• Atmospheric reentry [r]: The movement of human-made or natural objects as they enter the atmosphere of a planet from outer space, in the case of Earth from an altitude above the 'edge of space.' [e]
• Boiler [r]: A closed vessel in which water or other fluids are heated. [e]
• Choked flow [r]: A limiting point for the flow of a gas which occurs under specific conditions when the gas flows through a restriction (such as a valve, a convergent-divergent nozzle, the hole in an orifice plate, or a leak in a gas pipeline or other gas container) into a lower pressure environment. [e]
• Force [r]: Vector quantity that tends to produce an acceleration of a body in the direction of its application. [e]
• Gamma (Greek letter) [r]: The third letter of the Greek alphabet, written (upper-case) or (lower-case). [e]
• Heat capacity [r]: The measure of the heat energy required to increase the temperature of a unit quantity of a substance by a certain temperature interval. [e]
• Hydrogen [r]: The most abundant and lightest chemical element which has atomic number Z = 1 and chemical symbol H. [e]
• Ideal gas law [r]: Relates pressure, volume and temperature for hypothetical gases of atoms or molecules with negligible intermolecular forces. [e]
• Joseph Black [r]: (1728 – 1799) Scottish physicist and chemist, known for his discoveries of latent heat, specific heat, and carbon dioxide [e]
• K (letter) [r]: The eleventh letter of the English alphabet. [e]
• Kappa (Greek letter) [r]: The 10th letter of the Greek alphabet, written (upper case) and (lower case). [e]
• Mole (unit) [r]: An SI base unit useed to measure the physical amount of substance. [e]
• Physical chemistry [r]: The application of physics to macroscopic, microscopic, atomic, subatomic, and particulate phenomena in chemical systems within the field of chemistry traditionally using the principles, practices and concepts of thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics and kinetics. [e]
• Specific heat ratio [r]: The ratio of the specific heat of a gas at constant pressure, , to the specific heat at constant volume, , also sometimes called the adiabatic index or the heat capacity ratio or the isentropic expansion factor. [e]
• Tetraethyl lead [r]: A liquid with the chemical formula (CH₃CH₂)₄Pb, once widely used (circa 1925 to 1990) to increase the octane rating of gasoline (petrol). [e]
• Thermodynamics [r]: The statistical description of the properties of molecular systems [e]
• Water [r]: A chemical compound with one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms (H₂0). It is often in a liquid form and makes up the bulk of the oceans, lakes, rivers and living organisms. [e]
