fluid temperature
21boiling temperature — temperature at which a fluid changes from a liquid to a gas …
22Supercritical fluid — A supercritical fluid is any substance at a temperature and pressure above its thermodynamic critical point. It can diffuse through solids like a gas, and dissolve materials like a liquid. Additionally, close to the critical point, small changes… …
23Equivalent potential temperature — Equivalent potential temperature, commonly referred to as Theta e left( heta e ight), is a quantity related to the stability of a column of air in the atmosphere. heta e is the temperature a parcel of air would reach if all the water vapor in the …
24Supercritical fluid extraction — (SFE) is the process of separating one component (the extractant) from another (the matrix) using supercritical fluids as the extracting solvent. Extraction is usually from a solid matrix, but can also be from liquids. SFE can be used as a sample …
25Potential temperature — The potential temperature of a parcel of fluid at pressure P is the temperature that the parcel would acquire if adiabatically brought to a standard reference pressure P {0}, usually 1000 millibars. The potential temperature is denoted heta and,… …
26Stagnation temperature — is the temperature at a stagnation point in a fluid flow. At a stagnation point the speed of the fluid is zero and all of the kinetic energy has been converted to internal energy and is added to the local static enthalpy. In incompressible fluid… …
27Log mean temperature difference — The log mean temperature difference (LMTD) is used to determine the temperature driving force for heat transfer in flow systems (most notably in heat exchangers). The LMTD is a logarithmic average of the temperature difference between the hot and …
28Bulk temperature — In fluid dynamics, the bulk temperature, or the average fluid bulk temperature, is a convenient reference point for evaluating properties related to convective heat transfer, particularly in applications related to flow in pipes and ducts. The… …
29Deicing fluid — Ground deicing of aircraft is commonly performed in both commercial and general aviation. The fluid used in this operation is called de icing or deicing fluid. The abbreviation ADF (Aircraft Deicing Fluid) is often used. Contents 1 Types 2… …
30Pipe (fluid conveyance) — For structural pipe, see Hollow structural section. For other uses, see Pipe (disambiguation). Steel pipes …
