- Company Profile:
The flow of heat from one area to another by conduction, convection, and/or radiation. Heat flows naturally from a warmer to a cooler material or space.
Industry:Energy
The flow rate in these systems is 1/8 to 1/5 the rate of most solar water heating systems. The low-flow systems take advantage of stratification in the storage tank and theoretically allows for the use of smaller diameter piping to and from the collector and a smaller pump.
Industry:Energy
The fluid, liquid (water or water/antifreeze solution) or air, used to absorb solar energy and transfer it for direct use, indirect heating of interior air or domestic water, and/or to a heat storage medium.
Industry:Energy
The force per unit area acting on the surface of a solid boundary parallel to the flow.
Industry:Energy
The fundamental constituent of all vegetative tissue; the most abundant material in the world.
Industry:Energy
The gas resulting from the combustion of a fuel that is emitted to the flue.
Industry:Energy
The generation of an electric current, when two conductors of different metals are joined at their ends to form a circuit, with the two junctions kept at different temperatures.
