Certain ratios of these materials will provide beneficial bacteria with the nutrients to work at a rate that will heat up the pile.

This occurs because internal combustion engines are heat engines, and higher efficiency is created because higher compression ratios permit the same combustion temperature to be reached with less fuel, while giving a longer expansion cycle, creating more mechanical power output and lowering the exhaust temperature.

If all atoms were the same size, molar and volumetric heat capacity would be proportional and differ by only a single constant reflecting ratios of the atomic-molar-volume of materials ( their atomic density ).

The French, who had been marching and fighting for over forty hours, under intense heat and with scarce ratios of water and food, were slowly following the retreating enemy.

Smaller organisms tend to have higher surface area to volume ratios, causing them to lose heat energy at a faster rate than large organisms.

The transmission lacked an overdrive, allowing for five forward gears to be packaged in the size of a typical four-speed manual gearbox, both providing close gear ratios for better acceleration and fuel efficiency while eliminating the heat and parasitic loss generated by the additional planetary gearset.

Therefore, animals in warm climates will have high surface area to volume ratios so as to help them lose heat.

* faster analysis and response times due to short diffusion distances, fast heating, high surface to volume ratios, small heat capacities.

It is a process that utilizes heat and stoichiometry ratios to determine the percent by mass ratio of a solute.

TGA is a process that utilizes heat and stoichiometry ratios to determine the percent by mass of a solute.

Besides the requirement that the graphite be manipulated into the spheroidal shape, the ferrite and pearlite ratios can be controlled through alloying, shakeout temperature control or post-casting heat treatment to vary the relative amounts pearlite and ferrite from 0 % pearlite and 100 % ferrite, to 100 % pearlite and 0 % ferrite.

As with any heat engine, fuel efficiency is strongly related to the compression ratio, so there is very strong financial need to improve the compressor stages beyond these sorts of ratios.

Here one can argue that mother and infant have different thermoregulatory needs due to the fact that they have different surface-to-volume ratios resulting in more rapid loss of heat in infants compared to adults.

This is done by timing the injection event such that the combustible mixture has a wider range of air / fuel ratios at the point of ignition, thus ignition occurs in different regions of the combustion chamber at different times-slowing the heat release rate.

The accuracy of measuring the total electrical energy entering an exploding wire during a few microseconds was verified when two independent types of comparison with the heat energy produced had an uncertainty of less than 2 percent.

Complete solid solution alloys give single solid phase microstructure, while partial solutions give two or more phases that may or may not be homogeneous in distribution, depending on thermal ( heat treatment ) history.

Oceanic models have shown that the opening of these two passages limited polar heat convergence and caused a cooling of sea surface temperatures by several degrees ; other models have shown that CO < sub > 2 </ sub > levels also played a significant role in the glaciation of Antarctica < sup >.</ sup >

The two most popular heaters for ultra-high-efficiency houses are a small heat pump, which also provides air-conditioning, or a central hydronic ( radiator ) air heater with water recirculating from the water heater.

A truck trailer refrigerator operating from the waste heat of a tractor's diesel exhaust was demonstrated by NRG Solutions, Inc. NRG developed a hydronic ammonia gas heat exchanger and vaporizer, the two essential new, not commercially available components of a waste heat driven refrigerator.

However, before reaching the transition temperature, the specific heat of the superconductor becomes even higher than that of the normal conductor ( measured immediately above the transition ) and the ratio of these two values is found to be universally given by 2. 5.

He spent much of his last two decades unable to afford heat in winter and subsisting on old bread donated by the local baker.

These two bodies, to which we can give or from which we can remove the heat without causing their temperatures to vary, exercise the functions of two unlimited reservoirs of caloric.

This heat loss through the glass keeps the internal bulb temperature steady so that the two sides of the vanes can develop a temperature difference.

He is not aware of all of his powers at the start of the show ; for instance, his heat vision and super breath do not develop until seasons two and six, respectively, and his power of flight did not emerge until the series finale, up until that point the power appeared only in a few rare cases, such as when he was temporarily're-programmed ' to assume a Kryptonian persona or when he was trapped in a virtual reality.

In 1821, Estonian-German physicist Thomas Johann Seebeck demonstrated the electrical potential in the juncture points of two dissimilar metals when there is a heat difference between the joints.

Robinson was sent to remove two protruding gap fillers from Discovery's heat shield, after engineers determined there was a small chance they could affect the shuttle upon re-entry.

When surfaces in contact move relative to each other, the friction between the two surfaces converts kinetic energy into heat.

* Core losses: A time-varying current in a ferromagnetic inductor, which causes a time-varying magnetic field in its core, causes energy losses in the core material that are dissipated as heat, due to two processes:

When the blade of an ice skate passes over the ice, the ice undergoes two kinds of changes in its physical state and a change in temperature due to kinetic friction and the heat of melting.

The heat wave coincided with that year's Four Day Marches, which were cancelled after the first day, when two people died of hyperthermia-related causes.

In the 1980s it was shown theoretically with the help of a disorder field theory, in which the vortex lines of the superconductor play a major role, that the transition is of second order within the type II regime and of first order ( i. e., latent heat ) within the type I regime, and that the two regions are separated by a tricritical point.
