  • Types without approval are equipped with glycol compensation, who reliably measure the energy even if there is glycol in the water. (belimo.com)
  • As sea water becomes colder with depth, the temperature difference between water near the surface and water at a depth of 1000 m can be up to 20°C in tropical regions. (cleanenergycouncil.org.au)
  • If there is a cloud cover, the heat is trapped by water vapour as a greenhouse gas and the temperature stays quite warm. (skepticalscience.com)
  • Unlike external forcings such as CO 2 which can be added to the atmosphere, the level of water vapour in the atmosphere is a function of temperature. (skepticalscience.com)
  • Water vapour is brought into the atmosphere via evaporation - the rate depends on the temperature of the ocean and air, being governed by the Clausius-Clapeyron relation . (skepticalscience.com)
  • Membrane-based desalination technologies are crucial for generating clean water, but are energy intensive. (purdue.edu)
  • On the low temperature side, water freezing pre- ported as the dynamic perturbation factor (DPF) jH ¼ Ætæ/t0, sents an obstacle. (lu.se)
  • This can be used to measure at elevated temperatures (max 500K) or to stabilize an arbitrary temperature when using the flow cryostat. (lu.se)
  • Brüggemann, D. Thermal stability of hexamethyldisiloxane (MM) for high temperature applications. (mdpi.com)
  • It is likely that NaOH concentration had a more significant influence on the development of microbial community structure, particularly of methanogens than temperature. (mdpi.com)
  • We also hope that the project will create opportunities to ensure that issues of energy access and justice are tangibly integrated into planning and development processes in the EU. (lu.se)
  • For egg-laying ectotherms, cool temperatures often extend development time and exacerbate developmental energy cost. (lu.se)
  • Here, we studied maternal investment and embryo energy use and allocation in wall lizards spanning altitudinal regions, as potential mechanisms that enable successful development to hatching in cool climates. (lu.se)
  • Specifically, we compared population-level differences in (1) investment from mothers (egg mass, embryo retention and thyroid yolk hormone concentration), (2) embryo energy expenditure during development, and (3) embryo energy allocation from yolk towards tissue. (lu.se)
  • Instead, embryos from the high-altitude region used less energy to complete development, that is, they developed faster without a concomitant increase in metabolic rate, compared with those from the low-altitude region. (lu.se)
