conduction"Transport of energy (charge) solely as a consequence of random motions of individual molecules (ions, electrons) not moving together in coherent groups.
Conduction - The transfer of heat within a substance or from one substance to another as a result of molecular motion. Always from warm to cold areas.
Conduction: The transfer of energy from one object to another due to the random motions of molecules. Conduction of heat is a consequence of the temperature differences between two objects in physical contact.
Conduction - The transfer of sensible heat from a warm object to a cool object through contact.
conduction: transfer of energy through a body by particles or molecules within that body. Energy flows from the hotter parts to the cooler parts.
Conduction- the transfer of heat between bodies that are in contact.
Convection- the transfer of heat within a gas or liquid by their movement.
Conduction The transfer of heat by molecular activity from one substance to another, or through a substance. Transfer is always from warmer to colder regions.
Conduction - the transfer of energy by molecular motion from warmer to colder regions through a substance or between objects in direct contact, and without any net external motion ...
Conduction - The transfer of heat through matter by molecular activity. Energy is transferred during collisions among molecules.
Conduction The transfer of energy (electrical, heat) within and through a conductor by means of internal particle or molecular activity.
CONDUCTION The transfer of heat through a substance by molecular action or from one substance by being in contact with another.
conduction—The transfer of heat by molecular action through a substance or from one substance in contact with another; transfer is always from warmer to colder temperature.
Conduction
Flow of heat in response to a temperature gradient within an object or between objects that are in physical contact.
Cone of Depression ...
Conduction The transfer of heat from one substance to another by direct contact. Denser substances are better conductors; the transfer is always from warmer to colder substances.
Conduction- The transfer of heat by molecular action within a substance or when two substances are in direct contact.
Continental Air Mass- An air mass that forms over land. It is usually dry, but may be cold or warm.
Bowen RatioFor any moist surface, the ratio of heat energy used for sensible heating (conduction and convection) to the heat energy used for latent heating (evaporation of water or sublimation of snow). The Bowen ratio ranges from about 0.
sensible heat The excess radiative energy that has passed from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere through advection, conduction, and convection processes.
Convection, along with conduction and radiation, is a principal means of energy transfer.
Air has very poor thermal conductivity, and the bodies of air involved are very large, so transfer of heat by conduction is negligibly small. Thus, the process may be approximated as adiabatic (perfectly insulated). 2.
This insulation has a high resistance to the flow of heat by conduction. It is useful in heated or air-conditioned houses, to keep the heat in (or out, as the case may be). The colder the winter where you live, the more you need.
2.
A quantitative description of the energy exchange for a physical or ecological system. The budget includes terms for radiation, conduction, convection, latent heat, and for sources and sinks of energy.
Enhanced Greenhouse Effect(5) ...
POWER SUPPLY: A power supply which achieves its output regulation by means of one or more active power handling devices which are alternately placed in the "off" or "on" states. It is more efficient than linear supplies which vary the conduction of ...
the Earth's surface and adjacent air, which occurs when infrared (heat) energy radiates from the surface of the Earth upward through the atmosphere into space. Air near the surface transfers its thermal energy to the nearby ground through conduction, ...
of electromagnetic waves. 2) The process by which electromagnetic radiation is propagated through free space by virtue of joint undulatory variations in the electric and magnetic fields in space. This concept is to be distinguished from conduction ...
(Conduction-Convection-Condensation) from oceans, lakes, etc back to the atmosphere and Vis-Vis.
Hydrostatic Equilibrium: The balance between gravity force and vertical force air movement.
Hygrograph: A recording produced by a hygrometer.
Conductivity A unit measure of electrical conduction. The facility with which a substance conducts electricity, as represented by the current density per unit electrical-potential gradient in the direction of flow.
