But combustion is an exothermic reaction, meaning it releases heat. Lots of it. And while much of this heat escapes through the tail pipe, the heat that remains in the engine block needs to be absorbed, transported, and dissipated to protect the metal components from deforming or even melting. This is where the cooling system comes in.

And your body can dissipate the heat as quickly as it's generated through cooling methods like the evaporation of sweat. But with uncompensable heat stress, your body is unable to lose enough heat due to overexertion or high temperatures in humidity, which raises your core temperature beyond normal levels.

Sunscreen protects your skin either physically by deflecting UV rays with an inorganic blocker like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, or chemically by using carbon-based compounds to absorb UV photons that are then harmlessly dissipated as heat. So, what differentiates one sunscreen from another?

Quote examples
Lawrence M. Krauss
American Physicist
Local order in parts of the universe is always possible at the expense of heat and disorder dissipated to the external environment. The human body is one example: we take in energy from our environment to build up complex molecules that help power our bodies, and, in doing so, we release heat to the world around us.
Quote examples
Ralph W. Sockman
American Leader
Good habits, which bring our lower passions and appetites under automatic control, leave our natures free to explore the larger experiences of life. Too many of us divide and dissipate our energies in debating actions which should be taken for granted.
Quote examples
Ruth Negga
Ethiopian Actress
When you connect to someone on a human level, and you get to know about them, you can begin to love the things that make them different. That's when fear dissipates, and that's when we can live the life that we're all supposed to be living.
Quote examples
Ryuichi Sakamoto
Japanese Composer
I'm fascinated by the notion of a perpetual sound: a sound that won't dissipate over time. Essentially, the opposite of a piano, because the notes never fade. I suppose, in literary terms, it would be like a metaphor for eternity.
Quote examples
Og Mandino
American Author

Quote examples
Jordan Peterson
Canadian Psychologist
Once someone has spent enough time cultivating bad habits and biding their time, they are much diminished. Much of what they could have been has dissipated.
Quote examples

American President

Quote examples
Frances Burney
English Novelist
The mind is but too naturally prone to pleasure, but too easily yielded to dissipation.
