  2. Pseudofossil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudofossil

    Pyrite disks or spindles are sometimes mistaken for fossils of sand dollars or other forms (see marcasite). Cracks, bumps, gas bubbles, and such can be difficult to distinguish from true fossils. Specimens that cannot be attributed with certainty to either fossils or pseudofossils are treated as dubiofossils. Debates on whether specific forms ...

    External access point for fire sprinkler and dry standpipe at a building in San Francisco, US Antique wet standpipe preserved at Edison and Ford Winter Estates. A standpipe or riser is a type of rigid water piping which is built into multi-story buildings in a vertical position, or into bridges in a horizontal position, to which fire hoses can be connected, allowing manual application of water ...

  4. Vitrified clay pipe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitrified_clay_pipe

    Vitrified clay pipe (VCP) is pipe made from a blend of clay and shale that has been subjected to high temperature to achieve vitrification, which results in a hard, inert ceramic. VCP is commonly used in gravity sewer collection mains because of its long life and resistance to almost all domestic and industrial sewage , particularly the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separator_(oil_production)

    If allowed to accumulate the solids reduce the volume available for oil/gas/water separation reducing efficiency. The vessel may be taken offline and drained down and the solids removed by digging out by hand. Or water sparge pipes in the base of the separator used to fluidize the sand which can be drained from the drain valves in the base.

  6. Multiphase flow - Wikipedia

    Further examples lie in the flow of oil, water and natural gas. These flow can occur in condensation or evaporation of liquid mixtures (e.g. the condensation or evaporation of steam or hydrocarbons) [9] Solid-liquid-liquid flows: An example being sand mixing with oil and water in a pipeline [9] Multiphase flows are not restricted to only three ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_feedwater

    Both effects will reduce the pipe's overall thermal efficiency when used as a heat exchanger. Boiler feedwater is the water which is supplied to a boiler. The feed water is put into the steam drum from a feed pump. In the steam drum the feed water is then turned into steam from the heat. After the steam is used, it is then dumped to the main ...

  8. Dubiofossil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubiofossil

    The term dubiofossil is a portmanteau word used in geology and paleontology for a problematic structure that looks like a fossil but has an uncertain biologic origin. From Latin dubius, and English fossil, the word has been used mainly for remains found in rocks dating from the early history of the Earth (Precambrian rocks), but it is also applicable in other settings such as problematic ...

  9. Unconventional (oil and gas) reservoir - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconventional_(oil_and...

    Some of the oil and gas percolate all the way to the surface as natural seepages, either on land or on the sea floor. The rest remains trapped underground by geological barriers [b] in a variety of trap geometries. In this way, underground pockets of oil and gas accumulate by displacing water in porous rock.
