THE distribution of temperature along a thin rod or wire electrically heated in vacuo has been studied both theoretically and experimentally by several authors. A knowledge of this distribution is ...

Radiation is the transfer of heat energy from a region of high temperature to a region of low temperature by infrared radiation. Unlike conduction and convection, radiation takes place without the ...

The temperature stays the same when a solid is melting or a liquid is boiling during a change of state, even though heat energy is being absorbed. The specific latent heat of a substance is a ...
