Causes of Enlarged Prostate. BPH is a benign (non-cancerous) enlargement of the prostate that is extremely common in older men. It is generally thought to be caused by years of exposure to male hormones like testosterone. While BPH is benign and cannot spread to other parts of the body, it can cause problems.
1 Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact between particles of a substance, without moving the particles to a new location.
Temperature vs. Thermal Energy temperature â average kinetic energy (energy of motion) or average speed of all the particles in a material a. higher temp. = particles move faster and farther apart b. lower temp. particles move slower and closer together thermal energy â total kinetic energy of all the particles in a material heat âenergy transferred between two objects of different temperature more molecules = more thermal energy 95Â°C 100Â°C heat transfer more thermal energy less thermal energy.
