Distributed generation
Distributed generation is a new trend in the generation of heat and electrical power. The concept permits the "consumer", who is generating heat or electricity for their own needs, to send their ... > more -
Richter magnitude scale
The Richter magnitude test scale (or more correctly local magnitude ML scale) assigns a single number to quantify the size of an earthquake. It is a base-10 logarithmic scale obtained by calculating ... > more -
Absolute zero
Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature where nothing could be colder and no heat energy remains in a substance. Absolute zero is the point at which the fundamental particles of nature have ... > more -
Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that studies the effects of changes in temperature, pressure, and volume on physical systems at the macroscopic scale by analyzing the collective motion of their ... > more -
Three-phase electric power
Three-phase is a common method of electric power transmission. It is a type of polyphase system used to power motors and many other devices. Three phase has properties that make it very desirable in ... > more -
Constructal theory
The constructal theory of global optimization under local constraints explains in a simple manner the shapes that arise in nature. It is the thought that flow architecture comes from a principle of ... > more
