    weather: Hurricane Katrina's rate of release of latent heat energy into the air. [48] 3 × 10 14: tech: power reached by the extremely high-power Hercules laser from the University of Michigan. [citation needed] 4.6 × 10 14: geo: estimated rate of net global heating, evaluated as Earth's energy imbalance, from 2005 to 2019.

  3. Isolated-phase bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolated-phase_bus

    Various forms of flexible terminals, expansion joints, and weatherproof or fire-proof bushings and terminals are used with isolated-phase bus. Some types of apparatus such as disconnecting switches, circuit breakers, and instrument transformers are made in enclosures that can be welded to become an integral part of the isolated-phase bus system.

  4. Dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_numbers_in...

    Dimensionless numbers (or characteristic numbers) have an important role in analyzing the behavior of fluids and their flow as well as in other transport phenomena. [1] They include the Reynolds and the Mach numbers, which describe as ratios the relative magnitude of fluid and physical system characteristics, such as density, viscosity, speed of sound, and flow speed.

    An NC machine alters a blank piece of material (metal, plastic, wood, ceramic, or composite) to meet precise specifications by following programmed instructions and without a manual operator. Coefficient of thermal expansion – describes how the size of an object changes with a change in temperature. Specifically, it measures the fractional ...

  7. Bushing (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushing_(electrical)

    In electric power, a bushing is a hollow electrical insulator that allows an electrical conductor to pass safely through a conducting barrier such as the case of a transformer or circuit breaker without making electrical contact with it. Bushings are typically made from porcelain, though other insulating materials are also used.

  8. Laser power scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_power_scaling

    For the efficient drain of heat from a compact device, the active medium should be a narrow slab; in order to give advantage to the amplification of light at wanted direction over the ASE, the energy and head would be withdrawn in orthogonal directions, as it is shown in figure. At low background loss (typically, at the level of 0.01 or 0.001 ...

  9. Capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

    The maximum energy that the capacitor can store is therefore = = = The maximum energy is a function of dielectric volume, permittivity, and dielectric strength. Changing the plate area and the separation between the plates while maintaining the same volume causes no change of the maximum amount of energy that the capacitor can store, so long as ...
