thermochemist

IPA: /θɜːrməˈkɛmɪst/

KK: /θɜrməˈkɛmɪst/

noun

Definition: A person who studies or works in the field of thermochemistry, which is the branch of chemistry that deals with the heat involved in chemical reactions.

Example: The thermochemist conducted experiments to understand the energy changes during the reaction.

thermochemistry

IPA: /θɜːrməʊˈkɛmɪstri/

KK: /θɜrməˈkɛmɪstri/

noun

Definition: This is a field of chemistry that studies how heat is involved in chemical reactions and changes in physical states.

Example: Thermochemistry helps scientists understand how much heat is released or absorbed during a reaction.

thermocouple

IPA: /ˈθɜːrməˌkʌpəl/

KK: /ˈθɜrməˌkʌpəl/

noun

Definition: A device that measures temperature by using two different metals joined together, which creates a voltage that indicates the temperature difference.

Example: The engineer used a thermocouple to monitor the temperature of the furnace.

thermoduric

IPA: //ˌθɜːrməˈdjʊrɪk//

KK: /ˌθɜrməˈdʊrɪk/

adjective

Definition: Able to live or remain active at high temperatures, particularly during processes like pasteurization.

Example: Some bacteria are thermoduric, meaning they can survive the heat during pasteurization.

thermodynamic

IPA: /ˌθɜːrməʊdaɪˈnæmɪk/

KK: /ˌθɜrməʊdaɪˈnæmɪk/

adjective

Definition: Relating to the branch of physics that deals with heat and temperature and their relation to energy and work.

Example: The thermodynamic properties of the gas were analyzed in the experiment.

thermodynamical

IPA: /ˌθɜːrmoʊdaɪˈnæmɪkəl/

KK: /θɜrmoʊdaɪˈnæmɪkəl/

adjective

Definition: Relating to the branch of physics that deals with heat and temperature and their relation to energy and work.

Example: The thermodynamical principles explain how energy is transferred in different systems.

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.
