| heat flow rate | how much energy moves per unit time |
| BTU stands for | British Thermal Unit |
| QH | Formula symbol for heat flow |
| Q | Formula symbol for heat energy |
| k | formula symbol for thermal conductivity constant |
| A | formula symbol for area |
| Delta T | formula symbol for temperature difference |
| l | formula symbol for uniform thickness of the substance |
| calorie | amount of heat energy required to raise 1 gram water by 1 degree C |
| BTU definition | amount of heat energy required to raise 1 lb. water by 1 degree F |
| Q = m X C X delta T | Formula for heat transfer |
| QH = Q/t | Formula for heat-flow rate |
| C | formula symbol for specific heat |
| specific heat | how many heat energy units is required to raise 1 gram of substance by 1 degree C |
| heat capacity | amount of heat energy required to rase temp of mass by one degree |
| sensible heat | heat applied and temp change occurs |
| latent heat | heat applied and no temp change occurs |
| when latent heat occurs | state change is taking place |
| Transfer of energy continues until | equilibrium occurs |
