Ablating materials are used on the surfaces of some reentry vehicles to absorb heat by removal of mass, thus blocking the transfer of heat to the rest of the vehicle and maintaining temperatures within design limits. Ablating materials absorb heat by increasing in temperature and changing in chemical or physical state. The heat is carried away from the surface by a loss of mass(liquid or vapor). The departing mass also blocks part of the convective heat transfer to the remaining material in the same manner as transpiration cooling. 1, record 1, English, - ablating%20material

Peat moss, sphagnum etc. used for packing roots should be new and clean. Seedlings at the stage of active growth may rot by respiratory heat or overmoisture from transpiration. Adequate use of packing material is important for these kinds of plants. 1, record 2, English, - respiratory%20heat

Tomatoes destined for distant markets or tomatoes in the pink or light red stage should be cooled immediately after harvest to avoid becoming overripe before reaching the consumer. Placing containers of warm tomatoes in a refrigerated space, known as room cooling, is recommended. To aid room cooling and prevent the buildup of heat of respiration, containers of tomatoes should be loosely stacked with space between the containers to allow for sufficient air circulation. 4, record 2, English, - respiratory%20heat

Chaleur de respiration : certains produits vivants comme les fruits et légumes continuent à vivre malgré le fait qu'ils soient entreposés. Nous pouvons connaître la quantité de BTU émis grâce à des chartes [...] En fait, le gain de BTU émis dans la chambre par le phénomène de chaleur de respiration est fonction du type de produits, mais aussi de la température d'entreposage. 1, record 2, French, - chaleur%20de%20respiration

La respiration [est une] réaction [qui] libère de l'énergie utilisable par la plante. La respiration se manifeste extérieurement par l'existence de deux flux gazeux : pénétration d'oxygène et rejet de gaz carbonique. L'intensité respiratoire se mesure par le volume d'oxygène absorbé ou de gaz carbonique dégagé par la plante [...] 2, record 2, French, - chaleur%20de%20respiration
