Simply: Losing energy to the outside of a system.
For example:
During the winter months a home is kept much warmer that the outside air. If the furnace/boiler were switched off the house would cool down. The heat energy that was trapped inside the home would dissipate to the ambient air.

How much heat is in 1000 watts?
1,000 joules of heat energy for every second that the 1,000 watts' dissipation continues.
What heat dissipation mechanism is lost when humidity approaches 100 percent?
Sweating is no longer efficient near 100 percent humidity.
What is evaporation dessication?
Evaporation is when a liquid is absorbed into the atmosphere. Dissipation can refer to any sort of substance spreading out.
Why do computers and televisions have vents?
Electronics generate heat when the electrons are energizing the circuits. Some circuits require heat dissipation in order to extend their life span of usage.
What is 250 hz converted to watts?
There is no way to convert 250 hz into Watts. Hertz refers to the frequency (cycles) of a signal. A Watt is a unit of power dissipation. No relationship . . . no conversion!
What is an antistatic property?
the fast dissipation of static electricity (static charge).
What are the different types of power dissipation?
static power dissipation dynamic power dissipation short circuit power dissipation
Why do dissipitation trails form?
i mean dissipation i mean dissipation i mean dissipation
Can alcohol alter heat dissipation?
Either consumed or applied to the skin, alcohol increases heat dissipation.
What is shock dissipation?
No...I can't answer it :)
What is the dissipation formula for sound and distance?
Scroll down to related links and look at "Damping of Air of High Frequencies (Dissipation)".
How did heat end?
It ended in dissipation.
Repetition is to monotony as dissipation is to?
Evanescence?
What is the mathematical relationship between heat dissipation and applied voltage?
Heat dissipation = (applied voltage)2 / total effective resistance of the circuit
What is the key difference between old computers and the present day computers?
vacuum tubes, large sized, high power dissipation, high voltagestransistors, medium sized, medium power dissipation, low voltagesintegrated circuits, small size, medium power dissipation, low voltagesmicroprocessors, very small size, low power dissipation, low voltages
Can power dissipation be prevented?
A: All devices have some kind of power dissipation. That is because some quiescent current must flow to keep them alive or functional
What is the formula to calculate power dissipation?
P=ir2
