, according to the second law of thermodynamics, therefore a heat engine will always produce a surplus of low temperature heat.

The existence of a corona appears to be dependent on a convective zone in the outer layers of the star.

Thermotropism or thermotropic movement is the movement of a plant or plant part in response to changes in temperature.

During the colder fall season, heat is lost at the surface and the epilimnion cools.

And so as we look this difficult world with the loss of the environment and global warming and the depredations in the oceans,

In the engineering sciences, heat transfer includes the processes of thermal radiation, convection, and sometimes mass transfer.

This reuse of heat reduces the amount thermal pollution discharged to a nearby fjord.

The convection between the relatively warm water and cold air in the winter plays an important role in the Arctic climate.

Or actually, I guess, even photons from the heat lamp that you might have in your greenhouse.

Applications Values of the Biot number smaller than 0.1 imply that the heat conduction inside the body is much faster than the heat convection away from its surface, and temperature gradients are negligible inside of it.

ICS or batch collectors reduce heat loss by placing the water tank in a thermally insulated box.

Using a box does not eliminate heat loss from the tank to the environment, but it largely reduces this loss.

So you get the change in enthalpy minus the temperature times delta S of the system is less than zero.

Air Glazed systems have a transparent top sheet and insulated side and back panels to minimize heat loss to ambient air.

This second skin will be sealed in winter to minimise heat loss, and opened in the summer to naturally cool the interior.

For most stars the convective zones will also vary over time as the star ages and the constitution of the interior is modified.

After being heated in the panels, the HTF travels to the heat exchanger, where its heat is transferred to the potable water.

I'm taking the temperature of the canal outside, pumping it through the heat exchange mechanism, it's turning through these amazing sails on the roof, and that, in turn, is falling softly onto the people in the restaurant, cooling them, or heating them, as the need may be.

Red dwarf stars with less than 0.4 are convective throughout, which prevents the accumulation of a helium core.

Its structural and thermal stability (i.e., it does not decompose at high temperatures) allows its use under a wide range of reaction conditions.

A superinsulated house takes longer to cool in the event of an extended power failure during cold weather, for example after a severe ice storm disrupts electric transmission because heat loss is much less than normal buildings, but the thermal storage capacity of the structural materials and contents is the same.

Atmospheric greenhouse gases allow sunlight to pass through but absorb heat and radiate some down to the earth s surface.

Losing that ice is like losing the soil in a garden.

Most of the world s urban areas have already experienced far more dramatic temperature hikes over the past few decades than the 2.6 C increase expected from global warming over the next hundred years.

Consider the newest global warming exaggeration an article from Newsweek shrilly claiming that rising temperatures are heralding The End of Pasta.

Yet considerable uncertainty remains about the magnitude of the impact of rising levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases on temperatures and climate.

And there's the sheep.
