Engine cooling — is cooling an engine, typically using either air or liquid.OverviewHeat engines generate mechanical power by extracting energy from heat flows, much as a water wheel extracts mechanical power from a flow of mass falling through a distance.… … Wikipedia
Global cooling — in general can refer to an overall cooling of the Earth. In this article it refers primarily to a conjecture during the 1970s of imminent cooling of the Earth s surface and atmosphere along with a posited commencement of glaciation. This… … Wikipedia
Deep lake water cooling — uses cold water pumped from the bottom of a lake as a heat sink for climate control systems. Because heat pump efficiency improves as the heat sink gets colder, deep lake water cooling can reduce the electrical demands of large cooling systems… … Wikipedia
Stochastic cooling — is a form of particle beam cooling. It is used in some particle accelerators and storage rings to control the emittance of the particle beams in the machine. This process uses the electrical signals that the individual charged particles generate… … Wikipedia
Air cooling — is a method of dissipating heat. It works by making the object to be cooled have a larger surface area or have an increased flow of air over its surface, or both. An example of the former is to add fins to the surface of the object, either by… … Wikipedia
Geophysical global cooling — This article is about the obsolete theory of global cooling. For the theory positing an overall cooling of the Earth and perhaps the commencement of glaciation or even an ice age, see Global cooling. Before the concept of plate tectonics, global… … Wikipedia
