Temperature-responsive polymer — A temperature responsive polymer is a polymer which undergoes a physical change when external thermal stimuli are presented. The ability to undergo such changes under easily controlled conditions makes this class of polymers fall into the… … Wikipedia
Temperature dependence of liquid viscosity — The temperature dependence of liquid viscosity is the phenomenon by which liquid viscosity tends to fall (or, alternatively, its fluidity tends to increase) as its temperature increases. This can be observed, for example, by watching how cooking… … Wikipedia
Limited slip differential — A limited slip differential (LSD) is a modified or derived type of differential gear arrangement that allows for some difference in rotational velocity of the output shafts, but does not allow the difference in speed to increase beyond a preset… … Wikipedia
Negative temperature — In physics, certain systems can achieve negative temperatures; that is, their thermodynamic temperature can be a negative quantity. Negative temperatures can be expressed as negative numbers on the kelvin scale. Temperatures that are expressed as … Wikipedia
Noise-equivalent temperature — (NET) is a measure of the sensitivity of a detector of thermal radiation in the infrared, terahertz or microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is the amount of incident signal temperature that would be needed to match the internal… … Wikipedia
