Sentences with phrase «energy at a constant rate»

The ability to produce energy at a constant rate is a clear advantage over other renewable energy sources such as wind or solar energy, which depend on the wind or sun for production.

Assume the Earth is devoid of water, the Earth has an internal energy source providing energy at a constant rate, and the Earth's surface temperature without any atmosphere is everywhere T.

Not exact matches

Even if renewable energy goes mainstream, INL researchers still believe nuclear will be essential for supporting the electrical grid's base load — that portion of the nation's electricity that must be supplied at a constant rate, in contrast to the variable supplies from the sun and wind.

Globally, seismic energy has been released over the years at a fairly constant rate, with the inevitable random fluctuations.

This work demonstrated that aerobic glycolysis can reduce the energy demands associated with respiratory metabolism and stress survival and that, contrary to expectations and decades - long assumptions, exponential growth at a constant rate can represent not a single metabolic / physiological state but a continuum of changing states characterized by different metabolic fluxes.

A 100 - year - old «cosmological constant» theory introduced by Albert Einstein in relation to his work on general relativity and some other theories derived from this model remain as viable contenders because they propose that dark energy is a constant in both space and time: Gravitational waves and light waves are affected in the same way by dark energy, and thus travel at the same rate through space.

Writing in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Robert Wolfe, Ph.D., Chief of Metabolism and Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Texas Medical Branch, points out that «every 10 - kilogram difference in lean mass translates to a difference in energy expenditure of 100 calories per day, assuming a constant rate of protein turnover.»

Fat keeps the body in balance — steadily using energy and resources at a constant, steady, healthy rate.

Also the rate of growth during this period is not constant; energy requirements decrease from ∼ 3 times maintenance at weaning to ∼ 1.2 times maintenance as the puppy approaches adulthood (1).

The rise in emitted energy seems a much simpler ratio, emitted energy in the case we are discussing does not change at a constant rate, it changes in relation to the intensity of the emitter, this change over time is a linear function due to the systemic processes which we are still working to describe, sorry.

We assume that between 2005 and 2012 the economy grew at 2.5 % (on par with recent economist and CBO estimates of potential GDP growth), the energy - intensity of the economy declined by 1.9 % a year (the average annual rate between 1990 and 2005), and the energy mix (and thus carbon - intensity of energy supply) remained constant.

The twin consequences of this are a) the hotter body cools more slowly; and b) if the hotter body was at a dynamical equilibrium temperature that was maintained relative to the colder body by some constant input of heat, interpolating the absorber layer will force its temperature higher so that it can maintain the same rate of energy loss and remain in dynamical equilibrium.

It's because of the idea of energy coming from inside at constant rate no matter what is not physical.

Above all it must be constant because energy is also being radiated to space at an equal rate when the atmosphere is at equilibrium.

But dQ / dt is determined by the rate of solar energy absorption, which for the problem at hand is constant.

Short Wave Radiation (SWR) comes in from space and warms the surface which begins to radiate Long Wave Radiation (LWR) back towards space, say at a constant energy rate of 1 W / m ².

I believe that if in the vacuum of space you place a blackbody object with (a) a constant (i.e., unchanging energy per unit time) internal thermal energy source, and (b) internal / surface thermal conduction properties such that independent of how energy enters the blackbody, the surface temperature of the blackbody is everywhere the same and you place that object in cold space (no background thermal radiation of any kind), eventually the object will come to a steady state condition — i.e., the object will eventually radiate energy to space at a rate equal to the rate of energy produced by the internal energy source.

For instance, the $ 145 monthly energy savings used in this comparison could be worth over $ 54 thousand dollars in future value over 20 years, at a constant rate of 4.25 %; about the average cost of a high - performance upgrade.
