Thermal A thermal column (or thermal) is a column of rising air in the lower altitudes of the Earth's atmosphere. Thermals are created by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface from solar radiation, and are an example of convection.
Thermal airship A thermal airship is an airship that generates its lift via a temperature differential between the gas inside its envelope and the ambient air. (This is in contrast to the more common use of Helium to provide lift.
Thermal barrier coating Thermal barrier coatings are layered systems applied to metallic surfaces, such as gas turbine or aero-engine parts operating at elevated temperatures. The principle use of TBCs are to insulate metallic components from large and prolonged heat loads.

Thermal desorption spectroscopy Thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS), also known as temperature programmed desorption (TPD) is the method of observing desorbed molecules from a surface when the surface temperature is increased. Many researchers prefer the name TPD because it is not a spectroscopic method.
Thermal Design Power The Thermal Design Power (TDP) (sometimes called Thermal Design Point) represents the maximum amount of power the thermal solution in a computer system is required to dissipate. For example, a laptop's CPU cooling solution may be designed for a 20 W TDP, which means that it can dissipate (either via an active cooling method such as a fan, a passive cooling method via natural convection, via heat radiation or all three modes of heat transfer) 20 watts of heat without exceeding the maximum junction temperature for the chip.
Thermal efficiency The thermal efficiency (eta_{th} ,) is a dimensionless performance measure of a thermal device such as an internal combustion engine, a boiler, or a furnace, for example. The input, Q_{in} ,, to the device is heat, or the heat-content of a fuel that is consumed.
Thermal equator The thermal equator (also known as "the heat equator") is a belt encircling the Earth, defined by the set of locations having the highest mean annual temperature at each longitude around the globe. Because local temperatures are sensitive to the geography of a region, and mountain ranges and ocean currents ensure that smooth temperature gradients (such as might be found if the Earth were uniform in composition and devoid of surface irregularities) are impossible, the location of the thermal equator bears no relationship to that of the geographic equator.
Thermal expansion In physics, thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to increase in volume or pressure when heated. For liquids and solids the amount of expansion will normally vary depending on the material's coefficient of thermal expansion.
Thermal expansion valve A thermal expansion valve (often abbreviated as TXV or TX valve) is a component in an air conditioning system that controls the rate at which liquid refrigerant can flow into an evaporator. This is accomplished by use of temperature sensing device that causes the valve to open or close as temperature changes in the evaporator.
Thermal Emission Imaging System The Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) is a camera onboard the 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter. It images Mars in the visible and infrared parts of the electromagnetic spectrum in order to determine the thermal properties of the surface and to refine the distribution of minerals on the surface of Mars as determined by the Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES).

Thermal flywheel effect The thermal flywheel effect, sometimes also referred to as "Thermal Momentum", is a term used to describe the property of a material to remain at a given temperature. It is generally applied to buildings or construction materials.
Thermal fuse A thermal fuse or thermal cutoff is an electrical safety device that is designed to interrupt electrical current flow when heated to a specific temperature. Unlike the thermostat which automatically resets itself when the temperature drops, thermal fuses are more like their cousins, the electrical fuse, a single-use type of device that cannot be reset and must be replaced when it fails or is triggered.
Thermal grease Thermal grease (also called thermal compound, thermal paste, or heat sink compound) is a substance that increases thermal conductivity between the surfaces of two or more objects. In electronics, it is often used to aid a component's thermal dissipation via a heat sink.
Thermal hydraulics Thermal hydraulics is the study of hydraulic flow in thermal systems. A common example is steam generation in power plants and the associated energy transfer to mechanical motion and the change of states of the water while undergoing this process.
Thermal Hall effect The Thermal hall effect is the thermal analog of the Hall effect for conductors. In particular, the Righi-Leduc Effect describes the heat flow resulting from a perpendicular temperature gradient and vice versa, and the Maggi-Righi-Leduc effect describes changes in thermal conductivity when placing a conductor in a magnetic field.

It is a method of measuring the thermal infrared energy being emitted (as opposed to reflected) from a material or surface.
Thermal interface material A Thermal Interface Material (aka TIM) is used to fill the gaps between thermal transfer surfaces, such as between microprocessors and heatsinks, in order to increase thermal transfer efficiency. These gaps are normally filled with air which is a very poor conductor.
Thermal ionisation In Thermal Ionisation, also referred to as Surface Ionisation, chemically-purified material loaded onto a filament which is then heated may cause some of the loaded element to be ionized as it boils off the hot filament.
Thermal lance A thermal lance or thermic lance or burning bar is a tool which burns iron in an oxygen environment to create very high temperatures for cutting. It consists of a long iron tube packed with iron rods, which are sometimes mixed with aluminum or magnesium rods which increase the heat output.

Techniques for heat dissipation can include heatsinks and fans for air cooling, and other forms of computer cooling such as liquid cooling.
Thermal mass Thermal mass, in the most general sense, is any mass that absorbs and holds heat. In the architectural sense, it is any mass that absorbs and stores heat during sunny periods when the heat is not desirable in the living space of a building, and then releases the heat during overcast periods or during the night, when the heat is desirable.
Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment An (Integrated) Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment (TMG or ITMG) is the outer layer of a space suit. The TMG has three functions: to insulate the suit occupant and prevent heat loss, to shield the occupant from harmful solar radiation, and to protect the astronaut from micrometeoroids, which could puncture the suit and depressurize it.
Thermal optimum A thermal optimum is either a portion of a specified geological time span in which the average temperature was above that of the average temperature for the entire specified time or the optimum range within which a biological process may take place or the ambient optimal range for a species' niche.
Thermal oxidation In microfabrication, thermal oxidation is a way to produce a thin layer of oxide (usually silicon dioxide) on the surface of a wafer (semiconductor). The technique forces an oxidizing agent to diffuse into the wafer at high temperature and react with it.
