"entransy" meaning in English

See entransy in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Forms: entransies [plural]
Etymology: Blend of en[ergy] + trans[fer] + [abilit]y, introduced on 26 February 2007 by a research group at Tsinghua University led by Professor Guo as a basis for optimizing heat transfer processes (Guo, Zeng-Yuan; Zhu, Hong-Ye; Liang, Xin-Gang. Entransy—a physical quantity describing heat transfer ability International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, no. 50, pp. 2545–56, available online 26 February 2007). A descriptive concept of entransy, but without using the term ‘entransy’, was first proposed by Professor Guo's group in February 2003 as ‘heat transport potential capacity’. Etymology templates: {{blend|en|energy|transfer|ability|alt1=en􂀿ergy􂁀|alt2=trans􂀿fer􂁀|alt3=􂀿abilit􂁀y}} Blend of en[ergy] + trans[fer] + [abilit]y Head templates: {{en-noun|~}} entransy (countable and uncountable, plural entransies)
  1. (thermodynamics) Half the product of internal thermal energy and temperature. For a given temperature difference, maximization of the entransy dissipation results in the maximum heat flux and thus corresponds to the optimal heat conduction performance.
