Heat transfer refers to various mechanisms by which thermal energy moves from one location to another. There are three primary types of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. A given … Read more
Cryogenics is a field of science and engineering that delves into the behavior and utilization of materials at extremely low temperatures. At such extreme cold temperatures, substances exhibit unique properties, … Read more
Cleanrooms are engineered facilities that minimize the level of contaminants inside them. Because they control the number and size of particles in the room, cleanrooms enable specific research and manufacturing … Read more
A phase change material (PCM) is a substance that absorbs and releases thermal energy over a period of time. PCMs work by undergoing the processes of melting and solidifying to … Read more
A vacuum jacketed hose is a type of specialized hose designed to minimize heat loss from the fluid it is transferring. The product consists of an inner stainless steel hose, … Read more
Wire harnesses are everywhere — under the hood of every car and truck on the road, and in every plane, jet, and rocket in the sky. Wire harnesses are also … Read more
Heat transfer occurs in four ways: convection, conduction, radiation, and phase change. Conduction occurs when atoms or molecules interact with each other. It happens most frequently in solids but also … Read more
Convective heat transfer refers to the movement of thermal energy within fluids. Convection occurs due to the bulk movement of molecules within the liquid, gas, or liquid-gas mixture. Initially, heat … Read more
Corrosion is a type of oxidation that occurs when a material loses electrons to oxygen molecules in the surrounding air or water. In the context of industrial manufacturing, this material … Read more
Matter exists chiefly in four forms: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. The conversion of matter from one state to another is called a phase change. This process occurs when a … Read more
