Definition of heating rate in English English dictionary
heat rate: the electric efficiency of a process expressed in terms of BTU/kWh
heat rate: The amount of fuel energy required by a power plant to produce one kilowatt-hour of electrical output A measure of generating station thermal efficiency, generally expressed in Btu per net kWh It is computed by dividing the total Btu content of fuel burned for electric generation by the resulting net kWh generation
heat rate: a measure of generating station thermal efficiency, generally expressed as British Thermal Unit (BTU) per kilowatt-hour (Kwh) It is computed by dividing the total BTU content of the fuel burned (or the heat released from a nuclear reactor) by the resulting Kwh generated
heat rate: is the expression of the conversion efficiency of power plants in the United States and is the amount of heat supplied, in Btu's, to generate 1 kWh of electricity The smaller the heat rate, the greater the efficiency is the expression of the conversion efficiency of power plants in the United States and is the amount of heat supplied, in Btu's, to generate 1 kWh of electricity The smaller the heat rate, the greater the efficiency
heat rate: A measure of the efficiency with which heat can be used to produce electricity Specifically, it is the number of British Thermal Units required to produce one kilowatt/hour of electricity
heat rate: A measure of the thermal efficiency achieved by a power station
