  2. Sizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sizing

    Surface sizing solutions consist of mainly modified starches and sometimes other hydrocolloids, such as gelatine, or surface sizing agents such as acrylic co-polymers. Surface sizing agents are amphiphilic molecules, having both hydrophilic (water-loving) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) ends. The sizing agent adheres to substrate fibers and ...

  3. Cold sizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_sizing

    Sizing pressure is determined by area to be sized, the metal used, and the change in metal thickness from the operation. Sizing is usually performed on semi-finished parts or parts that require an accurate finish. Stop blocks are used to ensure close tolerances. Cold sizing, like all other cold forming processes, has a hot process counterpart ...

  4. Decanter centrifuge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decanter_Centrifuge

    The separation process in a decanter centrifuge relies on a few process characteristics such as centrifugal force or G-force, sedimentation rate and separating factor, differential speed between the conveyor and bowl, and clarity of the liquid discharge.

  5. Alkenylsuccinic anhydrides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkenylsuccinic_anhydrides

    By far the most important use of alkenylsuccinic anhydrides by volume is the surface and bulk sizing of paper and cardboard with a global consumption of approximately 47,000 tonnes (in 2005). [ 15 ] Alkenylsuccinic anhydrides as paper sizing agents

  6. Surface modification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_modification

    Surface modification is the act of modifying the surface of a material by bringing physical, chemical or biological characteristics different from the ones originally found on the surface of a material. [1] This modification is usually made to solid materials, but it is possible to find examples of the modification to the surface of specific ...

  7. Surface growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_growth

    Bond strength and temperature certainly play important roles in the crystal grow process. For high bond strength, when atoms land on a surface, they tend to be closed to atomic surface clusters, which reduce total energy. This behavior results in many isolated cluster formations with a variety of size yielding a rough surface. Temperature, on ...

  8. Mechanical screening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_screening

    Mechanical screening, often just called screening, is the practice of taking granulated or crushed ore material and separating it into multiple grades by particle size.. This practice occurs in a variety of industries such as mining and mineral processing, agriculture, pharmaceutical, food, plastics, and recycling.

  9. Surrogate model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogate_model

    A surrogate model is an engineering method used when an outcome of interest cannot be easily measured or computed, so an approximate mathematical model of the outcome is used instead. Most engineering design problems require experiments and/or simulations to evaluate design objective and constraint functions as a function of design variables.
