Thermal printer A thermal printer (or direct thermal printer) produces a printed image by selectively heating coated thermochromic paper, or thermal paper as it is commonly known, when the paper passes over the thermal print head. The coating turns black in the areas where it is heated, producing an image.
Thermal radiation Thermal radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted from the surface of an object which is due to the object's temperature. Infrared radiation from a common household radiator or electric heater is an example of thermal radiation, as is the light emitted by a glowing incandescent light bulb.
Thermal reactor A thermal reactor has moderating materials to reduce the speed of neutrons to low velocity thermal neutrons, so that uranium-235 will be more likely to fission when it is struck by the neutrons and fewer neutrons will be captured by uranium-238. Thermal reactors are the most common type of nuclear reactor.

Thermal shock Thermal shock is the name given to cracking as a result of rapid temperature change. Glass and ceramic objects are particularly vulnerable to this form of failure, due to their low toughness, low thermal conductivity, as well as their high-melting point (which often leads to their use in high-temperature applications.
Thermal transfer In regards to printing a thermal transfer printer has a print-head containing many small resistive heating pins that on contact, depending on the type of thermal transfer printer, melt wax-based ink onto ordinary paper or burn dots onto special coated paper.
Thermal transmittance Thermal transmittance, also known as U-value, is the rate of transfer of heat (in watts) through one square metre of a structure divided by the difference in temperature across the structure. It is expressed in watts per square metre per kelvin, or W/m2K.
Thermal treatment Thermal treatment is a term given to any waste treatment technology that involves high temperatures in the processing of the waste feedstock. This commonly, although not exclusively involves the combustion of waste materials.
Thermal velocity The Thermal velocity is the speed at which a particular particle species happens to travel at a given temperature (Note that, in the strictest sense this means that thermal velocity is not a velocity at all, since velocity usually describes a vector rather than simply a scalar speed). Temperature is understood to be related to random kinetic energy of the individual particles (molecules, atoms, ions, and/or other elementary particles) that make up a material.
Thermal wind The thermal wind is not actually a wind, but a difference in the geostrophic wind between two pressure levels p_1 and p_0, with p_1< p_0. It is only present in an atmosphere with horizontal gradients of temperature (or in an ocean with horizontal gradients of density), i.

Thermionic converter A thermionic converter consists of a hot electrode which thermionically emits electrons over a potential energy barrier to a cooler electrode, producing a useful electric power output. Cesium vapor is used to optimize the electrode work functions and provide an ion supply (by surface contact ionization or electron impact ionization in a plasma) to neutralize the electron space charge.
Thermionic emission Thermionic emission (archaically known as the Edison effect) is the flow of charged particles called thermions from a charged metal or a charged metal oxide surface, caused by thermal vibrational energy overcoming the electrostatic forces holding electrons to the surface. The charge of the thermions (either positive or negative) will be the same as the charge of the metal/metal oxide.

Numerical values of these thermodynamic properties are collected as tables or are calculated from thermodynamic datafiles.
Thermodynamic diagrams Thermodynamic diagrams are diagrams used by scientists and engineers to represent the thermodynamic states of a material (typically fluid) and the consequences of manipulating this material. For instance, a temperature-entropy diagram (T-s diagram for short) may be used to demonstrate the behavior of a fluid as it is changed by a compressor.
Thermodynamic equilibrium In thermodynamics, a thermodynamic system is said to be in thermodynamic equilibrium when it is in thermal equilibrium, mechanical equilibrium, and chemical equilibrium. The local state of a system at thermodynamic equilibrium is determined by the values of its intensive parameters, as pressure, temperature, etc.
Thermodynamic free energy In thermodynamics, the term thermodynamic free energy is a measure of the amount of mechanical (or other) work that can be extracted from a system, and is helpful in engineering applications.

The distinction is relevant when product A forms faster than product B (The activation energy for A is lower than that of B) but B is a more stable product than A.
Thermodynamic temperature Thermodynamic temperature is the absolute measure of temperature and is one of the principal parameters of thermodynamics. Thermodynamic temperature is an “absolute” scale because it is the measure of the fundamental property underlying temperature: its null or zero point, absolute zero, is the lowest possible temperature where nothing could be colder and no heat energy remains in a substance.
Thermodynamics Thermodynamics (from the Greek thermos meaning heat and dynamics meaning power) is a branch of physics that studies the effects of changes in temperature, pressure, and volume on physical systems at the macroscopic scale by analyzing the collective motion of their particles using statistics. Roughly, heat means "energy in transit" and dynamics relates to "movement"; thus, in essence thermodynamics studies the movement of energy and how energy instills movement.
Thermoeconomics In the natural sciences, thermoeconomics is the statistical physics of economic value. According to Peter Corning, thermoeconomics is based on the proposition that the role of energy in biological evolution should be defined and understood through the second law of thermodynamics but in terms of such economic criteria as productivity, efficiency, and especially the costs and benefits (or profitability) of the various mechanisms for capturing and utilizing available energy to build biomass and do work.
