Sentences with phrase «heat flux»
The phrase "heat flux" refers to the amount of heat that is transferred across a specific area per unit of time. It helps us understand how fast heat is being transferred or conducted through a material or system. Full definition
Now, a team of Italian physicists has developed a predictive theoretical model for heat flux in these materials, using atom - scale calculations.

The researchers said their new predictive model is a «definite improvement» over current models of geothermal heat flux that don't incorporate as many variables.
The most reliable source of information for changes in the global mean net air — sea heat flux comes from the constraints provided by analyses of changes in ocean heat storage.
Very near the bottom temperatures have been found to increase with depth indicating a small upward heat flux from geothermal sources, which help to heat only the very deepest water.
This oceanic heat flux causes a delay in the climate response.
This transfer of heat between the ocean and atmosphere is called heat flux.
These capabilities include critical heat flux testing, steam generator flow - induced vibration testing, and control rod assembly drop alignment testing, among others.
It is difficult to establish the exact mechanism for this stronger heat flux to deeper water, given the diverse internal variability in the oceans.
Of course, this won't wash either, because calculating heat flux requires temperature measurement (s), which don't exist, apparently.
I assume there's enough evidence to estimate the influence of sulfate concentrations on heat flux thanks to all of the eruptions on record.
By contrast, in the northern regions, we found large areas with high geothermal heat flux.
This can only happen if the land is drying out leading to more sensible and less latent heat flux at the surface.
I'm thinking it cools because of a decreased heat flux into the stratosphere because outbound heat is building up?
The increase in mean net air — sea heat flux is thus small compared to the uncertainties of the global mean.
Since AR4, some studies have shown consistency in regional net heat flux variability at sub-basin scale since the 1980s, notably in the Tropical Indian Ocean (Yu et al., 2007) and North Pacific (Kawai et al., 2008).
In cases when the lower atmosphere is transparent enough to allow the greenhouse gas increase to affect downward IR, it can give a bit of additional warming, but the amount depends on evaporation and sensible heat fluxes as well.]
«They look at geothermal heat flux through seismic signals or magnetic data in Greenland, but not crustal thickness or rock type or distance from a hot spot.
