Heating Air

Definitions

Note: This section is necessarily slightly technical. It is suggested that the reader take a few moments to review Abbreviations  before continuing. Abbreviations were used because they greatly clarify and shorten the text. The reader should not be daunted by technical jargon; an intuitive grasp of Causes is adequate for what follows. Some readers might wish to review The Endgame Scenario first-and return here (Causes) for proof.

SW Sea-Water

DW Distilled/Drinking Water

Q Heat kCal or J

LQ Latent Heat

SQ Sensible Heat

P Pressure atm

T Temperature 'C

RV Reservoir

W work or power
