Definition that contains kinetic energy
- transport an exchange of molecules (and their kinetic energy and momentum) across the boundary between adjacent layers of a fluid or across cell membranes
- accelerator a scientific instrument that increases the kinetic energy of charged particles
- turbine rotary engine in which the kinetic energy of a moving fluid is converted into mechanical energy by causing a bladed rotor to rotate
- flywheel regulator consisting of a heavy wheel that stores kinetic energy and smooths the operation of a reciprocating engine
- particle accelerator a scientific instrument that increases the kinetic energy of charged particles
- atom smasher a scientific instrument that increases the kinetic energy of charged particles
- hydraulic pump a water pump that uses the kinetic energy of flowing water to force a small fraction of that water to a reservoir at a higher level
- hydraulic ram a water pump that uses the kinetic energy of flowing water to force a small fraction of that water to a reservoir at a higher level
- absolute zero (cryogenics) the lowest temperature theoretically attainable (at which the kinetic energy of atoms and molecules is minimal); 0 Kelvin or -273.15 centigrade or -459.67 Fahrenheit
- kinetic theory of heat a theory that the temperature of a body increases when kinetic energy increases
