  2. Detroit Diesel V8 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit_Diesel_V8_engine

    GM replaced the DB-2 with the electronic throttle DS-4 in 1994–2000 vehicles. In mid-1996, GM implemented a redesigned engine cooling system incorporating twin non bypass-blocking thermostats and a 130-U.S.-gallon-per-minute (490-liter-per-minute) water pump. This improved the flow through the block by 70–75% and flow to the radiator 7%.

  3. Pumped-storage hydroelectricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage...

    A PSH system stores energy in the form of gravitational potential energy of water, pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation. Low-cost surplus off-peak electric power is typically used to run the pumps. During periods of high electrical demand, the stored water is released through turbines to produce electric power.

  4. Desalination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desalination

    The California Department of Water Resources and the California State Water Resources Control Board submitted a report to the state legislature recommending that urban water suppliers achieve an indoor water use efficiency standard of 55 US gallons (210 litres) per capita per day by 2023, declining to 47 US gallons (180 litres) per day by 2025 ...

  5. Compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_ratio

    Under ideal (adiabatic) conditions, the ratio of specific heats would be 1.4, but a lower value, generally between 1.2 and 1.3 is used, since the amount of heat lost will vary among engines based on design, size and materials used.

  6. Anaerobic digestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_digestion

    The final output from anaerobic digestion systems is water, which originates both from the moisture content of the original waste that was treated and water produced during the microbial reactions in the digestion systems. This water may be released from the dewatering of the digestate or may be implicitly separate from the digestate.

  7. List of rivers by discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rivers_by_discharge

    This article lists rivers by their average discharge measured in descending order of their water flow rate. Here, only those rivers whose discharge is more than 2,000 m 3 /s (71,000 cu ft/s) are shown. It can be thought of as a list of the biggest rivers on Earth, measured by a specific metric.

  9. Solar water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_heating

    Below is a table that gives a rough indication of the specifications and energy that could be expected from a solar water heating system involving some 2 m 2 of absorber area of the collector, demonstrating two evacuated tube and three flat plate solar water heating systems. Certification information or figures calculated from those data are used.
