One thousand kilowatts, or 1 million watts; standard measure of electric power plant generating capacity.
Industry:Energy
Open-loop (also known as "direct") systems circulate water drawn from a ground or surface water source. Once the heat has been transferred into or out of the water, the water is returned to a well or surface discharge (instead of being recirculated through the system). This option is practical where there is an adequate supply of relatively clean water, and all local codes and regulations regarding groundwater discharge are met.
Industry:Energy
Parasitic resistance to current flow in a cell due to mechanisms such as resistance from the bulk of the semiconductor material, metallic contacts, and interconnections.
Industry:Energy
Period of time a system or appliance (or component of) is expected to function at its nominal or design capacity without major repair.
Industry:Energy
Plant-like organisms with cells with distinct nuclei surrounded by nuclear membranes, incapable of photosynthesis. Fungi are decomposers of waste organisms and exist as yeast, mold, or mildew.
Industry:Energy
