Sentence examples for conduction from inspiring English sources

In the case of the SOFC anode, conductivity is accomplished by small polaron conduction between two valence states of the transition metal constituent.

The energy difference between the valence levels and the conduction band has a strong influence on the conductivity of these materials, with a smaller gap resulting in higher conduction at lower temperatures.

Heat loss through the ice takes place by conduction; designated ϕ in the figure, it is proportional to the thermal conductivity of the ice (ki) and to the temperature difference between the bottom and the top surface of the ice (Tm - Ts), and it is inversely proportional to the thickness of the ice (h).

HEAT, as every schoolboy (and schoolgirl) knows, moves in three ways: conduction, convection and radiation.

By 2005, the industry's most powerful processors will be running five to ten times hotter.Cooling chips that dissipate this much energy requires more than a bit of conduction and ventilation.

But the two researchers reckoned that suitably treated wood could do the job of conduction equally well while providing more yielding support for an electrode that was continually expanding and contracting as ions moved in and out of it.To test this idea, they used slivers of wood from yellow pines.

Mounted on a silicon wafer to keep it flat, held in a specially designed box made of Mylar, polythene, polystyrene, acrylic and wood, to minimise the conduction of heat into it from its surroundings, and then left outside on a sunny, albeit rather wintry Californian day, the photonic sheet settled down to a temperature 4.9°C cooler than its surroundings.

Copper's excellent conduction of electricity and heat means that it is used not only to cable and pipe the globe.

Today frostbite is much more common because so many Everest mountaineers just don't have Mallory and Irvine's high-altitude experience.Mallory had had two previous trips to perfect his preferred defences, even to the extent of choosing to have "as few nails in the boots as possible, to minimise conduction".

Until now, controlling the conduction of heat through solid objects has been a tricky engineering challenge.

Each material has a unique conduction mechanism.
