Thermal diffusion
Thermal diffusion may refer to:
- Diffusion in a temperature gradient, also called thermodiffusion or thermophoresis.
- It can be used as an obsolete method of making enriched uranium (see enriched uranium ยง thermal diffusion).
- Thermal diffusion can be used to measure fluid flow including perfusion and rCBF at one location over time.
- Brownian motion (at a constant non-zero absolute temperature).
See also:
- Molecular diffusion
- Heat conduction (i.e., diffusion of heat)
Usage examples of "thermal diffusion".
The calculation had been one of the trickiest parts of stalk design, a bewildering maze of orbital dynamics, nonlinear elasticity and thermal diffusion.
