IPA: /ˈθɜːrmaɪt/
KK: /ˈθɜrˌmaɪt/
Definition: A chemical mixture made of aluminum and iron oxide that produces a lot of heat when ignited, often used in welding and explosives.
Example: The workers used thermite to weld the metal parts together.
IPA: /θɜːrməʊˈkɛmɪkəl/
KK: /θɜrməˈkɛmɪkəl/
Definition: Related to the study of the relationship between heat and chemical reactions.
Example: The thermochemical properties of the substance were analyzed during the experiment.
IPA: /θɜːrməʊˈkɛmɪstri/
KK: /θɜrməˈkɛmɪstri/
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.
IPA: /ˈθɜːrməˌklaɪn/
KK: /ˈθɜrməˌklaɪn/
Definition: A layer in a body of water that separates warmer water on top from colder water below, where the temperature changes quickly as you go deeper.
Example: The fish prefer to stay in the thermocline where the temperature is just right for them.
IPA: //ˌθɜːrməˈdjʊrɪk//
KK: /ˌθɜrməˈdʊrɪk/
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.
IPA: /ˌθɜːrməʊdaɪˈnæmɪk/
KK: /ˌθɜrməʊdaɪˈnæmɪk/
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.
IPA: /ˌθɜːrmoʊdaɪˈnæmɪkəl/
KK: /θɜrmoʊdaɪˈnæmɪkəl/
Example: The thermodynamical principles explain how energy is transferred in different systems.
IPA: /ˌθɜːrmoʊdaɪˈnæmɪks/
KK: /ˌθɜrmoʊdaɪˈnæmɪks/
Definition: The branch of physics that studies how heat and energy interact and change forms.
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.
