  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. Grate heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grate_heater

    This is a large and powerful grate heater system that incorporates a large, thermally-conductive heating design along with a multi-blower, high-CFM, forced-air delivery system Another example of a large and powerful grate heater system that incorporate a large, thermally-conductive heating design and a single-blower, high-CFM, forced-air delivery system

  4. List of thermodynamic properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_thermodynamic...

    Systems do not contain work, but can perform work, and likewise, in formal thermodynamics, systems do not contain heat, but can transfer heat. Informally, however, a difference in the energy of a system that occurs solely because of a difference in its temperature is commonly called heat , and the energy that flows across a boundary as a result ...

  5. Chemical thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_thermodynamics

    This is a remarkable result since the chemical potentials are intensive system variables, depending only on the local molecular milieu. They cannot "know" whether temperature and pressure (or any other system variables) are going to be held constant over time. It is a purely local criterion and must hold regardless of any such constraints.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chemistry_terms

    This glossary of chemistry terms is a list of terms and definitions relevant to chemistry, including chemical laws, diagrams and formulae, laboratory tools, glassware, and equipment. Chemistry is a physical science concerned with the composition, structure, and properties of matter , as well as the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. Central heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

    A central heating system provides warmth to a number of spaces within a building from one main source of heat. It is a component of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (short: HVAC) systems, which can both cool and warm interior spaces. A central heating system has a furnace that converts fuel or electricity to heat.

  9. Thermodynamic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_system

    Rigid boundary – not allowing exchange of work: A mechanically isolated system; One example is fluid being compressed by a piston in a cylinder. Another example of a closed system is a bomb calorimeter, a type of constant-volume calorimeter used in measuring the heat of combustion of a particular reaction. Electrical energy travels across the ...
