TERMINOLOGIES:
1. Dubring’s rule — states that the boiling point of a
solution is a linear function of water at the same
pressure.
2. Thermal Energy — the energy of a body that can be
transmitted in the form of heat.
3. Absorbent- a substance that is able to absorb
liquids or gases and is used for removing them from
a given medium or region.
4. Logarithmic Mean Temperature Difference — the
temperature potential between temperature at the
two ends of a heat exchanger.
5. Black Body — a theoretical body which when heated
to incandescence would emit a continuous light-ray
spectrum.
6. Gray Body — also known as the real body. It is a
body whose emissivity is less than 1.
7. Deaerator —a kind of heat exchanger where water
is heated to a point that dissolved gases are
liberated.
8. Kirchhoff’s Law of Radiation — the law which states
that the ratio of the emissive powers to
absorptivities are equal when the two bodies are in
thermal equilibrium.
9. Plank’s Law — All substances emits radiation, the
quantity and quality of which depends upon the
1|Pageabsolute temperature and the properties of the
material, composing the radiating body.
10. Thermograph — a device used to measure the
amount of infrared radiation in each portion of a
person’s skin that is emitted.
