  2. Thermal stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_stability

    In thermodynamics, thermal stability describes the stability of a water body and its resistance to mixing. [1] It is the amount of work needed to transform the water to a uniform water density . The Schmidt stability "S" is commonly measured in joules per square meter (J/m 2 ).

  3. Thermostability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostability

    Crystal structure of β-glucosidase from Thermotoga neapolitana (PDB: 5IDI).Thermostable protein, active at 80°C and with unfolding temperature of 101°C. [1]In materials science and molecular biology, thermostability is the ability of a substance to resist irreversible change in its chemical or physical structure, often by resisting decomposition or polymerization, at a high relative ...

  4. Atmospheric instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_instability

    Whether or not the atmosphere has stability depends partially on the moisture content. In a very dry troposphere, a temperature decrease with height less than 9.8 °C (17.6 °F) per kilometer ascent indicates stability, while greater changes indicate instability. This lapse rate is known as the dry adiabatic lapse rate. [3]

  5. Heat transfer coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer_coefficient

    The thermal conductivity is a characteristic of the particular material. Values of thermal conductivities for various materials are listed in the list of thermal conductivities. As mentioned earlier in the article the convection heat transfer coefficient for each stream depends on the type of fluid, flow properties and temperature properties.

  6. Thermodynamic state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_state

    The state functions satisfy certain universal constraints, expressed in the laws of thermodynamics, and they depend on the peculiarities of the materials that compose the concrete system. Various thermodynamic diagrams have been developed to model the transitions between thermodynamic states.

  7. Thermodynamic temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_temperature

    Thermodynamic temperature is a quantity defined in thermodynamics as distinct from kinetic theory or statistical mechanics.. Historically, thermodynamic temperature was defined by Lord Kelvin in terms of a macroscopic relation between thermodynamic work and heat transfer as defined in thermodynamics, but the kelvin was redefined by international agreement in 2019 in terms of phenomena that are ...

  8. Polyvinyl fluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_fluoride

    The main applications of PVF are protective and decorative coatings, thanks to its thermal stability, and general inertness towards chemicals, corrosives and staining agents. There are two ways to apply PVF, either as a preformed film or from dispersion . These coatings can be transparent or pigmented. [4]

  9. Chemical stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_stability

    In chemistry, chemical stability is the thermodynamic stability of a chemical system, in particular a chemical compound or a polymer. [ 1 ] Thermodynamic stability occurs when a system is in its lowest energy state , or in chemical equilibrium with its environment.
