  3. Dry-bulb temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry-bulb_temperature

    The dry-bulb temperature (DBT) is the temperature of air measured by a thermometer freely exposed to the air, but shielded from radiation. [1] The dry-bulb temperature is the temperature that is usually thought of as air temperature, and it is the true thermodynamic temperature. It is directly proportional to the mean kinetic energy of the air ...

  4. Thermodynamic diagrams - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_diagrams

    The path or series of states through which a system passes from an initial equilibrium state to a final equilibrium state [1] and can be viewed graphically on a pressure-volume (P-V), pressure-temperature (P-T), and temperature-entropy (T-s) diagrams. [2] There are an infinite number of possible paths from an initial point to an end point in a ...

  5. Tempering (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempering_(metallurgy)

    These methods consist of quenching to a specific temperature that is above the martensite start (M s) temperature, and then holding at that temperature for extended amounts of time. Depending on the temperature and the amount of time, this allows either pure bainite to form, or holds off forming the martensite until much of the internal ...

  6. Fin (extended surface) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fin_(extended_surface)

    The base of the fin is typically set to a constant reference temperature, (=) =. There are four commonly possible fin tip ( x = L {\displaystyle x=L} ) conditions, however: the tip can be exposed to convective heat transfer, insulated, held at a constant temperature, or so far away from the base as to reach the ambient temperature.

  7. Ironing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironing

    The heating is commonly done to a temperature of 180–220 °C (360–430 °F), depending on the fabric. [2] Ironing works by loosening the bonds between the long-chain polymer molecules in the fibres of the material. While the molecules are hot, the fibres are straightened by the weight of the iron, and they hold their new shape as they cool.
