10 (ten) is the even natural number following 9 and preceding 11. Ten is the base of the decimal numeral system, the most common system of denoting numbers in both spoken and written language.

40 or forty commonly refers to:

  • 40 (number)
  • one of the years 40 BC, AD 40, 1940, 2040

40 or forty may also refer to:

Efficiency is the often measurable ability to avoid making mistakes or wasting materials, energy, efforts, money, and time while performing a task. In a more general sense, it is the ability to do things well, successfully, and without waste.

In more mathematical or scientific terms, it signifies the level of performance that uses the least amount of inputs to achieve the highest amount of output. It often specifically comprises the capability of a specific application of effort to produce a specific outcome with a minimum amount or quantity of waste, expense, or unnecessary effort. Efficiency refers to very different inputs and outputs in different fields and industries. In 2019, the European Commission said: "Resource efficiency means using the Earth's limited resources in a sustainable manner while minimising impacts on the environment. It allows us to create more with less and to deliver greater value with less input."

Writer Deborah Stone notes that efficiency is "not a goal in itself. It is not something we want for its own sake, but rather because it helps us attain more of the things we value."

A performance is an act or process of staging or presenting a play, concert, or other form of entertainment. It is also defined as the action or process of carrying out or accomplishing an action, task, or function.

Platinum is a chemical element; it has symbol Pt and atomic number 78. It is a dense, malleable, ductile, highly unreactive, precious, silverish-white transition metal. Its name originates from Spanish platina, a diminutive of plata "little silver".

Platinum is a member of the platinum group of elements and group 10 of the periodic table of elements. It has six naturally occurring isotopes. It is one of the rarer elements in Earth's crust, with an average abundance of approximately 5 μg/kg. It occurs in some nickel and copper ores along with some native deposits, mostly in South Africa, which accounts for ~80% of the world production. Because of its scarcity in Earth's crust, only a few hundred tonnes are produced annually, and given its important uses, it is highly valuable and is a major precious metal commodity.

Platinum is one of the least reactive metals. It has remarkable resistance to corrosion, even at high temperatures, and is therefore considered a noble metal. Consequently, platinum is often found chemically uncombined as native platinum. Because it occurs naturally in the alluvial sands of various rivers, it was first used by pre-Columbian South American natives to produce artifacts. It was referenced in European writings as early as the 16th century, but it was not until Antonio de Ulloa published a report on a new metal of Colombian origin in 1748 that it began to be investigated by scientists.

Platinum is used in catalytic converters, laboratory equipment, electrical contacts and electrodes, platinum resistance thermometers, dentistry equipment, and jewelry. Platinum is used in the glass industry to manipulate molten glass, which does not "wet" platinum. As a heavy metal, it leads to health problems upon exposure to its salts; but due to its corrosion resistance, metallic platinum has not been linked to adverse health effects. Compounds containing platinum, such as cisplatin, oxaliplatin and carboplatin, are applied in chemotherapy against certain types of cancer.

"Smart" or SMART may also refer to the following.

A tank is an armoured fighting vehicle intended as a primary offensive weapon in front-line ground combat. Tank designs are a balance of heavy firepower, strong armour, and battlefield mobility provided by tracks and a powerful engine; their main armament is often mounted within a turret. They are a mainstay of modern 20th and 21st century ground forces and a key part of combined arms combat.

Modern tanks are versatile mobile land weapons platforms whose main armament is a large-caliber tank gun mounted in a rotating gun turret, supplemented by machine guns or other ranged weapons such as anti-tank guided missiles or rocket launchers. They have heavy vehicle armour which provides protection for the crew, the vehicle's munition storage, fuel tank and propulsion systems. The use of tracks rather than wheels provides improved operational mobility which allows the tank to overcome rugged terrain and adverse conditions such as mud and ice/snow better than wheeled vehicles, and thus be more flexibly positioned at advantageous locations on the battlefield. These features enable the tank to perform in a variety of intense combat situations, simultaneously both offensively (with direct fire from their powerful main gun) and defensively (as fire support and defilade for friendly troops due to the near invulnerability to common infantry small arms and good resistance against heavier weapons, although anti-tank weapons used in 2022, some of them man-portable, have demonstrated the ability to destroy older generations of tanks with single shots), all while maintaining the mobility needed to exploit changing tactical situations. Fully integrating tanks into modern military forces spawned a new era of combat, armoured warfare.

