  2. Lenz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz's_law

    The induced magnetic field inside any loop of wire always acts to keep the magnetic flux in the loop constant. The direction of an induced current can be determined using the right-hand rule to show which direction of current flow would create a magnetic field that would oppose the direction of changing flux through the loop. [ 8 ]

  3. Hyperthermia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthermia

    An early stage of hyperthermia can be "heat exhaustion" (or "heat prostration" or "heat stress"), whose symptoms can include heavy sweating, rapid breathing and a fast, weak pulse. If the condition progresses to heat stroke, then hot, dry skin is typical [ 2 ] as blood vessels dilate in an attempt to increase heat loss.

  4. Induction heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_heating

    Component of Stirling radioisotope generator is heated by induction during testing. Induction heating is the process of heating electrically conductive materials, namely metals or semi-conductors, by electromagnetic induction, through heat transfer passing through an inductor that creates an electromagnetic field within the coil to heat up and possibly melt steel, copper, brass, graphite, gold ...

  5. Human thermoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_thermoregulation

    Simplified control circuit of human thermoregulation. [8]The core temperature of a human is regulated and stabilized primarily by the hypothalamus, a region of the brain linking the endocrine system to the nervous system, [9] and more specifically by the anterior hypothalamic nucleus and the adjacent preoptic area regions of the hypothalamus.

  6. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    The induced B-field increases the flux on this side of the circuit, opposing the decrease in flux due to r the rotation. The energy required to keep the disc moving, despite this reactive force, is exactly equal to the electrical energy generated (plus energy wasted due to friction , Joule heating , and other inefficiencies).

  7. Combined forced and natural convection - Wikipedia

    The second case is when natural convection acts in the opposite way of the forced convection. Consider a fan forcing air upward over a cold plate. [5] In this case, the buoyant force of the cold air naturally causes it to fall, but the air being forced upward opposes this natural motion.

    El Niño’s disappearing act doesn’t mean relief from the heat. Not when the world is heating up due to human-driven climate change. In fact, forecasters think it could mean the opposite.

  9. Exothermic reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exothermic_reaction

    The measured heat energy released in an exothermic reaction is converted to ΔH⚬ in Joule per mole (formerly cal/mol). The standard enthalpy change Δ H ⚬ is essentially the enthalpy change when the stoichiometric coefficients in the reaction are considered as the amounts of reactants and products (in mole); usually, the initial and final ...
