OEO Ontology

Overview / Open Energy Ontology / Class - energy transfer
Label: energy transfer
Definition:
Energy transfer is a quality process in which a kind of energy is decreased in one bearer and the same kind of energy is increased in another bearer.

Sub classes:
electricity conduction
view
Definition:
Electricity conduction is an energy transfer in which electrical energy is transmitted within a material entity or object aggregat, e.g. a cable.

heat conduction
view
Definition:
Heat conduction is an energy transfer in which thermal energy is transmitted within a material entity or object aggregat.

heat convection
view
Definition:
Heat convection is an energy transfer in which thermal energy is transported within flowing gaseous or liquid material entities.

radiation
view
Definition:
A radiation process is an energy transfer that transmits radiative energy as electromagnetic waves. The transfer does not necessarily occur within a material entity.

Back to the super classes:
quality transfer
view
Definition:
Quality transfer is a process in which one quality is decreased in one bearer and, causally interconnected, another quality that inheres in a different bearer is increased.
