The zero point on the absolute temperature scale. It is equal to -273.16 degrees C, or 0 degrees K (Kelvin), or -459.69 degrees F, or 0 degrees R (Rankine).
Industry:Energy
A formal meeting of interested parties in a rate proceeding before an administrative law judge or regulatory commission to obtain a decision on differences in a filing. Hearing may include written testimony, cross-examination of company witnesses, rebuttal testimony, recross-examination of these witnesses by the company, initial briefs, reply briefs addressing arguments raised by other in the initial briefs, and oral arguments.
Industry:Energy
A plug that is inserted into the end of an unfinished pipeline to keep out dirt and moisture; also a plug of a particular shape with a male thread on one end and considerable length to the closed end for convenient use of a wrench.
Industry:Energy
A white, tasteless, odorless, waxy substance composed of natural hydrocarbons and obtained from petroleum.
Industry:Energy
The amount of heat produced by the complete combustion of a unit quantity of fuel. The gross of higher heating value is that which is obtained when all of the products of combustion are cooled to the temperature existing before combustion, the water vapour formed during combustion is condensed, and all the necessary corrections have been made. The net or lower heating value is obtained by subtracting the latent heat of vaporisation of the water vapor, formed by the combustion of the hydrogen in the fuel, from the gross or higher heating value.
Industry:Energy
The period of time during which a reacting thermosetting composition remains suitable for its intended processing after mixing with reaction-initiating agents.
Industry:Energy
There is no change of temperature when a gas expands without doing external work and without receiving or rejecting heat.
Industry:Energy
A formal proceeding with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or local Public Utility Regulatory Commission for construction or abandonment of facilities, changes in rates and rulemaking.
Industry:Energy
A point at which gas enters the pipeline's main transmission line, either at the interconnection of the gathering system or of a third party transporter. See POOLING POINT.
Industry:Energy
A year-round air-conditioning system employing refrigeration equipment in a manner which enables usable heat to be supplied to a space during the winter period, and by reversing the operation cycle to extract heat from the same space during the summer period. When operating as a heating system, heat is absorbed from an outside medium (either air, water, or the earth) and this heat, together with the heat equivalent of the work of compression, is supplied to space to be heated. When operating on the cooling cycle, heat is absorbed from the space to be cooled and this heat, together with the heat equivalent of the work of compression, is rejected to the outside medium.
