  2. Heavy fuel oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_fuel_oil

    Wildlife suffering from a tanker oil spill. Tar-like HFO coats and persistently sticks to feathers. The use and carriage of HFO in the Arctic is a commonplace marine industry practice. In 2015, over 200 ships entered Arctic waters carrying a total of 1.1 million tonnes of fuel with 57% of fuel consumed during Arctic voyages being HFO. [10]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofluoroolefin

    Chemical structure of 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234ze) Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) are unsaturated organic compounds composed of hydrogen , fluorine and carbon . These organofluorine compounds are of interest as refrigerants .

  4. 2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene

    2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene, HFO-1234yf, is a hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) with molecular formula CH 2 =CFCF 3. Its primary application is as a refrigerant with low global warming potential (GWP). [1] [2] As a refrigerant, it is designated R-1234yf [1] and marketed under the names Opteon YF by Chemours and as Solstice YF by Honeywell. [3]

  5. Fuel oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_oil

    No. 5 fuel oil is also called Navy Special Fuel Oil (NSFO) or just navy special; No. 5 or 6 are also commonly called heavy fuel oil (HFO) or furnace fuel oil (FFO); the high viscosity requires heating, usually by a recirculated low pressure steam system, before the oil can be pumped from a bunker tank. Bunkers are rarely labeled this way in ...

  6. Ferrihydrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrihydrite

    However, its formula is fundamentally indeterminate as its water content is variable. The two-line form is also called hydrous ferric oxides (HFO). Due to the nanoparticulate nature of ferrihydrite, the structure has remained elusive for many years and is still a matter of controversy.

  7. Central venous catheter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_venous_catheter

    A central venous catheter (CVC), also known as a central line (c-line), central venous line, or central venous access catheter, is a catheter placed into a large vein. It is a form of venous access. Placement of larger catheters in more centrally located veins is often needed in critically ill patients, or in those requiring prolonged ...

    trans-1,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234ze(E), R-1234ze(E)) is a hydrofluoroolefin. It was developed as a "fourth generation" refrigerant to replace fluids such as R-134a, as a blowing agent for foam and aerosol applications, and in air horns and gas dusters. [3] The use of R-134a is being phased out because of its high global warming ...
