  2. Blocking (textile arts) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_(textile_arts)

    Unblocked lace stole still on the needles. This item will expand significantly after pinning and blocking. Blocking can be done in several different ways. Depending on the method, the crafter may use rustproof pins, blocking wires, blocking combs, wool wash, a wash basing or sink, a spray bottle, a steamer, or a steam iron.

  3. Closure temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_temperature

    In radiometric dating, closure temperature or blocking temperature refers to the temperature of a system, such as a mineral, at the time given by its radiometric date.In physical terms, the closure temperature is the temperature at which a system has cooled so that there is no longer any significant diffusion of the parent or daughter isotopes out of the system and into the external ...

    Araucanos and Huasos in Chile, 19th century. A market scene Ruana in Bogotá, circa 1860. A Peruvian chalán dancing marinera on a Peruvian Paso horse.. A poncho (Spanish pronunciation:; Quechua: punchu; Mapudungun: pontro; "blanket", "woolen fabric") [1] [2] [3] is a kind of plainly formed, loose outer garment originating in the Americas, traditionally and still usually made of fabric, and ...

  5. Textile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile

    Material is an extremely broad term basically meaning consisting of matter, and requires context to be useful. A textile is any material made of interlacing fibers, including carpeting and geotextiles , which may not necessarily be used in the production of further goods, such as clothing and upholstery .

  6. Heat transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer

    Earth's longwave thermal radiation intensity, from clouds, atmosphere and surface. Heat transfer is the energy exchanged between materials (solid/liquid/gas) as a result of a temperature difference. The thermodynamic free energy is the amount of work that a thermodynamic system can perform.

  7. Thermal stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_stress

    Material will expand or contract depending on the material's thermal expansion coefficient. As long as the material is free to move, the material can expand or contract freely without generating stresses. Once this material is attached to a rigid body at multiple locations, thermal stresses can be created in the geometrically constrained region.

  8. Thermal barrier coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_barrier_coating

    Thermal barrier coating (colored white) on a turbine guide vane in a V2500 turbofan engine. Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are advanced materials systems usually applied to metallic surfaces on parts operating at elevated temperatures, such as gas turbine combustors and turbines, and in automotive exhaust heat management.

  9. Thermal bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_bridge

    Temperature distribution in a thermal bridge This thermal image shows a thermal bridging of a high-rise building (Aqua in Chicago). A thermal bridge, also called a cold bridge, heat bridge, or thermal bypass, is an area or component of an object which has higher thermal conductivity than the surrounding materials, [1] creating a path of least resistance for heat transfer.
