Convection — This figure shows a calculation for thermal convection in the Earth s mantle. Colors closer to red are hot areas and colors closer to blue are cold areas. A hot, less dense lower boundary layer sends plumes of hot material upwards, and likewise,… … Wikipedia
convection — convectional, adj. /keuhn vek sheuhn/, n. 1. Physics. the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. 2. Meteorol. the vertical transport of atmospheric properties, esp. upward (distinguished from… … Universalium
Air conditioner — For general aspects of air conditioning, see Air conditioning. A typical home air conditioning unit. An air conditioner (often referred to as AC) is a home appliance, system, or mechanism designed to dehumidify and extract heat from an area. The… … Wikipedia

Natural convection — Bénard cells. Natural convection is a mechanism, or type of heat transport, in which the fluid motion is not generated by any external source (like a pump, fan, suction device, etc.) but only by density differences in the fluid occurring due to… … Wikipedia
Solar air conditioning — refers to any air conditioning (cooling) system that uses solar power. This can be done through passive solar, photovoltaic conversion (sun to electricity), or solar thermal energy conversion. The U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act of… … Wikipedia
Gravitational convection — is a general term for buoyancy induced convection in a gravity field, especially that not due directly to heat. Examples Gravitational heat convection is the same as free convection or natural convection. However, differential buoyancy forces… … Wikipedia
cooling system — Apparatus used to keep the temperature of a structure or device from exceeding limits imposed by needs of safety and efficiency. In a mechanical transmission, the oil loses its lubricating capacity if overheated; in a hydraulic coupling or… … Universalium
