What this part means
The lower label selects a particular version, component, or indexed member of the quantity. For example, x₀ and xₜ can be values at different positions.
Its job in the formula
A subscript distinguishes a version, component, step, or member of a quantity. It does not automatically mean multiplication.

The passage around this formula
Analysis. What Odense does not settle is why heat reuse is common in Denmark and rare almost everywhere else, and thermodynamics supplies at least part of the answer independent of policy. A heat pump’s maximum possible efficiency at converting electrical work into delivered heat is set by the Carnot limit, . with both temperatures in kelvin. The following is my own illustrative calculation, using representative round numbers rather than any specific project’s measured temperatures, to show how sharply this ratio depends on the lift between the waste-heat source and the district-heating supply it must reach — commonly on the order of 70–80 °C in an established European…
