  2. Conservation and restoration of shipwreck artifacts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_and...

    Although most shipwreck artifacts reside in water, water can be a significant problem that must be addressed. Water has a major impact on artifacts that have been submerged for prolonged periods of time. If organic materials, are removed too quickly and allowed to completely dry out without proper treatment, the artifacts will rapidly disintegrate.

  3. Conservation and restoration of waterlogged wood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_and...

    One of the largest issues with treatment on waterlogged wood is finding a way to remove the water in the wood but keep the water that is part of the material. Preventing cell wall collapse (which causes shrinking, cracking, and further damage) of the waterlogged wood while drying is the largest struggle and main goal of treatment.

  4. Residence time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residence_time

    The concept of residence time originated in models of chemical reactors. The first such model was an axial dispersion model by Irving Langmuir in 1908. This received little attention for 45 years; other models were developed such as the plug flow reactor model and the continuous stirred-tank reactor, and the concept of a washout function (representing the response to a sudden change in the ...

  5. Lake retention time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_retention_time

    The lake retention time for a body of water with the volume 2,000 m 3 (71,000 cu ft) and the exit flow of 100 m 3 /h (3,500 cu ft/h) is 20 hours.. Lake retention time (also called the residence time of lake water, or the water age or flushing time) is a calculated quantity expressing the mean time that water (or some dissolved substance) spends in a particular lake.

  9. Marine sediment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_sediment

    Marine sediment, or ocean sediment, or seafloor sediment, are deposits of insoluble particles that have accumulated on the seafloor.These particles either have their origins in soil and rocks and have been transported from the land to the sea, mainly by rivers but also by dust carried by wind and by the flow of glaciers into the sea, or they are biogenic deposits from marine organisms or from ...
