Depression and addiction, for example, have several things in common, including: 1  Loss of interest in once-enjoyable activities. 2  Fatigue. 3  Feelings of hopelessness. 4  Reckless behavior. 5  Irritability.
Deflection Temperature Testing of Plastics. The deflection temperature is a measure of a polymer's ability to bear a given load at elevated temperatures. The deflection temperature is also known as the 'deflection temperature under load' (DTUL), 'heat deflection temperature', or 'heat distortion temperature' (HDT).
Thermal Diffusivity. a physical parameter of a substance that characterizes the rate of change of its temperature in transient thermal processes. Thermal diffusivity is a measure of the thermal-inertia properties of a substance. It is numerically equal to the ratio of the substanceâs thermal conductivity and the product of its specific heat (at constant pressure) and density. Thermal diffusivity is expressed in m 2 /sec.
