- Galvanic Corrosion
- An electrochemical process where one metal corrodes preferentially when in electrical contact with a different metal in the presence of an electrolyte. In thermal engineering, preventing this is critical when pairing dissimilar metals in piping and heat exchangers to avoid premature structural failure.
- Galvanic DO Sensors
- Electrochemical sensors that measure dissolved oxygen by generating a spontaneous electrical current proportional to oxygen concentration. They are prized in industrial systems for their rapid response times and independence from external polarization sources.
- Gas Evolution Degradation
- The mechanical wear and performance loss in electrochemical systems caused by the formation and detachment of gas bubbles on electrode surfaces. Minimizing this degradation is essential for extending the operational lifespan and efficiency of industrial electrolyzers.
- Gas Residence Time
- The specific duration that flue gases are held at a required temperature within a combustion chamber. This parameter is critical for ensuring the complete destruction of complex pollutants and pathogens.
- Gas-Permeable Membrane
- A physical barrier designed to selectively allow specific gases to pass through while retaining liquids and other gas species. In industrial fuel synthesis, these membranes are essential for safely separating produced hydrogen from oxygen, preventing hazardous explosive mixtures.
- Generation IV Reactor
- A class of highly advanced nuclear reactor designs currently being developed to offer superior safety, resource sustainability, and exceptional thermal efficiency. In industrial heat applications, these reactors enable extremely high operating temperatures and significantly reduced waste output.
- Geological Thermal Power Storage
- The practice of storing high-temperature heat directly in deep underground rock formations or aquifers for later conversion into electricity or direct thermal use. This technology enables large-scale, seasonal energy storage to help balance intermittent renewable energy generation.

- Geothermal Ground Loop
- A closed network of fluid-filled pipes buried in the ground that transfers thermal energy between the earth and a building or industrial process. This loop acts as a highly efficient, renewable heat source or sink, lowering overall energy consumption.
- Gibbs Free Energy
- A thermodynamic potential that measures the maximum reversible work performable by a system at constant temperature and pressure. In thermal engineering, it dictates whether a chemical reaction can occur spontaneously and determines the minimum external energy required to drive non-spontaneous processes like water splitting.
