  2. Starch gelatinization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starch_gelatinization

    Starch gelatinization is a process of breaking down of intermolecular bonds of starch molecules in the presence of water and heat, allowing the hydrogen bonding sites (the hydroxyl hydrogen and oxygen) to engage more water. This irreversibly dissolves the starch granule in water. Water acts as a plasticizer.

  6. Leak detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak_detection

    Some significant leaks that do occur are caused by damage from nearby excavation, but most leaks are caused by corrosion and equipment failure and incorrect operation. [1] If a pipeline is not properly maintained, it can corrode, particularly at construction joints, low points where moisture collects, or locations with imperfections in the pipe.

  7. Dye penetrant inspection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dye_penetrant_inspection

    Choice of developer is governed by penetrant compatibility (one can't use water-soluble or -suspendable developer with water-washable penetrant), and by inspection conditions. When using non-aqueous wet developer (NAWD) or dry powder, the sample must be dried prior to application, while soluble and suspendable developers are applied with the ...

  9. Dry basis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_basis

    Dry basis is an expression of a calculation in chemistry, chemical engineering and related subjects, in which the presence of water (H 2 O) (and/or other solvents) is neglected for the purposes of the calculation. [1] Water (and/or other solvents) is neglected because addition and removal of water (and/or other solvents) are common processing ...
