conductance
(redirected from Conductances)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
conductance /con·duc·tance/ (kon-duk´tans) the capacity for conducting or ability to convey. Symbol G.
airway conductance  the reciprocal of airway resistance; the airflow divided by the mouth-to-alveoli pressure difference.

con·duc·tance (kn-dktns)
n.
1. A measure of a material's ability to conduct electric charge; the reciprocal of the resistance.
2. The ease with which a fluid or gas enters and flows through a conduit, air passage, or respiratory tract.

conductance [kon-duk´tans]
ability to conduct or transmit, as electricity or other energy or material.
airway conductance in studies of respiration, an expression of the amount of air reaching the alveoli per unit of time per unit of pressure, the reciprocal of airway resistance.
social conductance interaction appropriate to one's environment, making use of manners, respect for personal space, eye contact, gestures, active listening, and self expression; a performance component of occupational therapy.

conductance
ability to conduct or transmit, as electricity or other energy or material; in studies of respiration, an expression of the amount of air reaching the alveoli per unit of time per unit of pressure, the reciprocal of resistance.

Other effects such as the shift from air to vacuum, exposure to the space environment, or simple lifetime performance may result in changes to the aperture area, thermal conductances, or electronic references (voltage, resistance, and gain).
Table 1 gives the internal heat gains due to occupants and equipment, solar transmission, and the total heat conductance due to heat transfer across the building fabric and infiltration (note that the conductances are approximate, as the sensible and latent heat capacities of the zone air are temperature dependent; the zone temperature is a variable in this example).
