energy

A practical electrical power source which is a linear electric circuit may, according to Thévenin's theorem, be represented as an ideal voltage source in series with an impedance.

energy

Internal friction is the force resisting motion between the elements making up a solid material while it undergoes deformation.

energy

Internal erosion is the formation of voids within a soil caused by the removal of material by seepage. It is the second most common cause of failure in levees and one of the leading causes of failures in earth dams.

energy

The internal energy of a thermodynamic system is the energy contained within it. It is the energy necessary to create or prepare the system in any given internal state.

energy

Internal combustion engine cooling uses either air or liquid to remove the waste heat from an internal combustion engine.

energy

Is a heat engine where combustion takes place in a combustion chamber producing force on pistons which in turn produces usable work usually by turning a shaft which can, for example, be coupled to a generator to produce electricity.

energy

Resources that are on occasion not available such as the solar, wind or wave energy.

energy

The frequency a power source is unintentionally stopped or partially unavailable.

energy
