Quench USA Inc. is a water technology company that rents and services filtered water coolers. According to the site, over half of the Fortune 500 are customers. Zenith International lists Quench as a leading distributor in the point-of-use (POU) market along with Nestle Waters. [1] Quench is an independent operating company of AquaVenture ...
Magnet quench, a loss of superconductivity resulting in a rapid rise of resistance and temperature, such as in a superconducting magnet; Dark quencher, a dye that absorbs light, but does not emit it, used in molecular biology; the means by which a Geiger–Müller tube is able to distinguish individual particles
Harold Ralph McCluskey (July 12, 1912 – August 17, 1987) was a chemical operations technician at the Hanford Plutonium Finishing Plant located in Washington State; he is known for having survived exposure to the highest dose of radiation from americium ever recorded. [2]
These are specifically designed for non-medical applications. Research autoclaves often use a “jacketless” design where steam is generated directly in the pressure chamber using heating coils (rather than relying on a “steam jacket” and independent steam generator, as is the case in high-throughput medical autoclaves).
However, it is not beyond doubt that the passage describes deliberate quench-hardening, rather than simply cooling. [8] Likewise, there is a prospect that the Mahabharata refers to the oil-quenching of iron arrowheads, but the evidence is problematic. [9] Pliny the Elder addressed the topic of quenchants, distinguishing the water of different ...
Quench polish quench (QPQ) is a specialized type of nitrocarburizing case hardening that increases corrosion resistance. It is sometimes known by the brand name of Tufftride, Tenifer or Melonite. [1] Three steps are involved: nitrocarburize ("quench"), polish, and post-oxidize ("quench"). [2]
Quenching, in the context of pollution scrubbers, refers to the cooling of hot exhaust gas by water sprays before it enters the scrubber proper. Hot gases (those above ambient temperature) are often cooled to near the saturation level.
Dexter (also known as Dexter exchange or collisional energy transfer, colloquially known as Dexter Energy Transfer) is another dynamic quenching mechanism. [12] Dexter electron transfer is a short-range phenomenon that falls off exponentially with distance (proportional to e −kR where k is a constant that depends on the inverse of the van der Waals radius of the atom [citation needed]) and ...
