32Wet scrubber — is a form of pollution control technology. The term describes a variety of devices that use pollutants from a furnace flue gas or from other gas streams. In a wet scrubber, the polluted gas stream is brought into contact with the scrubbing liquid …
33Stiction — is an informal portmanteau of the term static friction ( μ s), perhaps also influenced by the verb stick .Two solid objects pressing against each other (but not sliding) will require some threshold of force parallel to the surface of contact in… …
34Fretting — (or fretting corrosion) refers to combined wear and corrosion damage at the asperities of contact surfaces. This damage is induced under load and in the presence of repeated relative surface motion, as induced for example by vibration. The ASM… …
35Nanopin film — is an experimental material in nanotechnology developed in 2005 with unusual superhydrophobic properties [1]. A droplet of water makes contact with the surface of this film and forms an almost perfect sphere with a contact angle of 178°. The film …
