Sentences with phrase «emitted by high temperature»

Not exact matches

Another disadvantage is the high levels of radiant heat energy produced by high - pressure sodium lamps; up to 75 % of the energy from HPS lamps that is not converted to light is emitted as radiant heat energy, causing the surface of the lamps to reach temperatures as high as 450 °C.

By now most people paying attention know that «clean» diesels no longer smell bad, emit clouds of smoke, clatter excessively, suffer reliability issues or difficulty starting and driving in extreme temperatures or high altitudes.

When Teflon and other nonstick surfaces are heated to very high temperatures, they emit microscopic vapors that when inhaled by birds» exquisitely sensitive respiratory tracts can cause instant death.

If methane is emitted by plants in prodigeous quantities, is reduced growth, in, for example, the Amazon forest due to higher temperatures and drought, a candidate for explaining the drop in methane emissions from the early 1990s?

Above that, and they'll emit radiation with a frequency dependent upon the temperature — the hotter the temperature, the higher the frequency, as implied by idioms such as «white - hot».)

Also at the same time, the much higher daytime skin surface temperature (more than offsetting the somewhat colder night - time skin surface temperature which is often ameliorated by condensation and shallow fog layers) causes more infrared radiation to be emitted to space.

During a recent cruise of the New Zealand research vessel Tangaroa, skin sea - surface temperatures were measured to high accuracy by the Marine - Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (M - AERI), and contemporaneous measurements of the bulk temperature were measured at a depth of ~ 5 cm close to the M - AERI foot print by a precision thermistor mounted in a surface - following float.

The physical / (bio) chemical processes involved: Higher temperatures means more CO2 emitted (tropics) and less absorbed (poles) by the oceans and more absorbed by mid-latitude vegetation.

In order to achieve the target set by the Paris Agreement --- to limit the rise in global average temperature to below the 2 degree C threshold — all new construction must be designed to high energy efficiency standards and use no CO2 - emitting fossil fuel energy to operate; by 2050 the entire built environment must be carbon neutral.

Then that lowest atmosphere layer emit and a 50 - 50 split sends it half up and half down; and the up ward is again absorbed by a higher and now cooler layer; which in turn emits but now at a lower temperature; until finally some much higher and much cooler layer gets to emit radiation that actually escapes to space and that radiating temperature is the one that must balance with the incoming TSI insolation rate.

New research shows that the amount of carbon stored in frozen soils at high latitudes is double previous estimates and could, if emitted as carbon dioxide and methane, lead to a significant increase in global temperatures by the end of this century.

Since the amount of heat going out increases by the 4th power with temperature increasing should not the true average temperature of the earth, reflecting the average amount of energy received and emitted that day be higher than a half of the max and min temperatures?

Since the steady - state temperature of the earth is determined by the balance between what it receives from the sun and what it emits back out into space, an IR - absorbing atmosphere will in fact cause the earth's steady - state temperature to be higher than it would be if the atmosphere did not absorb IR.

If you mean by «the atmosphere heats the earth» that the atmosphere causes the earth to be at a higher steady - state temperature than if all of the radiation that the earth emitted went back out into space, then yes, that is what I am claiming; however, it doesn't violate the 2nd Law because the heat still goes from the earth to the atmosphere.

Obviously nobody answered Carl correctly — and saying that the high 2005 temperature is the consequence of the CO2 emitted by the Amazon forest after the... 2005 drought is of course totally surrealist.
