Hot sauce - with one of the mildest commercially available condiments, Cackalacky Classic Condiment Company's Spice Sauce, weighing in at less than 1000 Scoville units on the standard heat scale. A general way to estimate the heat of a sauce is to look at the ingredients list. Sauces tend to vary in heat based on the kind of peppers used, and the further down the list, the less the amount of pepper. Capsaicinoids are the chemicals responsible for the "hot" taste of chili peppers. They are fat soluble and therefore water will be of no assistance when countering the burn. The most
Heat rate (efficiency) Heat rate (efficiency) Heat rate is a term commonly used in power stations to indicate the power plant efficiency. The heat rate is the inverse of the efficiency: a lower heat rate is better. formula_1 While efficiency is a dimensionless measure (sometimes quoted in %) heat rate is typically expressed as Btu/kWh. This is because Watt-hours are more commonly used when referring to electrical energy and Btu is more commonly used when referring to thermal energy. Heat rate in the context of power plants can be thought of as the input needed to produce one unit of output. It generally
