4、nsmittance.Terms Ending in “ion”Terms ending in “ion” designatetime rate of the process of transfer; flux, flow rate.Examples: Conduction and transmission.Transmission“Transmission,” “transmissivity,” “transmit-tance” usually refer to transfer by one or more of theprocesses of conduction, convection
5、, and radiation.Conduction“Conduction,” “conductivity,” “conductance”usually refer to transfer within a medium, and without bodilydisplacement as occurs with convection, and without transferat a distance as occurs with radiation.HEAT FLOW SYMBOLSA = areap = density; pounds, kilograms, etc., per unit
