Because it is warm, the surface radiates far IR thermal radiation that consists of wavelengths that are predominantly much longer than the wavelengths that were absorbed ( the overlap between the incident solar spectrum and the terrestrial thermal spectrum is small enough to be neglected for most purposes ).

Because of helium's relatively low molar ( atomic ) mass, its thermal conductivity, specific heat, and sound speed in the gas phase are all greater than any other gas except hydrogen.

Because of its design, its high temperatures allow higher thermal efficiencies than possible in traditional nuclear power plants ( up to 50 %) and has the additional feature that the gases do not dissolve contaminants or absorb neutrons as water does, so the core has less in the way of radioactive fluids.

Because the milk was not being encapsulated and because spray drying causes thermal degradation, milk dehydration and similar processes have been replaced by other dehydration techniques.

Because the thermal energy of the fluid ( the temperature became about due to compression of the sample ) was above, the hydrogen might be considered metallic.

Because competitions normally involve up to seven rounds during the day, each flown to a maximum flight time hard to achieve without thermal assistance ; an automatic on-board timeswitch upsets the trim of the aircraft when the " max " is achieved, to bring the aircraft down safely and quickly.

Because suborbital spaceplanes are designed for trajectories that do not reach orbital speed, they do not need the kinds of thermal protection orbital spacecraft required during the hypersonic phase of atmospheric reentry.

Because local temperatures are sensitive to the geography of a region, and mountain ranges and ocean currents ensure that smooth temperature gradients ( such as might be found if the Earth were uniform in composition and devoid of surface irregularities ) are impossible, the location of the thermal equator is not identical to that of the geographic Equator.

Because of its unique combination of thermal and chemical stability, low thermal expansion and high optical transparency in a wide spectral range, synthetic diamond is becoming the most popular material for optical windows in high-power CO < sub > 2 </ sub > lasers and gyrotrons.

Because the plasma does not touch the walls of the engine, very high gas temperatures are possible, as in gas core nuclear thermal propulsion.

Because this type of motor is so strongly dependent on random thermal noise, Brownian motors are feasible only at the nanometer scale.

Because of its large size, Dimetrodon had high thermal inertia, meaning that changes in body temperature occurred more slowly in it than in smaller-bodied animals.

Because one of the main mechanisms for electrons to be excited to the conduction band is due to thermal energy, the conductivity of semiconductors is strongly dependent on the temperature of the material.

Because thermal motion is one factor contributing to the deformation of polymers, viscoelastic properties change with increasing or decreasing temperature.

Because soft glass expands a lot more than hard glass when heated, and contracts more when cooled, along with its brittle nature, during cooling or even while working it, soft glass is more prone to cracking due to thermal shock than borosilicate.

Because the current cost of enriched uranium is low compared to the expected cost of large-scale pyroprocessing and electrorefining equipment and the cost of building a secondary coolant loop, the higher fuel costs of a thermal reactor over the expected operating lifetime of the plant are offset by increased capital cost.

Because shuttlecock flight is affected by wind, competitive badminton is played indoors.

Because the solar wind exists are all time and not just times of solar flares, the magnetopause is a permanent feature of the space near any planet with a magnetic field.

Because it travels with the wind, it can affect sparsely populated areas as well.

Because of lack of wind, the warships could not sail to Troy.

Because they are wind pollinated and they have weak internal barriers to hybridization, hybridization produces functional seeds and fertile hybrid offspring.

Because of its topography and prevailing winds, Judith Gap is the site of one of the most ambitious wind power projects in the United States.

Because of the wind direction, most industrial complexes were located in the southern and south-eastern areas.

Because of Whiteman ’ s advertisement of the concert at Aeolian Hall, and the orchestration for primarily wind instruments, the audience was predisposed to listen to the piece as a jazz work.

Because of the inaccessibility of the terrain there was really no other way to haul the wind blown tree trunks from the affected areas.

For example the simple sentence: " Because the wind was gusting the leaves were swirling on the porch " is hypotaxis.

" Because " x " ( the wind gusts ) then " y "( the leaves swirl on the porch ) occurs.

Because of its youth, Epsilon Eridani has a higher level of magnetic activity than the present-day Sun, with a stellar wind 30 times as strong.

Because of its long, narrow shape, the lake exhibits a variety of interesting wind and wave effects, including temporary water level rises of up to one metre in height at its southern shore, a process called seiche.

Because it tends to migrate close to shore — generally within of land — it may be detrimentally affected by the construction of near-shore wind farms ; studies indicate a high level of avoidance of wind farm areas, though deaths due to direct strikes with the turbines appear to be uncommon.

Because the solar wind particles are expected to be embedded in the wafers, whereas the contaminating dirt is likely just to lie on the surface, it may be possible to separate the dirt from the samples.

Because of the high speeds required for flight, procellariids need to either run or face into a strong wind in order to take off.

Because it sits " on " the water, rather than " in " it, they can easily be carried by currents and the wind.

Because these floodplains consist of sediment containing a high content of glacially ground flour-like silt and clay, they were highly susceptible to winnowing of their silts and clays by the wind.

Because of the exposed situation, wind speeds of up to 130 km / h are possible throughout the year.

Because wind is an intermittent power source and may inconveniently deliver large amounts of power during periods of low electric demand, pumped storage facilities are desirable to have on the same grid with large-scale wind farms.

Because of his fear of wind and light, his office was gloomy and lacked any ventilation.

Because the active runway is chosen to meet the wind at the nearest angle ( with take-offs and landings upwind ), the pattern orientation also depends on wind direction.
