  2. Heat transfer coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer_coefficient

    The heat transfer coefficient has SI units in watts per square meter per kelvin (W/(m 2 K)). The overall heat transfer rate for combined modes is usually expressed in terms of an overall conductance or heat transfer coefficient, U. In that case, the heat transfer rate is: ˙ = where (in SI units):

  3. Transient climate response to cumulative carbon emissions

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_climate_response...

    E T = cumulative carbon dioxide emissions (Tt C) ΔC A = change in atmospheric carbon (Tt C) and, 1Tt C = 3.7 Tt CO 2. TCRE can also be defined not in terms of temperature response to emitted carbon, but in terms of temperature response to the change in radiative forcing: [10] = / [10] where,

  4. Global warming potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming_potential

    The carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2 e or CO 2 eq or CO 2-e or CO 2-eq) can be calculated from the GWP. For any gas, it is the mass of CO 2 that would warm the earth as much as the mass of that gas. Thus it provides a common scale for measuring the climate effects of different gases.

  5. Life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of energy sources

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life-cycle_greenhouse_gas...

    The findings are presented in units of global warming potential per unit of electrical energy generated by that source. The scale uses the global warming potential unit, the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2 e), and the unit of electrical energy, the kilowatt hour (kWh). The goal of such assessments is to cover the full life of the source, from ...

  6. Radiative forcing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_forcing

    Radiative forcing is defined in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report as follows: "The change in the net, downward minus upward, radiative flux (expressed in W/m 2) due to a change in an external driver of climate change, such as a change in the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO 2), the concentration of volcanic aerosols or the output of the Sun." [3]: 2245

  7. Illustrative model of greenhouse effect on climate change

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illustrative_model_of...

    Absorption cross sections for CO2 (green) and water vapour (purple). The wavelengths most relevant to climate change are those where the green plot crosses the upper horizontal line, representing a CO2 level somewhat larger than the current concentration. CO 2 absorbs the ground's thermal radiation mainly at wavelengths between 13 and 17 micron ...

  8. Useful conversions and formulas for air dispersion modeling

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_conversions_and...

    Correcting to a reference carbon dioxide content [ edit ] The following equation can be used to correct a measured pollutant concentration in an emitted gas (containing a measured CO 2 content) to an equivalent pollutant concentration in an emitted gas containing a specified reference amount of CO 2 : [ 5 ]

  9. Chilton and Colburn J-factor analogy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilton_and_Colburn_J...

    The basic mechanisms and mathematics of heat, mass, and momentum transport are essentially the same. Among many analogies (like Reynolds analogy , Prandtl–Taylor analogy) developed to directly relate heat transfer coefficients, mass transfer coefficients and friction factors, Chilton and Colburn J-factor analogy proved to be the most accurate.
