What's the difference between dissipativity and rate?
Dissipativity
Definition:
(n.) The rate at which palpable energy is dissipated away into other forms of energy.

(v. t.) To ratify.
(v. i.) To be set or considered in a class; to have rank; as, the ship rates as a ship of the line.
(v. i.) To make an estimate.
Example Sentences:
