  2. Temperature coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_coefficient

    Materials with a negative temperature coefficient have been used in floor heating since 1971. The negative temperature coefficient avoids excessive local heating beneath carpets, bean bag chairs, mattresses, etc., which can damage wooden floors, and may infrequently cause fires.

  3. Negative thermal expansion - Wikipedia

    2) and a number of zeolites also show NTE over certain temperature ranges. [13] [14] Fairly pure silicon (Si) has a negative coefficient of thermal expansion for temperatures between about 18 K and 120 K. [15] Cubic Scandium trifluoride has this property which is explained by the quartic oscillation of the fluoride ions. The energy stored in ...

  4. Joule–Thomson effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule–Thomson_effect

    The coefficient is negative at both very high and very low temperatures; at very high pressure it is negative at all temperatures. The maximum inversion temperature (621 K for N 2 [ 11 ] ) occurs as zero pressure is approached.

  5. Nickel–cadmium battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel–cadmium_battery

    One of the biggest disadvantages is that the battery exhibits a very marked negative temperature coefficient. This means that as the cell temperature rises, the internal resistance falls. This can pose considerable charging problems, particularly with the relatively simple charging systems employed for lead–acid type batteries.

  6. Negative temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_temperature

    Certain systems can achieve negative thermodynamic temperature; that is, their temperature can be expressed as a negative quantity on the Kelvin or Rankine scales. This should be distinguished from temperatures expressed as negative numbers on non- thermodynamic Celsius or Fahrenheit scales , which are nevertheless higher than absolute zero .

  7. Thermodynamic diagrams - Wikipedia

    For more accurate information, the height of the highest point, or the max pressure, to surpass the static friction would be proportional to the frictional coefficient and the slope going back down to the normal pressure would be the same as an isothermal process if the temperature was increased at a slow enough rate. [4]

  8. Inrush current limiter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current_limiter

    Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors and fixed resistors are often used to limit inrush current. NTC thermistors can be used as inrush-current limiting devices in power supply circuits when added in series with the circuit being protected. They present a higher resistance initially, which prevents large currents from flowing at ...
