Example: Thermodynamics is essential for understanding how engines work.
IPA: /ˌθɜːrmoʊˈɛlɛktrɪk/
KK: /ˌθɜrmoʊɪˈlɛktrɪk/
Definition: Relating to the electrical effects that occur when there is a difference in temperature, often used in devices that convert heat into electricity.
Example: Thermoelectric materials can be used to generate power from waste heat.
IPA: /ˈθɜːrməʊˌɛlɪmənt/
KK: /ˈθɜrməʊˌɛlɪmənt/
Definition: A device that generates electricity from heat or measures small electrical currents using a heating element.
Example: The thermoelement is used in various applications to convert heat energy into electrical energy.
IPA: /θɜːrˈmoʊdʒənɪsɪs/
KK: /θɜrˈmoʊdʒənɪsɪs/
Definition: The process of producing heat in the body, often through metabolic activities.
Example: During cold weather, the body increases thermogenesis to maintain its temperature.
IPA: /ˈθɜːrməˌɡræm/
KK: /ˈθɜrməˌɡræm/
Definition: A type of record that shows temperature changes, created by a device called a thermograph.
Example: The doctor examined the thermogram to check for any unusual heat patterns in the patient's body.
IPA: /ˈθɜːrməˌɡræf/
KK: /ˈθɜrməˌgræf/
Definition: A device that measures and records temperature changes automatically.
Example: The thermograph showed a steady increase in temperature throughout the day.
IPA: /θɜːrməˈɡræfɪk/
KK: /θɜrməˈgræfɪk/
Definition: Relating to a method of using infrared imaging to detect heat patterns and temperatures.
Example: The thermographic camera revealed areas of heat loss in the building.
IPA: /θɜːrˈmɒɡrəfi/
KK: /θɜrˈmɒɡrəfi/
Definition: A method that uses an infrared camera to detect temperature differences on the skin, helping to identify abnormal tissue or health issues.
Example: The doctor used thermography to check for any unusual heat patterns on the patient's body.
IPA: /θɜːrmoʊˈheɪlaɪn/
KK: /θɜrmoʊˈheɪlaɪn/
Definition: Relating to the combined effects of temperature and saltiness in water, often used in oceanography to describe water movement and properties.
Example: The thermohaline circulation plays a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate.
IPA: /ˈθɜːrməʊˌdʒʌŋkʃən/
KK: /ˈθɜrməʊˌdʒʌŋkʃən/
Definition: A connection point where two different metals meet, creating a thermoelectric current, often used in temperature measurement devices.
Example: The thermojunction in the thermocouple allows for accurate temperature readings.
