  2. Mass balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_balance

    In physics, a mass balance, also called a material balance, is an application of conservation of mass [1] to the analysis of physical systems.By accounting for material entering and leaving a system, mass flows can be identified which might have been unknown, or difficult to measure without this technique.

  3. Testing, adjusting, balancing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testing,_adjusting,_balancing

    Balancing is the methodical regulation of system fluid flows (air or water) through the use of acceptable procedures to achieve the desired or specified design airflow or water flow. When beginning the balance of a system, you must locate the terminal with the least amount of flow in regards to the engineer's drawing. Once the "low" terminal ...

  4. Oxygen balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_balance

    A molecule is said to have a positive oxygen balance if it contains more oxygen than is needed and a negative oxygen balance if it contains less oxygen than is needed. [2] An explosive with a negative oxygen balance will lead to incomplete combustion, which commonly produces carbon monoxide, which is a toxic gas. Explosives with negative or ...

  5. Balanced flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_flow

    The transition from low-quote to high-quote schematisations is bridged by Ekman-like schematisations where air-to-air friction, Coriolis and pressure forces are in balance. In summary, the balanced-flow speeds apply well to air columns that can be regarded as homogeneous (constant density, no vertical motion) or, at most, stably stratified (non ...

  6. Selected-ion flow-tube mass spectrometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selected-ion_flow-tube...

    In the selected ion flow tube mass spectrometer, SIFT-MS, ions are generated in a microwave plasma ion source, usually from a mixture of laboratory air and water vapor. . From the formed plasma, a single ionic species is selected using a quadrupole mass filter to act as "precursor ions" (also frequently referred to as primary or reagent ions in SIFT-MS and other processes involving chemical ...

  7. Analytical balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytical_balance

    An analytical balance (or chemical balance) is a class of balance designed to measure small mass in the sub-milligram range. The measuring pan of an analytical balance (0.1 mg resolution or better) is inside a transparent enclosure with doors so that dust does not collect and so any air currents in the room do not affect the balance's operation ...

  8. AutoAnalyzer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoAnalyzer

    Continuous flow analysis (CFA) is a general term that encompasses both segmented flow analysis (SFA) and flow injection analysis (FIA). In segmented flow analysis, a continuous stream of material is divided by air bubbles into discrete segments in which chemical reactions occur.

  9. Particle-laden flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle-laden_flow

    Particle-laden flows refers to a class of two-phase fluid flow, in which one of the phases is continuously connected (referred to as the continuous or carrier phase) and the other phase is made up of small, immiscible, and typically dilute particles (referred to as the dispersed or particle phase). Fine aerosol particles in air is an example of ...
