- Company Profile:
A machine for generating rotary mechanical power from the energy of a stream of fluid (such as water, steam, or hot gas). Turbines convert the kinetic energy of fluids to mechanical energy through the principles of impulse and reaction, or a mixture of the two.
Industry:Energy
Electromagnetic radiation in the wavelength range of 4 to 400 nanometers.
Industry:Energy
A semiconductor material made from silica, purified for photovoltaic applications.
Industry:Energy
The transfer of heat through matter or space by means of electromagnetic waves.
Industry:Energy
Segment expenses related both to revenue from sales to un affiliated customers and revenue from intersegment sales or transfers, excluding loss on disposition of property, plant, and equipment; interest expenses and financial charges; foreign currency translation effects; minority interest; and income taxes.
Industry:Energy
The spontaneous emission of radiation from the nucleus of an atom. Radionuclides lose particles and energy through this process.
Industry:Energy
The radiant energy of the sun, which can be converted into other forms of energy, such as heat or electricity.
Industry:Energy
A naturally occurring radioactive gas found in the United States in nearly all types of soil, rock, and water. It can migrate into most buildings. Studies have linked high concentrations of radon to lung cancer.
Industry:Energy
The total distribution of electromagnetic radiation emanating from the sun. The different regions of the solar spectrum are described by their wavelength range. The visible region extends from about 390 to 780 nanometers (a nanometer is one billionth of one meter). About 99 percent of solar radiation is contained in a wavelength region from 300 nm (ultraviolet) to 3,000 nm(near-infrared). The combined radiation in the wavelength region from280 nm to 4,000 nm is called the broadband, or total, solar radiation.
