HF has various meanings in the Chemistry category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of HF in Chemistry.
Heat flux is defined as the amount of heat transferred per unit area per unit time from or to a surface. In a basic sense it is a derived quantity since it involves, in principle, two quantities that is the amount of heat transfer per unit time and the area from/to which this heat transfer takes place.
ChemistryHydrogen fluoride is a chemical compound with the chemical formula HF. This colorless gas or liquid is the principal industrial source of fluorine, often in the aqueous form as hydrofluoric acid, and thus is the precursor to many important compounds including pharmaceuticals and polymers (for example Teflon). Hydrogen fluoride is widely used in the petrochemical industry and is a component of many super acids.
