1compensating balance — noun a minimum credit balance that a bank may require a borrower to keep on deposit as a condition for granting a loan; a common requirement for establishing a line of credit at a bank the compensating balance increases the effective interest… …
2compensating balance — 1. Also, compensated balance, compensation balance. a balance wheel in a timepiece, designed to compensate for variations in tension in the hair spring caused by changes in temperature. 2. Banking. a deposit balance that is required to be left on …
3compensating calorimeter — an apparatus in which the object to be tested, such as a developing chick in an egg, is placed at one junction of a thermocouple and an electrical resistance at the other. From the amount of current that must pass through the resistance to keep… …
4Thermodynamic temperature — is the absolute measure of temperature and is one of the principal parameters of thermodynamics. Thermodynamic temperature is an “absolute” scale because it is the measure of the fundamental property underlying temperature: its null or zero point …
5Altitude compensating nozzle — An altitude compensating nozzle is a class of rocket engine nozzles that are designed to operate efficiently across a wide range of altitudes.Conventional designsThe basic concept of any engine bell is to efficiently direct the flow of exhaust… …
6Microelectromechanical system oscillator — Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) oscillators are timing devices that generate highly stable reference frequencies. These reference frequencies are used to sequence electronic systems, manage data transfer, define radio frequencies, and… …
7Ceramic capacitor — In electronics, a ceramic capacitor is a capacitor constructed of alternating layers of metal and ceramic, with the ceramic material acting as the dielectric. The temperature coefficient depends on whether the dielectric is Class 1 or Class 2. A… …
8Water heating — is a thermodynamic process using an energy source to heat water above its initial temperature. Typical domestic uses of hot water are for cooking, cleaning, bathing, and space heating. In industry, both hot water and water heated to steam have… …
9Strain gauge — Typical foil strain gauge. The gauge is far more sensitive to strain in the vertical direction than in the horizontal direction. The markings outside the active area help to align the gauge during installation. A strain gauge (also strain gage)… …
10Anaesthetic vaporiser — An anaesthetic vaporiser is a device generally attached to an anaesthetic machine which delivers a given concentration of a volatile anaesthetic agent. The design of these devices takes account of varying *ambient temperature *fresh gas flow… …
