thermalizationThe process of reaching thermal equilibrium by mutual interaction.
thermalizeTo lower the speed and kinetic energy of fast neutrons in a nuclear reactor by use of a moderator, and thus increase the efficiency of fission
thermalizedBrought to a lower velocity and kinetic energy by use of a moderator.
thermanesthesiaThe inability to feel heat or cold; loss of sense of temperature upon contact with skin.
thermantidoteAn antidote to heat, especially a rotating fan attached to a window.
thermateA variation of thermite and is an incendiary pyrotechnic composition that can generate short bursts of very high temperatures focused on a small area for a short period of time.
thermionicsThe science dealing with thermionic emission.
thermistalRelating to, or equipped with a thermistor
thermistorA resistor whose resistance varies rapidly and predictably with temperature and as a result can be used to measure temperature.
thermitaseA peptidase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of proteins.
thermiteA mixture of a metal and a metal oxide capable of producing a thermite reaction, such as aluminium metal and ferric oxide; used in incendiary devices.
thermizationA method of sanitizing raw milk which uses temperatures lower than those used in pasteurization (63–65 °C).
thermizeTo treat (a food product) using thermization (a method of sanitizing raw milk which uses temperatures lower than those used in pasteurization).
thermoanesthesiaLoss of the ability to distinguish heat or cold by touch.
thermobalanceAn instrument that measures the change in weight of a sample while it is being heated.
thermoballingAn incident where honeybees surround a threat and cause it to die through high temperature.
thermoballisticSubject to both thermal and ballistic influences
thermobaricDescribing various weapons that use atmospheric oxygen to produce a blast wave of a significantly longer duration than those produced by condensed explosives.
thermobarographAn instrument for recording simultaneously the pressure and temperature of a gas; a combined thermograph and barograph.
thermobarometerAn instrument that measured altitudes via the boiling point of water.
thermobatteryA thermoelectric battery; a thermopile.
thermochromatographyA form of gas-liquid chromatography in which volatile materials are separated at gradually increasing temperatures.
thermochromeAny substance that changes colour as a result of a change in temperature.
thermochromicThat changes color on exposure to heat.
thermochromismThe reversible change of colour with temperature of some materials
thermochromyThe property possessed by heat of being composed, like light, of rays of different degrees of refrangibility, which are unequal in rate or degree of transmission through diathermic substances.
thermochronA device that records temperature (in thermochronology and thermochronometry)
