Joule heating (also known as resistive, resistance, or Ohmic heating) is the process by which the passage of an electric current through a conductor produces...

varied weather when compared to Uranus is due in part to its higher internal heating. The upper regions of Neptune's troposphere reach a low temperature...

cathode into the gas. A cold-cathode vacuum tube does not rely on external heating of an electrode to provide thermionic emission of electrons. Early cold-cathode...

and the electric kettle, which is a small kitchen appliance with an internal heating element. The word kettle originates from Old Norse ketill, "cauldron"...

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is the use of various technologies to control the temperature, humidity, and purity of the air in an...

The heating value (or energy value or calorific value) of a substance, usually a fuel or food (see food energy), is the amount of heat released during...

planet may have taken a few million years to form. Tidal heating is unlikely. Internal heating may increase temperatures at large depths, but is unlikely...

designed to supply high discharge current pulses without excessive internal heating. The principal properties of a capacitor are capacitance, working voltage...

insulated pipes for residential and commercial heating requirements such as space heating and water heating. The heat is often obtained from a cogeneration...

commonly referred to as a "cold-blooded animal", is an animal in which internal physiological sources of heat, such as blood, are of relatively small or...

Electric heating is a process in which electrical energy is converted directly to heat energy. Common applications include space heating, cooking, water...

temperature for some planets, such as Jupiter, would need to include the internal heating as a power input. The actual temperature depends on albedo and atmosphere...

iron is composed of a heated metal tip (the bit) and an insulated handle. Heating is often achieved electrically, by passing an electric current (supplied...

Milky Way galaxy, based on mathematical modeling studies of their internal heating rates. The majority of such worlds would probably have subsurface oceans...

Underfloor heating and cooling is a form of central heating and cooling that achieves indoor climate control for thermal comfort using hydronic or electrical...

source and a working fluid. Heat exchangers are used in both cooling and heating processes. The fluids may be separated by a solid wall to prevent mixing...

mass and composition. Alternative theories explain Ganymede's greater internal heating on the basis of tidal flexing or more intense pummeling by impactors...

welding methods for thermoplastics can be classified as external and internal heating methods, as shown in Fig 1. Production of a good quality weld does...

Water heating is a heat transfer process that uses an energy source to heat water above its initial temperature. Typical domestic uses of hot water include...

fires or by large deposits of radioactive elements. Other sources of internal heating can be gravitational differentiation of substances, tidal friction...

internal speaker/radio and filtration equipment. The suit had an internal heating system to regulate the body temperature. It was also thick enough to...

An internal combustion engine (ICE or IC engine) is a heat engine in which the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion...

which occurs by self-heating (increase in temperature due to exothermic internal reactions), followed by thermal runaway (self heating which rapidly accelerates...

Moderate temperature radiant heating and cooling is usually composed of relatively large surfaces that are internally heated or cooled using hydronic...

The thermal mass is warmed passively by the sun or additionally by internal heating systems during the day. Thermal energy stored in the mass is then released...
