The reactor could not be closed earlier because it was also a primary source of heat and power, but the United States has provided $285 million to underwrite the refurbishment of a coal plant to provide an alternate utility service.
Statistics from the last survey about the use of wood for heat, conducted in 2006, are not yet public, but the number of households that report using wood as their primary source of heat is expected to jump sharply, said Marie LaRiviere of the Energy Information Administration.
And rather than installing unsightly ductwork, "we thought, 'Hey, why not try a year with just one fireplace, and see how it works.' " Despite the frigid Canadian winters, the single gas fireplace that they use as their primary source of heat has worked well, thanks to strong insulation.
Borehole (BH) assessments form the primary source of heat production and flow information but such measurements are often sparse.
However, when using a two-tank molten-salt storage system as the primary source of heat input, the Kalina cycle showed an advantage over the simple Rankine cycle because of about 33 % reduction in the storage requirement.
Sensing high temperatures is particularly important for ectothermic reptiles that use basking in the sun as their primary source of heat.
In humans, the primary source of heat dissipation during exercise is through increased skin blood flow and sweating [ 2– 4].
The two primary sources of heat production available to small mammals are non-shivering thermogenesis (NST) and shivering.
In the beginning of the 20th century, imported coal was the primary source of household heating.
In a crossed-coil probe, the higher frequency 1H field, which is the primary source of sample heating in conventional probes, is produced by a separate low-inductance resonator.
