  2. Plate heat exchanger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_heat_exchanger

    A plate heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger that uses metal plates to transfer heat between two fluids. This has a major advantage over a conventional heat exchanger in that the fluids are exposed to a much larger surface area because the fluids are spread out over the plates.

  3. Brewing methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewing_methods

    [1] [2] [3] Brewing is done in a brewery by a brewer, and the brewing industry is part of most western economies. In 19th century Britain, technological discoveries and improvements such as Burtonisation and the Burton Union system significantly changed beer brewing.

  4. Plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_theory

    The typical thickness to width ratio of a plate structure is less than 0.1. [citation needed] A plate theory takes advantage of this disparity in length scale to reduce the full three-dimensional solid mechanics problem to a two-dimensional problem. The aim of plate theory is to calculate the deformation and stresses in a plate subjected to loads.

  5. Comparison of the imperial and US customary measurement systems

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_the_imperial...

    However, apothecaries' weight has now been superseded by the metric system. One important difference is the widespread use in Britain of the stone of 14 pounds ( 6.350 293 18 kg ) for body weight; this unit is not used in the United States, although flour was sold by a barrel of 196 pounds (14 stone) until World War II.

  6. Moving heat source model for thin plates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_heat_source_model...

    In the 1930s metallurgists Albert Portevin and D. Seferian attempted to experimentally determine heat transfer characteristics in welding. [1] They correlated the effects of several factors—material properties, welding process, and part dimensions—on temperature distribution, by performing oxyacetylene (gas) and covered electrode (arc) welds on plates and bars of various profiles, and ...

  7. Three-tier system (alcohol distribution) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-tier_system_(alcohol...

    A different type of exception to the three-tier system existed in Oklahoma prior to October 2018, where laws historically mandated a four-tier system for package sales of beer of greater than 3.2% alcohol by weight (4.0% by volume). Brewers in that state were historically prohibited from selling to distributors; they instead were required to ...

  8. Backplate and wing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backplate_and_wing

    The backplate, a plate, usually made from stainless steel, sometimes aluminium or carbon fibre composite, which is held against the diver's back by the harness, and to which the diver's primary cylinder or cylinders are attached. A harness, which attaches the system to the diver, and may support other accessories.

  9. Diving weighting system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_weighting_system

    Weight belts are the most common weighting system currently in use for recreational diving. [17] Weight belts are often made of tough nylon webbing, but other materials such as rubber can be used. Weight belts for scuba and breathhold diving are generally fitted with a quick release buckle to allow the dumping of weight rapidly in an emergency. [7]
