heat rate
1Heat Rate — The ratio of fuel energy input as heat per unit of net work output; a measure of a power plant thermal efficiency, generally expressed as Btu per net kilowatt hour. A measure of generating station thermal efficiency and generally expressed as …
2Implied heat rate — A calculation of the day ahead electric price divided by the day ahead natural gas price. Implied heat rate is also known as the ‘break even natural gas market heat rate,’ because only a natural gas generator with an operating heat rate… …
3Heat transfer — is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the exchange of thermal energy from one physical system to another. Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms, such as heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation, and phase change …
4Rate of fire — is the frequency at which a specific weapon can fire or launch its projectiles. It is usually measured in rounds per minute (RPM or round/min), or per second (RPS or round/s). Contents 1 Overview 2 Measurement 2.1 Cyclic rate …
5Heat conduction — or thermal conduction is the spontaneous transfer of thermal energy through matter, from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature, and acts to equalize temperature differences. It is also described as heat energy… …
6Heat flux — or thermal flux is a flow of energy per unit of area per unit of time. In SI units, it is measured in [W·m 2] . It has both a direction and a magnitude so it is a vectorial quantity. To define the heat flux at a certain point in space, one takes… …
7Heat treatment — is a method used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material. The most common application is metallurgical. Heat treatments are also used in the manufacture of many other materials, such as glass. Heat treatment… …
8Heat and smoke vent — Heat and Smoke Vents are installed in buildings as an active fire protection measure. They are openings in the roof which are intended to vent the heat and smoke developed by a fire inside the building by the action of buoyancy, such that they… …
