72Natural convection — Bénard cells. Natural convection is a mechanism, or type of heat transport, in which the fluid motion is not generated by any external source (like a pump, fan, suction device, etc.) but only by density differences in the fluid occurring due to… …
73Aquifer test — An aquifer test (or a pumping test) is conducted to evaluate an aquifer by stimulating the aquifer through constant pumping, and observing the aquifer s response (drawdown) in observation wells. Aquifer testing is a common tool that… …
74Reaction calorimeter — A reaction calorimeter is an instrument that enables the energy being released or absorbed by a reaction to be measured. The majority of events taking place within a reactor release or absorb energy, so if that can be measured it allows a view of …
