HT-7, or Hefei Tokamak-7, is an experimental superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion reactor built in Hefei, China, to investigate the process of developing fusion power. The HT-7 was developed with the assistance of Russia, and was based on the earlier T-7 tokamak reactor. The reactor was built by the Hefei-based Insti...

conserved between system inlet and outlet. Otherwise, it has to be included in the enthalpy balance. During steady-state operation of a device (see Turbine, Pump, and Engine), the average dU/dt may be set equal to zero. This yields a useful expression for the average power generation for these devices in the absence of...

so-called throttling process, also known as Joule–Thomson expansion. It concerns a steady adiabatic flow of a fluid through a flow resistance (valve, porous plug, or any other type of flow resistance) as shown in the figure. This process is very important, since it is at the heart of domestic refrigerators, where it is...

This means that a mixture of gas and liquid leaves the throttling valve. Since the enthalpy is an extensive parameter, the enthalpy in f ( hf ) is equal to the entha...

idea of capacity to perform work. Entropy uses the Greek word τροπή (tropē) meaning transformation or turning. Enthalpy uses the root of the Greek word θάλπος (thalpos) "warmth, heat". The term expresses the obsolete concept of heat content, as dH refers to the amount of heat gained in a process at constant pressure on...

In quantum optics, a superradiant phase transition is a phase transition that occurs in a collection of fluorescent emitters (such as atoms), between a state containing few electromagnetic excitations (as in the electromagnetic vacuum) and a superradiant state with many electromagnetic excitations trapped inside the em...

Yaakov (Yasha) Rosenfeld (Hebrew: יעקב (יאשה) רוזנפלד; February 16, 1948 – July 21, 2002) was a condensed-matter theorist who made outstanding contributions to the statistical mechanics of liquids and dense plasmas. He was a leading figure in theories of liquids and his fundamental measure approach to classical density...
