  2. Coalescence (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalescence_(physics)

    Representation of the coalescence of two droplets, bubbles, or particles to form a single entity. Coalescence is the process by which two or more droplets, bubbles, or particles merge during contact to form a single daughter droplet, bubble, or particle.

  3. Coalescer - Wikipedia

    The turbulence increases the collision frequency between the water drops. The electrodes are insulated to prevent short circuiting, and permit water contents of up to 40% as well as water slugs. The equipment is a separate flow-through electrostatic treatment section installed upstream of a gravity separator to improve the performance.

  4. Spark gap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_gap

    A spark plug.The spark gap is at the bottom. A spark plug uses a spark gap to initiate combustion.The heat of the ionization trail, but more importantly, UV radiation and hot free electrons (both cause the formation of reactive free radicals) [citation needed] ignite a fuel-air mixture inside an internal combustion engine, or a burner in a furnace, oven, or stove.

  5. Coalescence (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalescence_(chemistry)

    Disappearance of the boundary between two particles in contact, or between a particle and a polymer macrophase followed by changes of shape leading to a reduction of the total surface area. Note 1: Definition modified from that in ref. [2] Note 2: The coagulation of an emulsion, viz. the formation of aggregates, may be followed by coalescence.

    COALESCE, an SQL function that selects the first non-null from a range of values; Null coalescing operator, a binary operator that is part of the syntax for a basic conditional expression in several programming languages; Coalesced hashing, a strategy of hash collision resolution in computing

  7. Coalescent theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalescent_theory

    Coalescent theory is a model of how alleles sampled from a population may have originated from a common ancestor.In the simplest case, coalescent theory assumes no recombination, no natural selection, and no gene flow or population structure, meaning that each variant is equally likely to have been passed from one generation to the next.

  8. Fusion (phonetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_(phonetics)

    Some dialects exhibit coalescence in these cases, where some coalesce only /tj/ and /dj/, while others also coalesce /sj/ and /zj/. In General American, /j/ elides entirely when following alveolar consonants, in a process called yod dropping. The previous examples end up as /tuːn/ and /əˈsuːm/. Words that have already coalesced are not ...

  9. Freezing drizzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing_drizzle

    Where freezing rain forms when frozen precipitation falls through a melting layer and turns liquid, freezing drizzle forms via the supercooled warm-rain process, in which cloud droplets coalesce until they become heavy enough to fall out of the cloud, but in subfreezing conditions. [2]
