Diesel:Fuel oil used by most plant machinery.

Volt:This is the unit of electrical force that pushes electrons around a circuit. This force can be small, as in the case of plant vehicles-12 volt or 24 volt, or it can be large, as in the mains electricity in a workshops-110 volt, 220 volt or 380 volt. | |

Ohm:This is a measure of the resistance in an electrical circuit, and it is measured in ohms. The Greek letter Omega, Ω, is often used to represent resistance in electrical circuits. Check here for more information. |

Burn:There are at least 2 different contexts where we use the word "burn" on the phase 2 cp course. When used in the context of engines and combustion, we speak of how we burn fuel. Fuels used in plant machinery contain engrgy. In order to release that energy so that we can do some work with it, we burn the fuel. As the fuel burns, its energy is converted from chemical energy to heat energy. When used in the context of computers, to "burn" a CD-R (Compact Disc-Recordable) is to write information to the disc by means of a low-intensity laser, which "burns" the digital information onto the disc. |
Caps Lock: |
DIN:An acronym based on a German phrase, Deutesches Institut fur Normung, or the German Institute for Standards. |
DOT:Acronym for Department of Transportation, an American standard. An example of use is "DOT 5 Brake Fluid". |
Energy:Energy is the ability to do work. If one joule of energy is expended in 1 second, one watt of power is said to have been expended. There are many different types of energy. Some examples are: Wind energy, solar energy, nuclear energy, electrical energy, potential engery. |
