| king | 1. A chief ruler; a sovereign; one invested with supreme authority over a nation, country, or tribe, usually by hereditary succession; a monarch; a prince. "Ay, every inch a king." "Kings will be tyrants from policy, when subjects are rebels from principle." (Burke) "There was a State without king or nobles." (R. Choate) "But yonder comes the powerful King of Day, Rejoicing in the east" (Thomson) 2. One who, or that which, holds a supreme position or rank; a chief among competitors; as, a railroad king; a money king; the king of the lobby; the king of beasts. 3. A playing card having the picture of a king; as, the king of diamonds. 4. The chief piece in the game of chess. 5. A crowned man in the game of draughts. 6. The title of two historical books in the Old Testament. King is often used adjectively, or in combination, to denote preeminence or superiority in some particular; as, kingbird; king crow; king vulture. Apostolic king.See Apostolic. King-at-arms, or King-of-arms, the chief heraldic officer of a country. In England the king-at-arms was formerly of great authority. His business is to direct the heralds, preside at their chapters, and have the jurisdiction of armory. There are three principal kings-at-arms, viz, Garter, Clarencieux, and Norroy. The latter (literally north roy or north king) officiates north of the Trent. King auk, a large species of vulture (Sarcorhamphus papa), ranging from Mexico to Paraguay, The general colour is white. The wings and tail are black, and the naked carunculated head and the neck are briliantly coloured with scarlet, yellow, orange, and blue. So called because it drives away other vultures while feeding. King wood, a wood from Brazil, called also violet wood, beautifully streaked in violet tints, used in turning and small cabinetwork. The tree is probably a species of Dalbergia. See Jacaranda. Origin: AS. Cyng, cyning; akin to OS. Kining, D. Koning, OHG. Kining, G. Konig, Icel. Konungr, Sw. Koning, OHG. Kuning, Dan. Konge; formed with a patronymic ending, and fr. The root of E. Kin; cf. Icel. Konr a man of noble birth. See Kin. A Chinese musical instrument, consisting of resonant stones or metal plates, arranged according to their tones in a frame of wood, and struck with a hammer.

| king's evil | The historic designation for scrofula (tuberculosis, lymph node). The disease is so called from the belief that it could be healed by the touch of a king. This term is used only for historical articles using the name "king's evil", and is to be differentiated from scrofula as lymph node tuberculosis in modern clinical medicine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| King unit | The quantity of phosphatase that, acting upon disodium phenylphosphate in excess, at pH 9 for 30 min, liberates 1 mg of phenol. Synonym: King-Armstrong unit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radio frequency heating | <radiobiology> Process for heating the plasma by transferring energy to ions or electrons using waves generated by an external oscillator at an appropriate frequency. (This is similar to how a microwave oven heats food.) There are various types: See: ECRH, ICRH, and Lower Hybrid. (09 Oct 1997) |
| gross heating value | (GHV) The maximum potential energy in the fuel as received. It reflects the displacement of fibre by water present in the fuel. Expressed as: GHV = HHV (1 - MC / 100) (05 Dec 1998) |
| heating | That heats or imparts heat; promoting warmth or heat; exciting action; stimulating; as, heating medicines or applications. Heating surface, the aggregate surface exposed to fire or to the heated products of combustion, especially. Of all the plates or sheets that are exposed to water on their opposite surfaces. Synonym: fire surface. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| heating curve | <chemistry> A plot of temperature verses time for a substance where energy is added at a constant rate. (09 Jan 1998) |
| heating value | The maximum amount of energy that is available from burning a substance. (05 Dec 1998) |
| higher heating value | (HHV) The maximum potential energy in dry fuel. For wood, the range is 7,600 to 9,600 Btu/lb. (05 Dec 1998) |
| net heating value | The potential energy available in the fuel as received, taking into account the energy loss in evapourating and superheating the water in the sample. Expressed as NVH = (HHV x (1- MC / 100)) - (LH(2)O x MC / 100) (05 Dec 1998) |
| district heating or cooling | A system that involves the central production of hot water, steam, or chilled water and the distribution of these transfer media to heat or cool buildings. (05 Dec 1998) |
| electron cyclotron heating | <physics, radiobiology> Radiofrequency heating scheme that works by injecting electromagnetic wave energy at the electron cyclotron gyration frequency. The electric field of the electromagnetic wave at this frequency looks to a gyrating electron like a static electric field, and thus causes large acceleration of the electron (larger than if the frequency were off the cyclotron frequency and thus, to the electron, appearing to change direction as a function of time). The accelerated electron gains energy, which is then shared with other particles through collisions, resulting in heating. Higher harmonics (multiples) of the cyclotron frequency can also be used in principle. (09 Oct 1997) |
| turbulent heating | <radiobiology> Technique of using turbulence induced by large electric fields to rapidly heat a plasma, the turbulence increases the resistivity of the plasma. (09 Oct 1997) |
