The presence of a consistent concentration of ions in the effluent of an ion exchange system due to incomplete removal of the ions; caused by incomplete regeneration, excessive flow rates, low temperatures, the concentration or characteristics of the influent ions, or other factors (See hardness leakage )
is a concept often used by policymakers in reference to the problem that emissions abatement achieved in one location may be offset by increased emissions in unregulated locations Such leakage can arise, for example, in the short term as emissions abaters reduce energy demand or timber supply, influencing world prices for these commodities and increasing the quantity emitted elsewhere; and it can arise in the longer term, for example, as industries relocate to avoid controls
Any unwanted sound picked up by (or "leaking" into) a microphone, generally from instruments other than the one(s) in front of the microphone
An unfortunate result of sampling with finite intervals Results in smearing of frequency components Improved by windowing (e g Hanning)
an undesired electric current path from signal wires to ground or other destination Leakage can introduce significant errors with high impedance sensors
An amount of water which flows around a dam without passing through the turbines, spillway gates, or navigation locks Also see lockage
A leakage is an amount of liquid or gas that is escaping from a pipe or container by means of a crack, hole, or other fault. A leakage of kerosene has polluted water supplies It should be possible to reduce leakage from pipes
An unintended seepage of fluids, such as water or gasoline, that requires repairs or remediation
An allowance of a certain rate per cent for the leaking of casks, or waste of liquors by leaking
