  2. Transfer factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_factor

    This use of transfer factors from sources other than blood has not been accompanied by the same concerns associated with blood-borne diseases, since no blood is involved. Transfer factor based nutritional supplements have become extremely popular throughout the world. However the way transfer factor works is still not clear.

  3. Newton's law of cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_cooling

    The opposite is also true: A Biot number greater than 0.1 (a "thermally thick" substance) indicates that one cannot make this assumption, and more complicated heat transfer equations for "transient heat conduction" will be required to describe the time-varying and non-spatially-uniform temperature field within the material body.

  4. Diffusing capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusing_capacity

    Diffusing capacity of the lung (D L) (also known as transfer factor) measures the transfer of gas from air in the lung, to the red blood cells in lung blood vessels. It is part of a comprehensive series of pulmonary function tests to determine the overall ability of the lung to transport gas into and out of the blood.

  5. Flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux

    The word flux comes from Latin: fluxus means "flow", and fluere is "to flow". [2] As fluxion, this term was introduced into differential calculus by Isaac Newton.. The concept of heat flux was a key contribution of Joseph Fourier, in the analysis of heat transfer phenomena. [3]

  6. Electrical reactance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_reactance

    In electrical circuits, reactance is the opposition presented to alternating current by inductance and capacitance. [1] Along with resistance, it is one of two elements of impedance; however, while both elements involve transfer of electrical energy, no dissipation of electrical energy as heat occurs in reactance; instead, the reactance stores energy until a quarter-cycle later when the energy ...

  7. R-value (insulation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-value_(insulation)

    The U-factor or U-value (in W/(m 2 ⋅K)) is the overall heat transfer coefficient and can be found by taking the inverse of the R-value. It is a property that describes how well building elements conduct heat per unit area across a temperature gradient.

  8. Talk:Transfer factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Transfer_factor

    The PDR is not the end all be all of medical information for a research molecule. You are conflating the vernacular "transfer factor" with the research term. Read the very first citation provided and look at the picture imaged - they reference a form a transfer factor coming from lymphocytes.

  9. Heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat

    Heat transfer rate, or heat flow per unit time, is denoted by ˙, but it is not a time derivative of a function of state (which can also be written with the dot notation) since heat is not a function of state. [5] Heat flux is defined as rate of heat transfer per unit cross-sectional area (watts per square metre).
