This means that every kilogram (roughly one liter by volume) of seawater has approximately 35 grams (1.2 oz) of dissolved salts (predominantly sodium (Na +
k is a decimal digit and R is a fraction that must be converted to decimal. It usually has only a single digit in the numerator, and one or two digits in the denominator, so the conversion to decimal can be done mentally. Example: find the square root of 75. 75 = 75 × 10 2 · 0, so a is 75 and n is 0.
Solar-cell efficiency is the portion of energy in the form of sunlight that can be converted via photovoltaics into electricity by the solar cell. The efficiency of the solar cells used in a photovoltaic system, in combination with latitude and climate, determines the annual energy output of the system. For example, a solar panel with 20% ...

Long distance HVDC lines carrying hydroelectricity from Canada's Nelson River to this converter station where it is converted to AC for use in southern Manitoba's grid. A high-voltage direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission system uses direct current (DC) for electric power transmission, in contrast with the more common alternating current (AC) transmission systems.

In 2018, global commercial operations generated 2.4% of all CO 2 emissions. [3] Jet airliners have become 70% more fuel efficient between 1967 and 2007, and CO 2 emissions per revenue ton-kilometer (RTK) in 2018 were 47% of those in 1990. In 2018, CO 2 emissions averaged 88 grams of CO 2 per revenue passenger per km.
