Sentences with phrase «large amounts of energy heating»

Dr Adrian Williams, an agriculture expert from Cranfield University, in Bedfordshire, said: «If you produce something in an unheated greenhouse abroad or in a field, you make a considerable saving, as you are not having to use large amounts of energy heating a greenhouse.

The fact that this isotope is a fissile material able to produce large amounts of heat and energy makes it highly useful in industries.

Ocean currents that may carry large amounts of heat are not calculated into the GCM, and thus we do not have a good estimate of the rate of energy transfer at the boundaries of specific sea - floor methane systems.

When an icy impact occurred, the impactor's kinetic energy became heat energy, instantly melted some ice, gouged out a crater, and kicked up into Mars» thin atmosphere large amounts of debris mixed with water (liquid, ice crystals, and vapor)-- and complex organic molecules that obviously came recently from life.127 Then, the dirt and salt - water mixture settled back to the surface in vast layers of thin sheets — strata — especially around the crater.

The core heats to billions of degrees and explodes (supernova), thereby releasing large amounts of energy and material into space.

The general consensus among scientists is that the young Earth's atmosphere contained much larger quantities of greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide and / or ammonia) than are present today, which trapped enough heat to compensate for the lesser amount of solar energy reaching the planet.

A huge laser delivers a large amount of energy in a short time to heat the walls of the larger chamber, and the radiation emitted from those walls in turn drives the small capsule to a very small size, increasing the density of the gases inside to much higher density than lead and heating it at the same time to very high temperatures required for fusion to occur.

The amount of heat kicked back, in the same part of the spectrum as the incident sun energy waves, due to a white roof looks to my rough calculation to be about the same (within an order of magnitude) as the amount of heat energy discharged from a typical large automobile operating for about an hour a day.

In addition, depending on the natural vegetation type, ground heat flux supplied a relatively large amount of energy to the surface (HK2).»

The region's highly energy - intensive economy emits a disproportionately large amount of the gases responsible for warming the climate (called greenhouse gases or heat - trapping gases).

The fact that a great deal of the melt in Arctic sea ice is affected by the accumulating heat in the oceans and the fact that energy is advected to the Arctic via the oceans in much larger amounts than via the atmosphere and the extreme loss we've seen in Arctic sea ice volume as a result means nothing to the «skeptics».

«To better monitor Earth's energy budget and its consequences, the ocean is most important to consider because the amount of heat it can store is extremely large when compared to the land or atmospheric capacity,» said Yan.

You wrote - «The fact that a great deal of the melt in Arctic sea ice is affected by the accumulating heat in the oceans and the fact that energy is advected to the Arctic via the oceans in much larger amounts than via the atmosphere and the extreme loss we've seen in Arctic sea ice volume as a result means nothing to the «skeptics».»

There is a rather large amount of energy missing from the Earth Energy Budget that is likely due to the rather large difference in the latent heat of vaporization of sea water with varying salt coenergy missing from the Earth Energy Budget that is likely due to the rather large difference in the latent heat of vaporization of sea water with varying salt coEnergy Budget that is likely due to the rather large difference in the latent heat of vaporization of sea water with varying salt content.

Once the BER is calculated there is a large amount of information available such as annual energy use for space heating, water heating, ventilation, lighting and associated pumps and fans.

Many of the mechanisms are like that — the tides, the direct inductive heating, the heating caused by the days influx of falling meteorites — which incidentally is far greater than the rate of heat loss through outgassing, as meteoric dust and matter infalls at an average rate of at least millimeters per decade, from my own direct measurements — they have «impressively» large amounts of annual energy associated with them, right up to where you divide by the surface area of the earth and the number of seconds in a year.

Large amounts of heat energy are absorbed when water evaporates and given off when it condenses (aka latent heat).

The reason I contrasted the two types of «heat pump», heat pumps and air conditioners, was to illustrate the large amount of work (energy) required to circumvent the Second Law — ie to cool an object further by moving energy from it to a warmer one or warmer surroundings.

Traditional furnaces and air conditioners burn relatively large amounts of energy in order to create or remove heat, respectively.

They're clearly relying on people's ignorance of the laws of thermodynamics, which mean that whenever heat is converted to another form of energy a large amount will always be wasted.

Unlike traditional HVAC systems that rely on large amounts of energy to heat and cool, geothermal heating and cooling systems implement a system of pipes buried beneath the frost line where temperatures are always 54 degrees Fahrenheit — a perfect temperature for watering plants or growing fish.
