  2. Coefficient of performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_performance

    Less work is required to move heat than for conversion into heat, and because of this, heat pumps, air conditioners and refrigeration systems can have a coefficient of performance greater than one. The COP is highly dependent on operating conditions, especially absolute temperature and relative temperature between sink and system, and is often ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_thermal_unit

    It is the rate of heat transfer needed to freeze 1 short ton (907 kg) of water into ice in 24 hours. In the United States and Canada, the R-value that describes the performance of thermal insulation is typically quoted in square foot degree Fahrenheit hours per British thermal unit (ft 2 ⋅°F⋅h/Btu).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_arc_furnace

    To produce a ton of steel in an electric arc furnace requires approximately 400 kilowatt-hours (1.44 gigajoules) per short ton or about 440 kWh (1.6 GJ) per tonne. The theoretical minimum amount of energy required to melt a tonne of scrap steel is 300 kWh (1.09 GJ) (melting point 1,520 °C (2,768 °F)).

  6. Compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_ratio

    Under ideal (adiabatic) conditions, the ratio of specific heats would be 1.4, but a lower value, generally between 1.2 and 1.3 is used, since the amount of heat lost will vary among engines based on design, size and materials used.
