heatingdriven
Heatingdriven is an adjective used in technical literature to describe processes or systems whose dynamics are governed primarily by heat transfer or thermal energy gradients. In this usage, thermal effects—rather than mechanical actuation or electronic control—set the evolution of the system. The term is not universally standardized but appears in discussions of thermally controlled actuation, energy conversion, and phase change phenomena.
The core mechanism involves temperature fields created by heating or cooling. Heat conduction, convection, and radiation
Applications include thermal actuation in microelectromechanical systems, where localized heating causes expansion or wettability changes to
Modeling and measurement rely on coupled heat transfer and fluid dynamics frameworks. The governing equations include
