thermodynamics

IPA: /ˌθɜːrmoʊdaɪˈnæmɪks/

KK: /ˌθɜrmoʊdaɪˈnæmɪks/

noun

Definition: The branch of physics that studies how heat and energy interact and change forms.

Example: Thermodynamics is essential for understanding how engines work.

thermoelectric

IPA: /ˌθɜːrmoʊˈɛlɛktrɪk/

KK: /ˌθɜrmoʊɪˈlɛktrɪk/

adjective

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.

thermoelement

IPA: /ˈθɜːrməʊˌɛlɪmənt/

KK: /ˈθɜrməʊˌɛlɪmənt/

noun

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.

thermogenesis

IPA: /θɜːrˈmoʊdʒənɪsɪs/

KK: /θɜrˈmoʊdʒənɪsɪs/

noun

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.

thermogram

IPA: /ˈθɜːrməˌɡræm/

KK: /ˈθɜrməˌɡræm/

noun

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.

thermograph

IPA: /ˈθɜːrməˌɡræf/

KK: /ˈθɜrməˌgræf/

noun

Definition: A device that measures and records temperature changes automatically.

Example: The thermograph showed a steady increase in temperature throughout the day.

thermographic

IPA: /θɜːrməˈɡræfɪk/

KK: /θɜrməˈgræfɪk/

adjective

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.

thermography

IPA: /θɜːrˈmɒɡrəfi/

KK: /θɜrˈmɒɡrəfi/

noun

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.

thermohaline

IPA: /θɜːrmoʊˈheɪlaɪn/

KK: /θɜrmoʊˈheɪlaɪn/

adjective

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.

thermojunction

IPA: /ˈθɜːrməʊˌdʒʌŋkʃən/

KK: /ˈθɜrməʊˌdʒʌŋkʃən/

noun

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.
