  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. Air permeability specific surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_permeability_specific...

    The air permeability specific surface of a powder material is a single-parameter measurement of the fineness of the powder. The specific surface is derived from the resistance to flow of air (or some other gas) through a porous bed of the powder. The SI units are m 2 ·kg −1 ("mass specific surface") or m 2 ·m −3 ("volume specific surface").

  4. Pressure swing adsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_swing_adsorption

    This includes a process in landfill gas utilization to upgrade landfill gas to utility-grade high purity methane gas to be sold as natural gas. [1] PSA is also used in: Hypoxic air fire prevention systems to produce air with a low oxygen content. On purpose propylene plants via propane dehydrogenation.

  5. Air bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_bearing

    Their typical diameter is between 0.02 mm and 0.06 mm. The narrowest cross-section of these nozzles lies exactly at the bearing's surface. Thereby the technology avoids a dead volume on the supporting air bearing's surface and within the area of the air supplying nozzles.

  6. Air separation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_separation

    The size of compressor is much reduced over a liquefaction plant, and portable oxygen concentrators are made in this manner to provide oxygen-enriched air for medical purposes. Vacuum swing adsorption is a similar process; the product gas is evolved from the zeolite at sub-atmospheric pressure.

  7. Souders–Brown equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Souders–Brown_equation

    The following sizing methodology is based on the assumption that those flow rates are known. Use a vertical pressure vessel with a length–diameter ratio of about 3 to 4, and size the vessel to provide about 5 minutes of liquid inventory between the normal liquid level and the bottom of the vessel (with the normal liquid level being somewhat ...

  8. Air stripping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_stripping

    This process is known as volatization or air stripping. Water is deposited into the system through the top and air is ventilated in through the bottom. Water that reaches the bottom of the system is typically considered treated, but additional testing may be done to determine if it is safe for consumption. [ 1 ]

  9. Aeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeration

    On a given volume of air or liquid, the surface area changes proportionally with drop or bubble size, the very surface area where exchange can occur. Utilizing extremely small bubbles or drops increases the rate of gas transfer (aeration) due to the higher contact surface area. The pores which these bubbles pass through are generally micrometre ...
