  2. Mass concentration (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_concentration_(chemistry)

    Although there are examples to the contrary, it should be stressed that the commonly used "units" of % w/v are grams per millilitre (g/mL). 1% m/v solutions are sometimes thought of as being gram/100 mL but this detracts from the fact that % m/v is g/mL; 1 g of water has a volume of approximately 1 mL (at standard temperature and pressure) and ...

  3. Liquid nitrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_nitrogen

    Because the liquid-to-gas expansion ratio of nitrogen is 1:694 at 20 °C (68 °F), a tremendous amount of force can be generated if liquid nitrogen is vaporized in an enclosed space. In an incident on January 12, 2006 at Texas A&M University , the pressure-relief devices of a tank of liquid nitrogen were malfunctioning and later sealed.

  4. Specific volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_volume

    In this case, the unit is the centimeter cubed per gram (cm 3 /g or cm 3 ·g1). To convert m 3 /kg to cm 3 /g, multiply by 1000; conversely, multiply by 0.001. Specific volume is inversely proportional to density. If the density of a substance doubles, its specific volume, as expressed in the same base units, is cut in half.

  5. Liquid nitrogen wash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_nitrogen_wash

    The liquid nitrogen wash has two principle functions: [1] Removal of impurities such as carbon monoxide, argon and methane from the crude hydrogen gas; Addition of the required stoichiometric amount of nitrogen to the hydrogen stream to achieve the correct ammonia synthesis gas ratio of hydrogen to nitrogen of 3 : 1

  6. Sludge volume index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sludge_volume_index

    Sludge Volume Index (SVI) is a process control parameter used to describe the settling characteristics of sludge in the aeration tank of an activated sludge process. [1] It was introduced by Mohlman in 1934 and has become one of the standard measures of the physical characteristics of activated sludge processes.

  7. Nitrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen

    Nitrogen is the most common pure element in the earth, making up 78.1% of the volume of the atmosphere [9] (75.5% by mass), around 3.89 million gigatonnes (3.89 × 10 18 kg). Despite this, it is not very abundant in Earth's crust, making up somewhere around 19 parts per million of this, on par with niobium , gallium , and lithium .

  9. Photographic developer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_developer

    In the processing of photographic films, plates or papers, the photographic developer (or just developer) is one or more chemicals that convert the latent image to a visible image. Developing agents achieve this conversion by reducing the silver halides , which are pale-colored, into silver metal, which is black when in the form of fine ...
