    Category: Management in the public and private sector

  • heat: a form of energy which is exchanged between a system and its environment or between two parts of the system subject to a temperature difference existing between them
    Category: Mechanical engineering

  • heat-activated: dry adhesive that is rendered tacky or fluid by application of heat,or heat and pressure,to the assembly
    Category: General

  • heat-dissipating: For the purpose of climatic testing,a specimen is considered heat-dissipating when the hottest point on its surface,measured in free air conditions,is more than 5å C above the ambient temperature of the surrounding atmosphere after temperature stability has been reached.
    Category: Management in the public and private sector

  • heat-sensitive: easily affected by heat
    Category: Various industries and crafts

  • heat-set: letterpress and lithographic inks which dry fast under the action of heat by evaporation of their high boiling solvent
    Category: Printing and publishing

  • heat-setting: In order to ensure that the crimp is not readily removed by tensions imposed in these processes,the fibre may be set to impart permanency of crimp
    Category: Various industries and crafts

  • heat-shield: usually non-structural layer protecting primary structure from high-temperature environment which would degrade strength such as around aeroplane afterburners, at base of large rocket vehicle and, especially, over upstream face of body on re-entry
    Category: Mechanical engineering

  • heat-shrinkable: a polymeric material capable of being reduced in size when exposed to heat
    Category: Electrical engineering and energy

  • heat-treated: either drinking milk intended for sale to the final consumer and to institutions,obtained by heat treatment and presented in the forms defined in Annex C,Chapter 1.A.4(a),(b),(c)and(d)or milk treated by pasteurization for sale in bulk at the request of the individual consumer
    Category: agriculture, fisheries, forestry - food processing industries

  • heate: characteristic flavour of oils caused by excessive and/or prolonged heating during processing,particularly when the paste is thermally mixed,if this is done under unsuitable conditions
    Category: agriculture, fisheries, forestry - food processing industries

  • heate: a bed of soil in a low glass frame heated by fermenting manure or by other means and used for forcing or for raising early seedlings
    Category: agriculture, fisheries, forestry - food processing industries

  • heated: characteristic flavour of oils caused by excessive and/or prolonged heating during processing,particularly when the paste is thermally mixed,if this is done under unsuitable conditions
    Category: agriculture, fisheries, forestry - food processing industries

  • heater: an electrically heated element for supplying heat to an indirectly heated cathode
    Category: Electrical engineering and energy

  • heater: an assembly incorporating one or more heating elements
    Category: Electrical engineering and energy

  • heater: An appliance used for raising the temperature,e.g.of air(in all accommodation space),of water(used for washing),of fuel oil(preparatory to burning),etc.
    Category: agriculture, fisheries, forestry - food processing industries

  • heater: a device which adds heat to the working medium
    Category: Mechanical engineering
