Concentration From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For other uses, see Concentration (disambiguation). In chemistry, concentration is the abundance of a constituent divided by the total volume of a mixture. Several types of mathematical description can be distinguished: mass concentration, molar concentration, number concentration, and volume concentration.[1] The term concentration can be applied to any kind of chemical mixture, but most frequently it refers to solutes and solvents in solutions. The molar (amount) concentration has variants such as normal concentration and osmotic concentration. Concentrated solar power From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The PS10 Solar Power Plant concentrates sunlight from a field of heliostats onto a central solar power tower.

Electrical power is produced when the concentrated light is converted to heat, which drives a heat engine (usually a steam turbine) connected to an electrical power generator or powers an, experimental as of 2013, thermochemical reaction.[1][2][3]
