This meant that very little heat was absorbed into the cylinder itself on each cycle, and thus more heat from the steam was made available to perform useful work.

This radiation may emanate from the target ( such as the heat of an engine or the radio waves from an enemy radar ), it may be provided by the missile itself ( such as a radar ) or it may be provided by a friendly third party ( such as the radar of the launch vehicle / platform, or a laser designator operated by friendly infantry ).

Pressure dependence of water melting pointNot only is heat required to raise the temperature of the solid to the melting point, but the melting itself requires heat called the heat of fusion.

Historically, measures taken to mitigate these hazards were concerned with protecting the vehicle itself, but due to this achieving only limited protection the focus has now shifted to safeguarding the crew within from an ever-broadening range of threats, including Radio Controlled IEDs ( RCIEDs ), blast, fragmentation, heat stress and dehydration.

It does not account for the heat loss through the container or the heat capacity of the thermometer and container itself.

This is often done by melting the workpieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material ( the weld pool ) that cools to become a strong joint, with pressure sometimes used in conjunction with heat, or by itself, to produce the weld.

The temperature achieved in the reaction in adiabatic conditions, when no heat is lost to the environment, can be estimated using the Hess's law – by calculating the energy produced by the reaction itself ( subtracting the enthalpy of the reactants from the enthalpy of the products ) and subtracting the energy consumed to heating the products ( from their specific heat, when the materials only change their temperature, and their enthalpy of fusion and eventually enthalpy of vaporization, when the materials melt or boil ).

Intense heat focused on a small spot can be used to cut through metal or weld metal components together both by melting metal from the components, and by injecting molten metal from the thermite reaction itself.

During conduction, the heat flows through the body itself, as opposed to its transfer by the bulk motion of the matter as in convection, and by thermal radiation.

Significant physical exertion on a very hot day can generate heat beyond a healthy body's ability to cool itself, because the heat and humidity of the environment reduce the efficiency of the body's normal cooling mechanisms.

To reduce heat transfer from the hot gas to this anode holder outside the regime of the arc, a carbon shield was attached to the surface providing an air gap of 1/16 inch between the plate and the surface of the anode holder.

Assuming thermal equilibrium between the anode surface and the transpiring argon, the gas enthalpy rise through the anode was calculated according to the relation Af whereby the specific heat of argon was taken as Af.

The ability to modify the hardness of steel by heat treatment had been known since 1100 BC, and the rare material was valued for use in tool and weapon making.

However, since it is capable of being greatly altered and even discharged by heat, the color was believed by some authorities to be from an organic source.

In his instrument, temperatures were indicated by the height at which a column of mercury was sustained by a certain mass of air, the volume, or " spring ", of which varied with the heat to which it was exposed.

After James Prescott Joule had determined the mechanical equivalent of heat, Lord Kelvin approached the question from an entirely different point of view, and in 1848 devised a scale of absolute temperature which was independent of the properties of any particular substance and was based solely on the fundamental laws of thermodynamics.

Drawing on all the previous work led Sadi Carnot, the " father of thermodynamics ", to publish Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire ( 1824 ), a discourse on heat, power, energy and engine efficiency.

General technocentric enthusiasm even led some designers to take the " work kitchen " approach even further, culminating in futuristic designs like Luigi Colani's " kitchen satellite " ( 1969, commissioned by the German high-end kitchen manufacturer Poggenpohl for an exhibit ), in which the room was reduced to a ball with a chair in the middle and all appliances at arm's length, an optimal arrangement maybe for " applying heat to food ", but not necessarily for actual cooking.

Another example is his work on the conduction of heat which led him to his theory of curvilinear coordinates.

Heat pumps are already at a price disadvantage when it comes to initial investment ( not long-term savings ) compared to conventional heating solutions like boilers, so the drive towards more efficient heat pumps and air conditioners is often led by legislative measures on minimum efficiency standards.