Until the invention of the main battle tank, tanks were typically categorized either by weight class (light, medium, heavy or superheavy tanks) or doctrinal purpose (breakthrough-, cavalry-, infantry-, cruiser-, or reconnaissance tanks). Some are larger and more thickly armoured and with large guns, while others are smaller, lightly armoured, and equipped with a smaller caliber and lighter gun. These smaller tanks move over terrain with speed and agility and can perform a reconnaissance role in addition to engaging hostile targets. The smaller, faster tank would not normally engage in battle with a larger, heavily armoured tank, except during a surprise flanking manoeuvre.

Water is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula H2O. It is a transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance. It is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of all known living organisms (in which it acts as a solvent). It is vital for all known forms of life, despite not providing food energy or organic micronutrients. Its chemical formula, H2O, indicates that each of its molecules contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms, connected by covalent bonds. The hydrogen atoms are attached to the oxygen atom at an angle of 104.45°. In liquid form, H2O is also called "water" at standard temperature and pressure.

Because Earth's environment is relatively close to water's triple point, water exists on Earth as a solid, a liquid, and a gas. It forms precipitation in the form of rain and aerosols in the form of fog. Clouds consist of suspended droplets of water and ice, its solid state. When finely divided, crystalline ice may precipitate in the form of snow. The gaseous state of water is steam or water vapor.

Water covers about 71% of the Earth's surface, with seas and oceans making up most of the water volume (about 96.5%). Small portions of water occur as groundwater (1.7%), in the glaciers and the ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland (1.7%), and in the air as vapor, clouds (consisting of ice and liquid water suspended in air), and precipitation (0.001%). Water moves continually through the water cycle of evaporation, transpiration (evapotranspiration), condensation, precipitation, and runoff, usually reaching the sea.

Water plays an important role in the world economy. Approximately 70% of the fresh water used by humans goes to agriculture. Fishing in salt and fresh water bodies has been, and continues to be, a major source of food for many parts of the world, providing 6.5% of global protein. Much of the long-distance trade of commodities (such as oil, natural gas, and manufactured products) is transported by boats through seas, rivers, lakes, and canals. Large quantities of water, ice, and steam are used for cooling and heating in industry and homes. Water is an excellent solvent for a wide variety of substances, both mineral and organic; as such, it is widely used in industrial processes and in cooking and washing. Water, ice, and snow are also central to many sports and other forms of entertainment, such as swimming, pleasure boating, boat racing, surfing, sport fishing, diving, ice skating, snowboarding, and skiing.

A year is the time taken for astronomical objects to complete one orbit. For example, a year on Earth is the time taken for Earth to revolve around the Sun. Generally, a year is taken to mean a calendar year, but the word is also used for periods loosely associated with the calendar or astronomical year, such as the seasonal year, the fiscal year, the academic year, etc. The term can also be used in reference to any long period or cycle, such as the Great Year.

Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by changes in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked.

    been running this hybrid 50 gal for 10days now. according to the app energy use is super impressive . with 3 people each taking one shower per day this unit on eco mode os using about 2.5 kw in each 24 hr period. used 27kw in 9 days thats 3$ in electricity. on that note its awesome verse a standard 4500watt unit. little confused on why the water input port is at almost the front of the unit and the hit output is about 45 degrees to the left of it makes no sence to me. made install harder as trying to put it in spot witout running a bunch of piping the should have been adjacent to each other on the side or rear. the fan does put out cold air so keep that in mind. prob be great in the summer. i love the wifi app for phone. very easy to use.

