- Forms of energy
Black-body radiation
Black-body radiation is the thermal electromagnetic radiation within, or surrounding, a body in thermodynamic equilibrium with its environment, emitted by a black body (an idealized opaque, non-reflective body).
See Thermal energy and Black-body radiation
Boltzmann constant
The Boltzmann constant is the proportionality factor that relates the average relative thermal energy of particles in a gas with the thermodynamic temperature of the gas.

Cambridge University Press
Cambridge University Press is the university press of the University of Cambridge.

Chemical energy
Chemical energy is the energy of chemical substances that is released when the substances undergo a chemical reaction and transform into other substances. Thermal energy and chemical energy are forms of energy.
See Thermal energy and Chemical energy

Energy
Energy is the quantitative property that is transferred to a body or to a physical system, recognizable in the performance of work and in the form of heat and light.
Enthalpy
Enthalpy is the sum of a thermodynamic system's internal energy and the product of its pressure and volume. Thermal energy and Enthalpy are thermodynamic properties.
See Thermal energy and Enthalpy
Geothermal energy
Geothermal energy is thermal energy extracted from the Earth's crust.
See Thermal energy and Geothermal energy
Geothermal heating
Geothermal heating is the direct use of geothermal energy for some heating applications.
See Thermal energy and Geothermal heating
Geothermal power
Geothermal power is electrical power generated from geothermal energy.

Harcourt (publisher)
Harcourt was an American publishing firm with a long history of publishing fiction and nonfiction for adults and children.

Heat
In thermodynamics, heat is the thermal energy transferred between systems due to a temperature difference.
Heat transfer
Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the generation, use, conversion, and exchange of thermal energy (heat) between physical systems.
See Thermal energy and Heat transfer
Helmholtz free energy
In thermodynamics, the Helmholtz free energy (or Helmholtz energy) is a thermodynamic potential that measures the useful work obtainable from a closed thermodynamic system at a constant temperature (isothermal).
See Thermal energy and Helmholtz free energy
Ideal gas
An ideal gas is a theoretical gas composed of many randomly moving point particles that are not subject to interparticle interactions.
See Thermal energy and Ideal gas
Internal energy
The internal energy of a thermodynamic system is the energy contained within it, measured as the quantity of energy necessary to bring the system from its standard internal state to its present internal state of interest, accounting for the gains and losses of energy due to changes in its internal state, including such quantities as magnetization. Thermal energy and internal energy are thermodynamic properties.

James Prescott Joule
James Prescott Joule (24 December 1818 11 October 1889) was an English physicist, mathematician and brewer, born in Salford, Lancashire.

Kinetic energy
In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the form of energy that it possesses due to its motion. Thermal energy and kinetic energy are forms of energy.
See Thermal energy and Kinetic energy
KT (energy)
kT (also written as kBT) is the product of the Boltzmann constant, k (or kB), and the temperature, T. This product is used in physics as a scale factor for energy values in molecular-scale systems (sometimes it is used as a unit of energy), as the rates and frequencies of many processes and phenomena depend not on their energy alone, but on the ratio of that energy and kT, that is, on (see Arrhenius equation, Boltzmann factor).
See Thermal energy and KT (energy)
Latent heat
Latent heat (also known as latent energy or heat of transformation) is energy released or absorbed, by a body or a thermodynamic system, during a constant-temperature process—usually a first-order phase transition, like melting or condensation.

Max Born
Max Born (11 December 1882 – 5 January 1970) was a German-British physicist and mathematician who was instrumental in the development of quantum mechanics.
See Thermal energy and Max Born
Molecule
A molecule is a group of two or more atoms held together by attractive forces known as chemical bonds; depending on context, the term may or may not include ions which satisfy this criterion.
See Thermal energy and Molecule
Ocean thermal energy conversion
Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is a renewable energy technology that harnesses the temperature difference between the warm surface waters of the ocean and the cold depths to run a heat engine to produce electricity.

Orders of magnitude (temperature)
Most ordinary human activity takes place at temperatures of this order of magnitude.
See Thermal energy and Orders of magnitude (temperature)
Potential energy
In physics, potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors. Thermal energy and potential energy are forms of energy.
See Thermal energy and Potential energy
Sensible heat
Sensible heat is heat exchanged by a body or thermodynamic system in which the exchange of heat changes the temperature of the body or system, and some macroscopic variables of the body or system, but leaves unchanged certain other macroscopic variables of the body or system, such as volume or pressure.
See Thermal energy and Sensible heat
Standard enthalpy of reaction
The standard enthalpy of reaction (denoted \Delta H_^\ominus) for a chemical reaction is the difference between total product and total reactant molar enthalpies, calculated for substances in their standard states.
See Thermal energy and Standard enthalpy of reaction
State function
In the thermodynamics of equilibrium, a state function, function of state, or point function for a thermodynamic system is a mathematical function relating several state variables or state quantities (that describe equilibrium states of a system) that depend only on the current equilibrium thermodynamic state of the system (e.g. Thermal energy and state function are thermodynamic properties.
See Thermal energy and State function
Statistical mechanics
In physics, statistical mechanics is a mathematical framework that applies statistical methods and probability theory to large assemblies of microscopic entities.

Temperature
Temperature is a physical quantity that quantitatively expresses the attribute of hotness or coldness. Thermal energy and Temperature are thermodynamic properties.
