Polybutylene (polybutene-1, poly(1-butene), PB-1) is a polyolefin or saturated polymer with the chemical formula (CH 2 CH(Et)) n. Not be confused with polybutene , PB-1 is mainly used in piping. [ 2 ]
A schematic, or schematic diagram, is a designed representation of the elements of a system using abstract, graphic symbols rather than realistic pictures. A schematic usually omits all details that are not relevant to the key information the schematic is intended to convey, and may include oversimplified elements in order to make this essential meaning easier to grasp, as well as additional ...
Tetraethyllead (commonly styled tetraethyl lead), abbreviated TEL, is an organolead compound with the formula Pb(C 2 H 5) 4.It was widely used as a fuel additive for much of the 20th century, first being mixed with gasoline beginning in the 1920s.
A process flow diagram (PFD) is a diagram commonly used in chemical and process engineering to indicate the general flow of plant processes and equipment. The PFD displays the relationship between major equipment of a plant facility and does not show minor details such as piping details and designations.
Echo sounding or depth sounding is the use of sonar for ranging, normally to determine the depth of water . It involves transmitting acoustic waves into water and recording the time interval between emission and return of a pulse; the resulting time of flight , along with knowledge of the speed of sound in water, allows determining the distance ...
More and more people are talking about polyphasic sleep patterns. But a sleep doctor explains why polyphasic sleep is so unhealthy for humans.
Lead(II) sulfate is poorly soluble, as can be seen in the following diagram showing addition of SO 2− 4 to a solution containing 0.1 M of Pb 2+. The pH of the solution is 4.5, as above that, Pb 2+ concentration can never reach 0.1 M due to the formation of Pb(OH) 2. Observe that Pb 2+ solubility drops 10,000 fold as SO 2− 4 reaches 0.1 M.
