  2. Fin (extended surface) - Wikipedia

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

    In the study of heat transfer, fins are surfaces that extend from an object to increase the rate of heat transfer to or from the environment by increasing convection. The amount of conduction , convection , or radiation of an object determines the amount of heat it transfers.

  3. Dielectric heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_heating

    The process of energy transfer from the source to the sample is a form of radiative heating. Temperature is related to the average kinetic energy (energy of motion) of the atoms or molecules in a material, so agitating the molecules in this way increases the temperature of the material. Thus, dipole rotation is a mechanism by which energy in ...

  4. Extrusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrusion

    The anti-cancer drug Doxorubicin in liposome delivery system is formulated by extrusion, for example. Hot melt extrusion is also utilized in pharmaceutical solid oral dose processing to enable delivery of drugs with poor solubility and bioavailability. Hot melt extrusion has been shown to molecularly disperse poorly soluble drugs in a polymer ...

  5. Heat pipe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pipe

    A laptop computer heat pipe system. A heat pipe is a heat-transfer device that employs phase transition to transfer heat between two solid interfaces. [1]At the hot interface of a heat pipe, a volatile liquid in contact with a thermally conductive solid surface turns into a vapor by absorbing heat from that surface.

  6. Plastic extrusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_extrusion

    Often co-extrusion is used to apply one or more layers on top of a base material to obtain specific properties such as UV-absorption, texture, oxygen permeation resistance, or energy reflection. A common post-extrusion process for plastic sheet stock is thermoforming, where the sheet is heated until soft (plastic), and formed via a mold into a ...

  7. Heat transfer physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer_physics

    The energy is different made (converted) among various carriers. The heat transfer processes (or kinetics) are governed by the rates at which various related physical phenomena occur, such as (for example) the rate of particle collisions in classical mechanics. These various states and kinetics determine the heat transfer, i.e., the net rate of ...

  8. Transport phenomena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_phenomena

    There are some notable similarities in equations for momentum, energy, and mass transfer [7] which can all be transported by diffusion, as illustrated by the following examples: Mass: the spreading and dissipation of odors in air is an example of mass diffusion. Energy: the conduction of heat in a solid material is an example of heat diffusion.

  9. Energy transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_transformation

    Fire is an example of energy transformation Energy transformation using Energy Systems Language. Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one form to another. [1] In physics, energy is a quantity that provides the capacity to perform work or moving (e.g. lifting an object) or provides heat.
