absorption system
1absorption system — noun : a refrigerating system in which refrigeration is effected by the expansion in evaporating coils of liquid ammonia into gas which is then absorbed by water and used again after the water is evaporated …
2continuous cycle absorption system — System which has a continuous flow of energy input …
3Absorption refrigerator — The absorption refrigerator is a refrigerator that utilizes a heat source (e.g., solar, kerosene fueled flame) to provide the energy needed to drive the cooling system rather than being dependent on electricity to run a compressor. These… …
4Absorption (acoustics) — Absorption refers to the absorption of sound waves by a material. The absorption is the missing piece , when comparing the total reflected and transmitted energy with the incident energy. It is the property of a material that changes acoustic… …
5Absorption spectroscopy — An overview of electromagnetic radiation absorption. This example discusses the general principle using visible light as a specific example. A white beam source – emitting light of multiple wavelengths – is focused on a sample (the complementary… …
6Absorption band — An absorption band is a range of wavelengths (or, equivalently, frequencies) in the electromagnetic spectrum which are able to excite a particular transition in a substance. See absorption spectrum. Since energetic transitions can take place in… …
7absorption rate — overhead absorption rate; = recovery rate The rate or rates calculated in an absorption costing system in advance of an accounting period for the purpose of charging the overheads to the production of that period. Absorption rates are calculated… …
8absorption rate — overhead absorption rate; recovery rate The rate or rates calculated in an absorption costing system in advance of an accounting period for the purpose of charging the overheads to the production of that period. Absorption rates are calculated… …
9Absorption coefficient — The absorption coefficient α is a property of a material. It defines the extent to which a material absorbs energy, for example that of sound waves or electromagnetic radiation. Wallace Sabine was a pioneer of this concept in acoustics and… …
10Absorption of water — Water is highly essential for plants for various metabolic activities. Land plants get their water supply from soil which serves as the source of water and minerals to them. The way in which water from soil enters roots, particularly to the root… …
