A solid fuel produced by shredding municipal solid waste (MSW). Noncombustible materials such as glass and metals are generally removed prior to making RDF. The residual material is sold as-is or compressed into pellets, bricks, or logs. RDF processing fa ...

The process of desiccants being regenerated by water being driven off the desiccant. Hot air or gas passes through the desiccant bed, heating it. As a result, the partial pressure of the water vapor becomes higher than that in the regenerating air. Water ...

A type of cooling system that uses a charging and discharging cycle with a thermal or latent heat storage subsystem.

The process of using heat that is rejected in one part of a cycle for another function or in another part of the cycle.

The writing component of a recording instrument.

The country in which the vessel is registered.

The ship's certificate determining the ownership and nationality of the vessel. Relieving tackle

An automatic or manual device designed to control pressure, flow or temperature.

Heat exchangers for raising the temperature of compressed air to increase its volume.

The replacement of a non-functional or ineffective lamp with a new, more efficient lamp.

A group of points to which rates are made the same as or in relation to rates to other points in group.

Direction or bearing of an object relative to a boat's heading.

The ratio of clearance volume to the volume swept by the compressing element.

See evaporative opportunity.

A measure of the percent of moisture actually in the air compared with what would be in it if it were fully saturated at that temperature. When the air is fully saturated, its relative humidity is 100 percent.

The ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the amount of water vapor present in a given volume of air at a given temperature to the amount required to saturate the air at that temperature.

The ratio of the existing amount of water vapor in the air at a given temperature to the maximum amount that could exist at that temperature. Usually expressed in percent.

The ratio of the actual water-vapor partial pressure to its saturation pressure at the same temperature. (considered only with atmospheric air).

The ratio of the vapor pressure to the saturated vapor pressure at the temperature considered.

To transfer containers from one ship to another when both vessels are controlled by the same network (carrier) manager.
