  2. Grating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grating

    The grating profile is the function of the reflectance or transmittance perpendicular to the lines. This function is generally a square wave, in that every transition between lines is abrupt. A grating can be defined by six parameters: Spatial frequency is the number of cycles occupying a particular distance (e.g. 10 line pairs per millimeter ...

  3. Blazed grating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blazed_grating

    A special form of a blazed grating is the echelle grating. It is characterized by particularly large blaze angle (>45°). Therefore, the light hits the short legs of the triangular grating lines instead of the long legs. Echelle gratings are mostly manufactured with larger line spacing but are optimized for higher diffraction orders.

  4. Heating system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_system

    Distributed heating systems: These systems generate heat in the space they are to heat, without extensive duct systems. Examples include electric space heaters, fireplaces, and solar heating. [3] Heat pumps: They can be used for heating and cooling, transferring heat using refrigerant and electricity, making them more efficient than other ...

  5. Diffraction grating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_grating

    A blazed diffraction grating reflecting only the green portion of the spectrum from a room's fluorescent lighting. For a diffraction grating, the relationship between the grating spacing (i.e., the distance between adjacent grating grooves or slits), the angle of the wave (light) incidence to the grating, and the diffracted wave from the grating is known as the grating equation.

  6. Fibre-reinforced plastic tanks and vessels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre-reinforced_plastic...

    Dry media typically involved a dry, solid media (such as activated carbon) suspended in the middle of the vessel on a system of beam supports and grating. The media controls the concentration of a pollutant in the incoming gas via adsorption and absorption. These vessels have several design constraints. They must be designed for

  7. Echelle grating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echelle_grating

    An echelle grating (from French échelle, meaning "ladder") is a type of diffraction grating characterised by a relatively low groove density, but a groove shape which is optimized for use at high incidence angles and therefore in high diffraction orders. Higher diffraction orders allow for increased dispersion (spacing) of spectral features at ...

  8. Negative thermal expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_thermal_expansion

    Negative thermal expansion (NTE) is an unusual physicochemical process in which some materials contract upon heating, rather than expand as most other materials do. The most well-known material with NTE is water at 0 to 3.98 °C.

  9. Thermochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermochemistry

    Endothermic reactions absorb heat, while exothermic reactions release heat. Thermochemistry coalesces the concepts of thermodynamics with the concept of energy in the form of chemical bonds. The subject commonly includes calculations of such quantities as heat capacity, heat of combustion, heat of formation, enthalpy, entropy, and free energy.
