Definition of thermal capacity in English: thermal capacitynoun The number of heat units needed to raise the temperature of a body by one degree. Example sentencesExamples - The water has quite a high thermal capacity and because of the wind, any extra heat is distributed across the upper layer.
- The time constant depends on both thermal conductivity and thermal capacity of the body itself, and the rate at which heat exchanges with the environment.
- The thermal capacity of materials changes slightly with temperature primarily due to changes in density, and very dramatically at phase transitions, such as ice melting and water boiling.
- Massive rammed earth walls often 2ft thick provide insulation and thermal capacity to combat a climate that can be both very hot during the day and pretty cold at night.
- This is because the thermal capacity of the oceans is very much greater than that of the land.
- The high thermal capacity of materials such as concrete, brick and stone enables them to store and re-radiate heat, reducing energy consumption, air conditioning and carbon dioxide emissions.
- The nature of such buildings favors the use of space heating, rather than structural heating that exploits high thermal capacity.
- Undersuits powered by a battery the size of a cigarette case, and with thermal capacities that prevent the possibility of over-heating, are now being developed for a range of extreme sports.
