- 4. A measure of how well a system converts heat into useful work or energy.
- 7. The branch of physics that deals with the relationships between heat and other forms of energy.
- 8. A device that automatically regulates temperature.
- 9. A transition between different states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) due to heat transfer.
- 11. A material's ability to conduct heat.
- 12. The heat required to change the state of a substance (e.g., from solid to liquid) without changing its temperature.
- 14. Material or methods used to reduce the rate of heat transfer.
- 15. Heat energy stored within the Earth, often used for heating or electricity generation.
- 16. The amount of heat energy that must be removed from a space to maintain a desired temperature.
- 17. A device that transfers heat energy from a source to a destination.
- 19. The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance.
- 20. The transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves.

- 1. A device that transfers heat from one medium to another without mixing the two.
- 2. The tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature.
- 3. The amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1°C.
- 5. A substance used in a cooling system to absorb heat and produce cooling.
- 6. A measure of heat energy. One BTU is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by 1°F.
- 10. The transfer of heat through a material by direct contact of particles.
- 13. The transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid (liquid or gas).
- 18. A method of heating where heat is transmitted directly from a hot surface to an object without heating the intervening air.
