Sentences with phrase «terms of heat loss»

Not exact matches

In terms of consumer applications, high - purity graphene could also be a great option to build efficient thermoelectric devices that convert heat into electric current (and vice versa) with little energy loss — for instance, creating lightweight circuitry woven into clothes that turns body heat into charge for our smartphones.

The science Short - term cold exposure of around 30 minutes can lead to fatty acid release and provide fuel for heat production through shivering, leading not only to weight loss, but some lean muscle gain.

Fred Staples (# 232): Obviously, the answer you are looking for in terms of the duvet is that it reduces heat loss by reducing convective heat losses.

Nice misconception you have going there but the real argument is that CO2 can lower the temperature gradient of the cool skin layer, which slows the heat loss to the atmosphere and increased levels of greenhouse gases lead to more heat being stored in the oceans over the long - term.

In the heat - energy balance, which describes the gain or loss of heat in the system, sketched in figure 5, the solar and atmospheric radiation terms dominate.

It is important that this second term is more or less inversely proportional to; a bigger (smaller climate sensitivity) is required to make room for the internal contribution, resulting in stronger radiative restoring of this internal component and greater heat loss.

You asked, «A question that emerges is — does the ENSO cycle actually drive long term (at least multi-decadal) change in climate, as a result of the balance of heat gain and loss, or is it a cycling superimposed on long term variation driven by other factors?»

A question that emerges is — does the ENSO cycle actually drive long term (at least multi-decadal) change in climate, as a result of the balance of heat gain and loss, or is it a cycling superimposed on long term variation driven by other factors?

The majority of these details, and their related psi - values published in Appendix D of TGD L (2011), are not optimised details and therefore may not offer the best details in terms of reducing heat loss at junctions as well as reducing mould growth risk to its lowest possible level.

Mean sea level (MSL) evolution has a direct impact on coastal areas and is a crucial index of climate change since it reflects both the amount of heat added in the ocean and the mass loss due to land ice melt (e.g. IPCC, 2013; Dieng et al., 2017) Long - term and inter-annual variations of the sea level are observed at global and regional scales.

It's no guarantee that the junction is going to cause an issue in terms of additional heat loss or mould growth risk, but it's certainly something that absolutely needs to be looked at before proceeding any further.

What's very unfortunate in the Schwartz paper is the following, however: «However in a subsequent publication a year later Lyman et al. [2006] reported a rapid net loss of ocean heat for 2003 - 2005 that led those investigators to estimate... a value much more consistent with the long - term record in the Levitus et al. [2005] data set.»

Big short term changes in loss of heat to space....
