What are free and thermal neutrons?

A free neutron is any neutron not bound into an atomic nucleus. A thermal neutron is a free neutron having about the same kinetic energy as the thermal vibrations of atoms at ordinary temperatures, roughly under 2eV (0.025eV at room temperature).


What is heat the form of?

Heat, also known as thermal energy, appears in atoms as their subatomic vibrations. The more an atom is vibrating, the hotter it is.

What energy travels through empty space to warm the earth?

Since we are talking about warming, what you are looking for is heat or more properly thermal energy, But there is a problem as thermal energy cannot travel through empty space as this form of energy is defined in terms of the vibrations of matter at the atomic/molecular level.What travels through empty space and when it arrives on earth produces these vibrations in matter that will warm the earth is electromagnetic radiation, primarily radiation in the infrared and visible light bands. The energy in this radiation is electromagnetic in nature and is cyclicly exchanged back and forth between the electric and magnetic fields of the wave.


What is the name for thermal energy that is transferred from a higher temperature to a lower temperature?

Thermal energy always flows from higher temperature to lower temperature. This is the nature of heat.


What are the major disadvantages of thermal mass flowmeters?

There are no major disadvantages of thermal mass flow meter as compared to its advantages. But cons of thermal mass flow meter includes: Not effective in Vibrations and turbulence You should install flow straightener with flow meter Periodic cleaning needed


Is it true that thermal energy is the total energy of particles in a material?

No, There could be atomic states (optically excited electronic energy levels of atoms, and of semiconductors for example) that can store energy which is not regarded as heat (which can be sensed by a thermometer). Magnets can store lots of energy which is not thermal. Thermal energy is the energy which is stored as vibrations of atoms and molecules, detected by a thermometer of some kind.
