101Magnox — Schematic diagram of a Magnox nuclear reactor showing gas flow. Note that the heat exchanger is outside the concrete radiation shielding. This represents an early Magnox design with a cylindrical, steel, pressure vessel. For other uses of the… …
102Micro-encapsulation — is a process in which tiny particles or droplets are surrounded by a coating to give small capsules many useful properties. In a relatively simplistic form, a microcapsule is a small sphere with a uniform wall around it. The material inside the… …
103Camber (aerodynamics) — Camber, in aerospace engineering, is the asymmetry between the top and the bottom curves of an airfoil in cross section.OverviewCamber is often added to an airfoil to increase lift and/or reduce the critical angle of attack (the angle at which… …

105Enhanced geothermal systems — (EGS)Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) enhance and/or create geothermal systems through hydraulic stimulation. When natural cracks and pores will not allow for economic flow rates, the permeability can be enhanced or stimulated by pumping cold… …
106Nanopolymers — The word nano is derived from the Greek word for “dwarf”. It is the prefix for units of 10 9. In a nutshell, nanoscience is the study of the extremely tiny. Nanoscience is concerned with the study of the unique properties of matter at its nano… …
107Atmosphere of Jupiter — Cloud pattern on Jupiter in 2000 The atmosphere of Jupiter is the largest planetary atmosphere in the Solar System. It is mostly made of molecular hydrogen and helium in roughly solar proportions; other chemical compounds are present only in… …
108Coal power in the People's Republic of China — Entrance to a small coal mine in China. A coal shipme …
109Hypothetical types of biochemistry — are forms of biochemistry speculated to be scientifically viable but not proven to exist at this time. While the kinds of living beings we know on earth commonly use carbon for basic structural and metabolic functions, water as a solvent and DNA… …
110Behavior of nuclear fuel during a reactor accident — This page is devoted to a discussion of how uranium dioxide nuclear fuel behaves during both normal nuclear reactor operation and under reactor accident conditions such as overheating. Work in this area is often very expensive to conduct, and so… …
