Industry:Energy
The combination of mixer head, mixer throat, and mixer tube. Mixer Head. That portion of an injection type burner, usually enlarged, into which primary air flows to mix with the gas stream. Mixer Throat. That portion of the mixer which has the smallest cross sectional area and which lies between the mixer head and the mixer tube. Mixer Tube. That portion of the mixer which lies between the throat and the burner head.
Industry:Energy
(1) Polarization of anode, that is, the decrease in the initial anode potential resulting from current flow effects at or near the anode surface. The potential becomes more noble (more positive) because of anodic polarization. (2) That portion of the cell polarization occurring at the anode.
Industry:Energy
A process control test for PVC pipe which indicates how well the rigid vinyl compound has been fused together in the extruder. Improperly fused pipe will tend to flake when placed in anhydrous acetone.
Industry:Energy
The process by which sulfur and sulfur compounds are removed from gases or liquid hydrocarbon mixtures.
Industry:Energy
(1) The effect of specific chemicals on the properties of plastic piping with respect to concentration, temperature and time of exposure. (2) The ability of a specific plastic pipe to render service for a useful period in the transport of a specific chemical at a specified concentration and temperature. (3) The ability to resist chemical attack.
Industry:Energy
A gas-tight container fabricated from pipe or plate with integral drawn, forged, or spun end closures, tested in the manufacturer's plant, used for storing or transporting gas.
