The difference between the total cooling effect and the dehumidifying effect.

The total amount of electric energy loss in an electric system between the generation source and points of delivery.

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.

Energy generated from an electromagnetic field produced by an electric current flowing through a superconducting wire kept at a specific low temperature.

As time increases from zero at the terminals of an inductor, the voltage comes to a particular value on the sine function curve ahead of the current. The voltage reaches its negative peak exactly 90 degrees before the current reaches its negative peak thu ...

A device for measuring power consumption.

The angle at which a solar collector or module is set to face the sun relative to a horizontal position. The tilt angle can be set or adjusted to maximize seasonal or annual energy collection.

A term applied to warm-air heating systems that deliver heated air to rooms by means of registers or baseboards located along exterior walls.

A machine for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy by magneto-electric induction; may be used as a motor.

Classifications of fires developed by the National Fire Protection Association.

A term generally applied to individual solar collectors, and typically to solar photovoltaic collectors or modules.

Energy that comes from splitting atoms of radioactive materials, such as uranium, and which produces radioactive wastes.

A device used to transfer heat from a fluid (liquid or gas) to another fluid where the two fluids are physically separated.

The average power output of a wind energy conversion system at a given mean wind speed based on a Raleigh frequency distribution.

SMES technology uses the superconducting characteristics of low-temperature materials to produce intense magnetic fields to store energy. SMES has been proposed as a storage option to support large-scale use of photovoltaics and wind as a means to smooth ...

Energy available from the movement of the wind across a landscape caused by the heating of the atmosphere, earth, and oceans by the sun.

A heat exchanger in which heat is recovered from the products of combustion.

A solar thermal system that has one tank for storing solar heated water to preheat the water in a conventional water heater.

The amount of kinetic energy gained by an electron when accelerated through an electric potential difference of 1 Volt; equivalent to 1.603 x 10

Wood, used for fuel, that has been air dried so that it contains 15 to 20 percent moisture content (wet basis).
