[ adjective ] (physics) relating to or associated with heat
Examples "thermal movements of molecules" "thermal capacity" "thermic energy" "the caloric effect of sunlight" Used in print (1961 Research Highlights of the National Bureau of...)Another effect discovered is the large coefficient of thermal diffusion tending to separate nitrogen from the oxygen when temperature differences straddling the nitrogen dissociation region are present . The results of the study , based on collision integrals computed from the latest critically evaluated data on intermolecular forces in air , will be reported in the form of a table of viscosity , thermal conductivity , thermal diffusion , and diffusion coefficients at temperatures of 1000 to 10000 * * f and of logarithm of pressure in atmospheres from * * f to * * f times normal density .
