Heat transfer is the physical act of thermal energy being exchanged between two systems by dissipating heat. Temperature and the flow of heat are the basic principles of heat transfer.

Continuing the heat transfer series, in this video we take a look at conduction and the heat equation. Fourier's law is used to calculate the rate at which heat is transferred through an object ...

The efficient conversion of solar energy into storable forms of chemical energy is the dream of many engineers. Nature found a perfect solution to this problem billions of years ago. A new study ...

Why? Hydraulics. This was explained to me by the folks at Efficiency Maine Trust. They have a lot of experience with heat pumps because Maine has been doubling down on this energy-saving technology.

Energy Transfer(NYSE: ET) has long sought to convert its existing Lake Charles LNG import and regasification facility to a liquified natural gas (LNG) export terminal. It started working on that ...

Key Takeaways Heat pumps run on electricity and furnaces run on fossil fuels, natural gas, propane, or oil.Our experts say there's no clear answer for which type is more energy efficient.Location ...

This transfer occurs at the molecular level—from one body to another—when heat energy is absorbed by a surface and causes the molecules of that surface to move more quickly.

Phonons, it was long thought, could not transfer heat energy through empty space; they require two objects to touch or, at least, to be in mutual contact with a suitable medium such as air.
