Capacity

Capacity or capacities may refer to:

Mathematics, science, and engineering

  • Capacity of a container, closely related to the volume of the container
  • Capacity of a set, in Euclidean space, the total charge a set can hold while maintaining a given potential energy
  • Capacity factor, the ratio of the actual output of a power plant to its theoretical potential output
  • Storage capacity (energy), the amount of energy that the storage system of a power plant can hold
  • Nameplate capacity, the intended full-load sustained output of a facility such as a power plant
  • Heat capacity, a measurement of changes in a system's internal energy
  • Combining capacity, another term for valence in chemistry
  • Battery capacity, the amount of electric charge a battery can deliver at the rated voltage

Computer

  • Data storage capacity, amount of stored information that a storage device or medium can hold
  • Channel capacity, the highest rate at which information can be reliably transmitted

Social

  • Carrying capacity, the population size of a species that its environment can sustain
  • Capacity planning, the process of determining the production resources needed to meet product demand
  • Capacity building, strengthening the skills, competencies and abilities of developing societies
  • Productive capacity, the maximum possible output of an economy
  • Capacity management, a process used to manage information technology in business
  • Capacity utilization, the extent to which an enterprise or a nation uses its theoretical productive capacity
  • Road capacity, the maximum traffic flow rate that theoretically may be attained on a given road
  • Seating capacity, the number of people who can be seated in a specific space
  • Capacity (law), the capability and authority to undertake a legal action

Arts

gollark: 2 in an hour, though?
gollark: How come stuff I didn't put in hatcheries seems to get a few UV/Vs still?
gollark: I'll just keep my chicken named `Omega Theory` then.
gollark: _is tempted to steal name_
gollark: Given that that's a chicken and a Z-code it's probably quite valuable.
