Thermal stress weathering ( sometimes called insolation weathering ) results from expansion or contraction of rock, caused by temperature changes.

Thermal stress weathering is an important mechanism in deserts, where there is a large diurnal temperature range, hot in the day and cold at night.

Popular stress tests include Prime95, Everest, Superpi, OCCT, IntelBurnTest / Linpack / LinX, SiSoftware Sandra, BOINC, Intel Thermal Analysis Tool and Memtest86.

Elites won their class six times at the 24 hour Le Mans race as well as two Index of Thermal Efficiency wins.

Thermal wind is a meteorological term not referring to an actual wind, but a difference in the geostrophic wind between two pressure levels and, with < math > p_1 < p_0 </ math >; in essence, wind shear.

Thermal equilibrium is achieved when two systems in thermal contact with each other cease to have a net exchange of energy.

Bathinda is home to two modern thermal power plants, Guru Nanak Dev Thermal Plant in the city and the other one, Guru Hargobind Thermal Plant at Lehra Mohabbat.

The 2nd generation is being developed mainly through two approaches: Thermal Assisted Switching ( TAS ) which is being developed by Crocus Technology, and Spin Torque Transfer ( STT ) which Crocus, Hynix, IBM, and several other companies are developing.

There are two 2nd generation techniques currently being developed: Thermal Assisted Switching ( TAS ) and Spin Torque Transfer ( STT ).

Thermal control is achieved by the means of two panels with an aluminium honeycomb structure, which act as thermal radiators allowing the heat generated by the spacecraft to radiate out into space.

The Pylons of Cádiz, also known as the Towers of Cádiz, are two tall pylons supporting a double-circuit 132 kV three-phase AC powerline over the bay of Cádiz, Spain starting at Puerto Real Substation at to the substation of the former Cadiz Thermal Power Station situated on the peninsula upon which the city of Cádiz stands at.

The only possible exception is moissanite, which has a thermal conductivity similar to diamond: older probes can be fooled by moissanite, but newer Thermal and Electrical Conductivity testers are sophisticated enough to differentiate the two materials.

Thermal sensors can generally be divided into two main categories, thermocouple power sensors and thermistor-based power sensors.

# Thermal decomposition: The initiator is heated until a bond is homolytically cleaved, producing two radicals ( Figure 1 ).

Thermal control was achieved through the use of adjustable louvers on the sides of the main compartment.

Thermal control was maintained by a multilayer aluminized Mylar and Dacron thermal blanket which enshrouded the main bus, special paint, insulation, and small heaters.

Thermal ribbons come in three main types: wax, wax / resin or pure resin and are almost always black ( other colors sometimes used are red and blue ).

* Thermal engineering for the design of the thermal control subsystem, which maintains environmental conditions compatible with operations of the spacecraft equipments ; This subsystem has very space-specific technologies, since in space, radiation and conduction usually dominate as thermal effects, by opposition with Earth where convection is typically the main one,

Heat engines distinguish themselves from other types of engines by the fact that their efficiency is fundamentally limited by Carnot's theorem .< ref > Thermal physics: entropy and free energies, by Joon Chang Lee ( 2002 ), Appendix A, p. 183: " A heat engine absorbs energy from a heat source and then converts it into work for us.

Thermal mass is effective in improving building comfort in any place that experiences these types of daily temperature fluctuations — both in winter as well as in summer.

Thermal noise results from the motion of charge carriers ( usually electrons ) in an electrical circuit generated by their thermal motion.

Members of CAC led the ESA funded CACTEX ( Chalmers Aerospace Club Thermal EXperiment ) project where the thermal conductivity of alcohol at zero gravity was investigated using a sounding rocket.

* Thermal conductivities of the elements ( data page ) — thermal conductivity

* Thermal expansion coefficients of the elements ( data page ) — thermal expansion

; Thermal expansion: A solid is said to be isotropic if the expansion of solid is equal in all directions when thermal energy is provided to the solid.

Similarly, in Thermal quantum field theory a compactification of the euclidean time dimension leads to the Matsubara frequencies and thus to a discretized thermal energy spectrum.

Thermal radiation refers not only to the radiation itself, but also the process by which the surface of an object radiates its thermal energy in the form black body radiation.

* Thermal infrared spectroscopy measures thermal radiation emitted from materials and surfaces and is used to determine the type of bonds present in a sample as well as their lattice environment.

** M551A1 TTS-Tank Thermal Sight, fitted with the AN / VSG-2B thermal sight unit, similar to the unit used on the M60A3 MBT.

Thermal control was achieved through the use of passive reflecting and absorbing surfaces, thermal shields, and movable louvers.

Thermal inertia is a term commonly used by scientists and engineers modelling heat transfers and is a bulk material property related to thermal conductivity and volumetric heat capacity.

Thermal resistance is the reciprocal of thermal conductance, i. e., lowering its value will raise the heat conduction and vice versa.

# redirect Thermal expansion # Coefficient of thermal expansion

Thermal imaging can be used to document areas of poor thermal performance such as the negative thermal impact of roof-angled glass or a skylight on a cold winter night or hot summer day.

Thermal insulation is the reduction of heat transfer ( the transfer of thermal energy between objects of differing temperature ) between objects in thermal contact or in range of radiative influence.

Thermal insulation provides a region of insulation in which thermal conduction is reduced or thermal radiation is reflected rather than absorbed by the lower-temperature body.

Thermal mass is a concept in building design that describes how the mass of the building provides " inertia " against temperature fluctuations, sometimes known as the thermal flywheel effect.

Thermal effusivity is a quantity derived from conductivity which is a measure of its ability to exchange thermal energy with its surroundings.
