German translation of thermal
Spanish translation of thermal

electrothermal: qualifies all techniques related to electroheat,or all devices which function in accordance with its principles
Category: Electrical engineering and energy

epithermal: reactor in which the fission is induced predominantly by epithermal neutrons
Category: Nuclear industry (with applied atomic and nuclear physics)

epithermal: neutrons of kinetic energy greater than that of thermal agitation.The term is often restricted to energies just above thermal,i.e.energies comparable with those of chemical bonds
Category: Nuclear industry (with applied atomic and nuclear physics)

eurythermal: with wide limits of tolerance to temperature
Category: Botany and zoology

geothermal: Geothermal wells are generally drilled with standard rotary rigs at up to 2500-3000 m.Drilling for steam differs considerably from that for oil and gas:casing must be able to withstand vibration,attrition through friction,wear and corrosion.Steam blow-outs can also occur.
Category: Electrical engineering and energy

geothermal: Various theories and models have been advanced to account for the origin of geothermal heat and the mechanism of its upward transfer towards the surface of earth.The actual source of th e actual source of the heat is now almost universally believed to be radioactivity,mostly within the crustal rocks,while the theory of`continental drift`offers an interesting and pla usible explanation of the broad confinement of earthquakes to certain clearly observable zones.
Category: Electrical engineering and energy

geothermal: There is general agreement that the source of heat is a magmatic intrusion into the earth`s crust having a temperature of 600 to 900ä, often at depths of 7 to 15 km
Category: The cosmos

geothermal: all geothermal fields differ from one another. A primitive classification of geothermal field types distinguishes two broad classes:-low-enthalpy fields (hot water fields) which produce hot water at temperature up to about 100oC from depths of 1 or 2km; -high-enthalpy fields (wet steam or dry steam fields) which produce pressurised water exceeding 100oC or superheated steam
Category: Electrical engineering and energy

geothermal: this term is generally employed to denote systems in which the Earth`s heat is sufficiently concentrated to form an energy source; they can be defined and classified on the basis of their geological, hydrological and heat transfer characteristics into the following broad categories:1)convective geothermal systems (Cf. No 5212)2)conductive geothermal systems (Cf. No 5213)
Category: Electrical engineering and energy

geothermal: the thermal energy transferred to water or steam from molten underground rock
Category: The cosmos

geothermal: It is widely accepted in the scientific community that geothermal energy is the natural heat of the earth.This heat is stored in rock and water within the earth and can be extracted by drilling wells to tap anomalous concentrations of heat at depths shallow enough to be economically feasible,usually less than 3 km.
Category: Electrical engineering and energy

geothermal: That is that part of the geothermal resource that is identified and also can be extracted legally at a cost competitive with other commercial energy sources at present.Specification of reserves would require reservoir,production and economic data.A further distinction is also made between proven,probable and possible reserves.
Category: Electrical engineering and energy

geothermal: rate of variation of temperature in soil and rock,as a function of vertical distance
Category: The cosmos

geothermal: The rate of increase of temperature in the earth with depth.The gradient near the surface of the earth varies from place to place depending upon the heat flow(cf.No 5702)in the regio n and on the thermal conductivity of the rocks.The approximate average geothermal gradient in the earth`s crust is about 25oC/km.(cf.'degré géothermique')
Category: Electrical engineering and energy

geothermal: Geothermal resources are defined as stored heat,both identified and undiscovered,that is recoverable using current or near-current technology,regardless of cost.This distinction betw een accessible resource base and resources is technologic.
Category: Electrical engineering and energy

geothermal: includes indigenous production of geothermal,solar,wind,tide and wave energy and the use of these energy forms for electricity generation.Other uses shown in this column relate only to geothermal and solar heat.The quantity of geothermal energy entering electricity generation is inferred from the electricity production at geothermal plants assuming an average thermal efficiency of 10 per cent.For solar,wind,tide and wave energy,the quantities entering electricity generation are equal to the electrical energy generated
Category: Statistics

geothermal: measurements of variations in earth temperature which are not attributable to the daily variations in solar heating. The objectives may be to locate sources of geothermal energy, geological features which affect heat flow, or ground water variations. Diurnal temperature variations penetrate to about 1 m and annual temperature variations to up to 20 m, so measurements ma de at 1,5 to 2 meters over a relatively short time period reflect variations of heat flow
Category: Electrical engineering and energy

geothermal: a power station or plant which converts geothermal energy into electrical energy,making geothermal energy available as heat only,e.g.for space heating and process heating
Category: Electrical engineering and energy

geothermal: Resource base is all of a given material in the earth`s crust,whether its existence is known or unknown and regardless of cost considerations.
Category: Electrical engineering and energy

geothermal: a thermal power station in which thermal energy is extracted from suitable parts of the earth`s crust
Category: Electrical engineering and energy

geothermal: a primitive classification of geothermal field types distinguishes three broad classes = hot water fields, wet steam fields, cry steam fields
Category: The cosmos

geothermal: steam drawn from deep within the earth.There are about 90 known places in the continental United States where geothermal steam could be harnessed for power.These are in California,Idaho,Nevada,and Oregon
Category: Electrical engineering and energy

geothermal: system of two boreholes; one of them is selected for the production of hot water and the other one for the reinjection of the cooled down water
Category: The cosmos

hydrothermal: a coal cleaning process developed at Battelle and designed to produce a clean solid fuel by removing up to 99 percent of inorganic and 70 percent of organic sulfur
Category: Electrical engineering and energy

hydrothermal: of or relating to hot water - used esp. of the formation of metamorphism of minerals by the action of hot solutions rising up through the earth`s crust from a cooling magma.
Category: Mining
