The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
A chemical compound composed solely of carbon and hydrogen. The compounds having a small number of carbon and hydrogen atoms in their molecules are usually gaseous; those with a larger number of atoms are liquid, and the compounds with the largest number of atoms are solid.
Industry:Energy
An arrangement of tubes through which the feed water passes before entering boiler drum and flue gases leave burners. Economizers are invariably counter flow; meaning the water flows opposite to the gases, and heat of gases is transferred to the water.
Industry:Energy
When expressed with reference to pipe, the force per unit area exerted by the medium in the pipe.
Industry:Energy
A chemical compound of carbon and hydrogen in which all the valence bonds of the carbon atoms are taken up with hydrogen atoms.
Industry:Energy
The rate of heat removal by a refrigerating system, usually expressed in Btu per hour or in tons.
Industry:Energy
A chemical compound of carbon and hydrogen in which not all the valence bonds of the carbon atoms are taken up with hydrogen atoms.
Industry:Energy
A relatively inert material added to a plastic to modify its strength, permanence, working properties, or other qualities, or to lower costs.
Industry:Energy
A chemical process using heat in presence of a catalyst to break down a substance into desired components, such as in the reforming of natural gas or light oils into lower Btu fuel gas.
