Humidity
Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air, measured as mass of water per unit volume or mass of air, or as a percentage of the maximum amount the …
Adiabatic
A thermodynamic system or process is called adiabatic when occurs without the transfer of heat or mass of substances between a thermodynamic system and its surroundings. In an adiabatic process, energy is …
Thermodynamic system
A thermodynamic system is a defined quantity of matter, or a defined portion of space (geometrically delimited). This system is delimited by surfaces (or walls or boundaries), also known as control surfaces; …
Thermal radiation
Thermal radiation is the emission of electromagnetic radiation (waves) generated by the thermal motion of particles in the matter (that has a temperature greater than absolute zero). It represents the conversion of thermal energy …
Convection
Convection is a type of transport (of matter and energy), absent in solids and negligible for very viscous fluids, caused by a pressure gradient and the force of gravity and characterized by circulation motions inside the fluid. The …
Thermal conduction (diffusion)
Thermal conduction (or diffusion) is the transfer of heat (internal energy) by microscopic collisions of particles and movement of electrons, that takes place in a solid, liquid, or aeriform medium (inside a single body …
Advection
Advection is the transport of a substance (and its properties) by bulk motion. During advection, a fluid transports some conserved quantity or material via bulk motion. The fluid’s motion is described mathematically as a …
