This behavior of notable importance for the study of systems involving the physical interactions of multiple bodies including granular matter, electrode contacts, and thermal contacts.

IBM developed three generations of the Thermal Conduction Module ( TCM ) which used a water-cooled cold plate in direct thermal contact with integrated circuit packages.
23.
The passive ( cold ) junctions of the thermopile are fully protected from solar radiation and in thermal contact with the pyranometer housing, which serves as a heat-sink.
24.
:When you lie down on the floor, you will make thermal contact with the floor, the part of the clothes in contact with the floor will cool down.
25.
Thermal insulation is the reduction of heat transfer ( the transfer of thermal energy between objects of differing temperature ) between objects in thermal contact or in range of radiative influence.
26.
Heat is removed from the heat-sink by convection, to some extent by conduction if the heat-sink is in thermal contact with, say, the metal case.
27.
The thermal contact resistance of certain sandwich kinds of materials that are manufactured by rolling under high temperatures may sometimes be ignored because the decrease in thermal conductivity between them is negligible.
28.
Rather this concept of negative temperature refers to configurations that are thermodynamically unnatural and unstable in such a way that they will always lost energy when brought into thermal contact with normal systems.
29.
Heat is defined as energy transferred by thermal contact with a reservoir, which has a temperature, and is generally so large that addition and removal of heat do not alter its temperature.
30.
In such a situation, the object acts as the " capacitative " circuit element, and the resistance of the thermal contact at the boundary acts as the ( single ) thermal resistor.
