| thermal resource | A facility that produces electricity by using a heat engine to power an electric generator. The heat may be supplied by the combustion of coal, oil, natural gas, biomass, or other fuels, including nuclear fission, solar, or geothermal resources. (05 Dec 1998) |

| renewable energy resource | <ecology> An energy resource replenished continuously or that is replaced after use through natural means. Sustainable energy. Renewable energy resources include bioenergy, solar energy, wind energy, geothermal power, and hydropower. (25 Jun 1999) |
|---|---|
| resource | <chemistry> Total amount of a substance which exists in the earth and could conceivably be extracted someday at some price with some technology. Typically much larger than reserves. (10 Mar 1998) |
| resource conservation and recovery act | (RCRA) A federal law regulating solid and hazardous waste. RCRA governs the generation, storage, treatment, transport, and disposal of hazardous waste. (05 Dec 1998) |
| resource values | A resource, natural or social, that is found in an area. Resource values may have varying levels of significance. (05 Dec 1998) |
| integrated resource planning | See Least cost planning. (05 Dec 1998) |
| British Thermal Unit | <unit> Unit of energy needed to raise one pound of water by one degree fahrenheit. It is equal to 252 calories or 1055 Joules. Acronym: BTU (13 Nov 1997) |
| differential thermal analysis | Technique by which phase transitions of chemical reactions can be followed by observation of the heat absorbed or liberated. (12 Dec 1998) |
| thermal | Pertaining to or characterised by heat. (18 Nov 1997) |
| thermal anaesthesia | Loss of temperature appreciation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermal barrier | <radiobiology> In magnetic mirror devices, this is a depression of electrostatic potential formed by enhancing ion loss in the region between the central cell and the positive potential plug. The thermal barrier significantly reduces the density requirements in the plug and lowers the overall power required to sustain the solenoidal plugging by thermally decoupling central cell electrons from the end plugs. (09 Oct 1997) |
| thermal burn | A burn caused by heat. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermal capacity | <chemistry> The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of an object by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin), it is represented by the symbol C and is given in units of J/K. (09 Jan 1998) |
| thermal conductivity | <radiobiology> Degree to which a substance transmits heat. (basic definition, I believe, is: (heat flow) = (thermal conductivity) (temperature gradient)) (09 Oct 1997) |
| thermal conversion cycle | <radiobiology> Process of generating electrical power with a fusion reactor by means of a steam / other gas turbine. This is distinct from direct conversion cycles. (09 Oct 1997) |
| thermal cover | Vegetative condition, generally with greater than 70% canopy closure and 40 feet in height, that can significantly ameliorate weather effects such as wind, heat, cold, and snow. Used by wildlife in winter. (05 Dec 1998) |
