Matter is in its ground state, and contains no thermal energy.
This was the first supply of thermal energy by a nuclear power station.
The heat of fusion is used to release the thermal energy.
Any addition of thermal energy results in a phase transition.
The object would be described as having zero thermal energy.
The most common form of excitation is by thermal energy.
As a result, more thermal energy is converted in insects.
No qualitative difference exists between the thermal energy added by other means.
Sensible heat therefore only increases the thermal energy of a system.
Thermal energy can be stored in the temperature of an object.