    My first review wasn’t good due to receiving a defective unit. I’ve now have the second water in service for three weeks and it is working great. The heater, set at 126, is providing adequate amounts of hot water. I’m impressed with the low electric usage. According to the ECONet app it has used less than 10Kwh over the last 6 days. Of course there is only one person using hot water in my house so that helps. So far, I’m very pleased with the water heater. I’m hoping it will prove to be a reliable unit and a good investment. Time will tell.

    Bought this to replace a GE Geospring hybrid water heater that was about 10 years old. Only had the water heater installed for a few weeks now. Installed the water heater myself. Everything went smoothly except for 3 things. 1st, when the manufacturer installed the automatics shut off value, it leaked, this was Rheem’s connection, not mine. I was able to tilt the water heater back a bit while tightening the value about an 1/8 of a turn. It ended up stopping the leak. The 2nd issue was that in the process of switching out the water heater, some water got on the floor. Well, this water heater has a automatic shut off vale when it detects water on the floor, so the automatic shut off kept closing. There doesn’t seem to be an override on the display on the water heater itself. This brings me to the 3rd issue, I had some trouble setting up the app. I could not get it to work on my android phone at first and so I tried my wife’s iphone. I got it to work on the iphone and them my android app started to work. There was a shut off value override in the app. It would have been nice to have an override on the water heater itself. Overall, I’m happy with the water heater. Hopefully I won’t have any issues for a long time. I currently have the condensation drain just draining into a bucket. I’m contemplating whether to drill a hole in my wall for the condensation drain.

    Just got through installing a RHEEM performance platinum hybrid water heater 50 gal. (Model #XE50T10H45U0) with Shark bite attachments to the top copper fittings connected via Pex for a very easy install. Home Depot wanted $825 to install, another local plumber $425. I followed this video on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASJYZS92-Bo&t=687s) with my (Pex materials, clapping, etc.) parts costing around $100 and installed myself with help from my son-Two people make it much easier. Home Depot price for Rheem water heater was $1,299, Subtotal, Discount -$600.00 (on Sale on slickdeals via Home Depot) Shipping $75.00, FL Sales Tax $50.31, Order Total $824.31, Utility rebate -$500=$324.31+ $100 above parts $424.31 TOTAL PRICE, Not bad, Cannot wait for the summer months here in Orlando, Florida to see if this unit will cool down my Non-Air Conditioned Garage.

    My plumber had never put one of these in before, so it took him awhile, but he got it. We have had it a couple months now, and really like it. It has very good capacity for hot water and we keep it about 112°. The only thing I don’t like is when I put it in vacation mode, it doesn’t stay there. It switches back to normal. So I just turn it down as low as it will go. The app is also pretty worthless. It also does not keep it at whatever I change it to. But other than that I am extremely happy with it! If I could figure out how to fix those issues, I would give it 5 stars.

    Best home efficiency investment ever! Replaced a past end-of-life oil-fired 50 gallon water heater that burned a gallon a day ($2.00) for domestic hot water with a new 65 gallon Proterra that consumes LESS THAN 2 kWh ($0.35). Finding the right installer was important, but the unit went in easily. Minting savings as I review this!

    Have had unit for about two weeks and it works perfectly. Bought partly because it fit perfectly in the tight space where my electric unit had been due to diameter being the same. Would have liked 60 gallon version but it would not fit. Have been running it in heatpump mode only, instructions are a little confusing as it says the most efficient mode is hybrid mode and app keeps asking me to switch, but that is false. In heat pump only mode it is most efficient but some might have problems with recovery as heatpump only is slow to recover. We only have two people in the home so there is no problem with two showers and dishwasher and washing machine. Energy usage is at or below the estimated $104 in electric per year versus the same DOE sticker on my old electric which was $565 a year. The only thing I don’t like is both the display on the unit and the app show the setpoint temperature but not the actual temperature, but not a big deal. The data from the app is very useful. I have the unit installed in my Florida garage. That area is quite warm in the summer so I expect it to use even less energy then, and the unit will also provide some cooling of the garage. Those in a northern climate may have to use the hybrid mode as the incoming water temperature is probably much lower and this size unit might not be big enough in just heatpump mode especially in the winter.
