- English Word Thermochrosy Definition The property possessed by heat of being composed, like light, of rays of different degrees of refrangibility, which are unequal in rate or degree of transmission through diathermic substances.
- English Word Thermocurrent Definition A current, as of electricity, developed, or set in motion, by the action of heat.
- English Word Thermodynamic Definition Relating to thermodynamics; caused or operated by force due to the application of heat.
- English Word Thermodynamics Definition The science which treats of the mechanical action or relations of heat.
- English Word Thermoelectric Definition Pertaining to thermoelectricity; as, thermoelectric currents.
- English Word Thermoelectricity Definition Electricity developed in the action of heat. See the Note under Electricity.
- English Word Thermoelectrometer Definition An instrument for measuring the strength of an electric current in the heat which it produces, or for determining the heat developed by such a current.
- English Word Thermogen Definition Caloric; heat; regarded as a material but imponderable substance.

- English Word Thermolysis Definition The resolution of a compound into parts by heat; dissociation by heat.
- English Word Thermolyze Definition To subject to thermolysis; to dissociate by heat.
- English Word Thermomagnetism Definition Magnetism as affected or caused by the action of heat; the relation of heat to magnetism.
- English Word Thermometer Definition An instrument for measuring temperature, founded on the principle that changes of temperature in bodies are accompained by proportional changes in their volumes or dimensions.
- English Word Thermometric Definition Alt. of Thermometrical
- English Word Thermometrical Definition Of or pertaining to a thermometer; as, the thermometrical scale or tube.
