Industry:Energy
The value realised from plant removed or otherwise disposed. This value may be in the form of cash, debits to the materials and supplies accounts, trade-in allowance, or other consideration.
Industry:Energy
A device for detecting vibrations in the earth. It is used in prospecting for probable oil or gas bearing structures. In this application, the vibrations are created by discharging explosives in shallow bore holes. The nature and velocity of the vibrations as recorded by the seismograph indicate the general nature of the section of earth through which the vibrations pass.
Industry:Energy
A method of expressing the amount of air infiltration and/or ventilation of a building or room in terms of the number of building volumes or room volumes exchanged per unit of time.
Industry:Energy
A system using the momentum of a jet of low pressure gas (up to and including 1/2 psig or 14 inches of water column) to entrain from the atmosphere a portion of the air required for combustion.
