Useful thermal output — The thermal energy made available in a combined heat and power system for use in any industrial or commercial process, heating or cooling application, or delivered to other end users, i.e., total thermal energy made available for processes and… … Energy terms
Power station — A power station (also referred to as generating station, power plant or powerhouse) is an industrial facility for the generation of electric power. [cite book|author=British Electricity International|title=Modern Power Station Practice:… … Wikipedia
Thermal shock — is the name given to cracking as a result of rapid temperature change. Glass and ceramic objects are particularly vulnerable to this form of failure, due to their low toughness, low thermal conductivity, and high thermal expansion coefficients.… … Wikipedia
Thermal laser stimulation — represents a class of defect imaging techniques which employ a laser to produce a thermal variation in a semiconductor device. [Harvnb|Beaudoin|Desplats|Perdue|Boit|2004] This technique may be used for semiconductor failure analysis. There are… … Wikipedia
Thermal management of high power LED — With the coming of energy saving era, high power light emitting diodes (LEDs) are promising to replace other technologies such as incandescent and fluorescent bulbs in signaling, solid state lighting, and vehicle headlight applications due to… … Wikipedia
