Energy utilization

Of all the monosaccharides d (+) glucose is the best known most important and most abundant Its formation from carbon dioxide water and sunlight is the central theme of photosynthesis Carbohydrate formation by photosynthesis is estimated to be on the order of 10 tons per year a source of stored energy utilized directly or indi rectly by all higher forms of life on the planet Glucose was isolated from raisins m 1747 and by hydrolysis of starch m 1811 Its structure was determined in work culmi nating m 1900 by Emil Fischer... [Pg.1032]

The specific carbon dioxide-fixing mechanism used by a plant will affect the efficiency of photosynthesis, so from an energy utilization standpoint, it... [Pg.29]

Nonoxidizing Antimicrobials. Nonoxidizing antimicrobials usually control growths by one of two mechanisms. In one, microbes are inhibited or killed as a result of damage to the ceU membrane. In the other, microbial death results from damage to the biochemical machinery involved in energy production or energy utilization. [Pg.272]

The material balance table can be supplemented with temperatures, pressures, phases, and stream enthalpies (or internal energies). Utility flows and conditions should be added to the process information. [Pg.2554]

The North American electric power transmission system has been described as the largest, most complex machine ever built by humanity. It is a massive network of generating stations, transmission lines, substations, distribution lines, motors, and other electrical loads all interdependently linked for the conversion, transportation, and control of electrical energy. Approximately 60 percent of all energy utilized in the United States passes through the interconnected electric power system. The major goal of the system is to most efficiently and reliably deliver electric power from generating stations to residential, commercial, and industrial consumers. [Pg.433]

Most burners are efficient at high fire but less so at intermediate rates and particularly at low fire. An on/off burner is therefore apparently efficient from an energy-utilization viewpoint. However, when the burner is called on to fire, in the case of forced-draft burners a purge is usually necessary which will both cool down the process and cause a delay in response, and in the case of natural draft there will be heat losses due to ventilation in the off period. [Pg.279]

The thrifty gene hypothesis postulates that specific sets of genes, which optimized energy utilization and storage, prepared our ancestors for feast and famine by efficiently protecting energy reserves when supplies... [Pg.1199]

Higher pressure steam has a correspondingly higher temperature, has a reduced volume, and contains more energy than lower pressure steam, thus providing the potential for greater efficiency in energy utilization. [Pg.5]

A number of environmental issues have received widespread publicity (Table 7.1), from major accidents at plants (e.g., Seveso and Bhopal) to the global and regional impacts associated with energy utilization (e.g., carbon dioxide, acid rain, and photochemical oxidants), the improper disposal of chemical waste (e.g., Love Canal and Times Beach), and chemicals that have dispersed and bioaccumulated affecting wildlife (e.g., PCBs and DDT) and human health (e.g., cadmium, mercury, and asbestos). [Pg.120]
