Literature relating to the presence of ESL students in mainstream classes has suggested that some teachers view subject-related content mastery and second-language development as separate processes, with the latter seen as the responsibility of ESL-specialist teachers (Penfield, 1987).
Kinetic energy is the production of energy by an object in motion. There are three subcategories of kinetic energy, including vibrational, which is caused by objects vibrating; rotational, which is caused by moving objects; and translational, which is caused by objects hitting one another.
Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia. Heat transfer. Heat, a form of kinetic energy, is transferred in three ways: conduction, convection, and radiation. Heat transfer (also called thermal transfer) can occur only if a temperature difference exists, and then only in the direction of decreasing temperature. Beyond this, the mechanisms and laws governing each of these ways are quite different. See Conduction (heat), Convection (heat), Heat radiation. By utilizing a knowledge of the principles governing the three methods of heat transfer and by a proper selection and fabrication of materials, the designer attempts to obtain the required heat flow.
