  2. Surface chemistry of cooking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_chemistry_of_cooking

    Understanding the role of temperature in cooking is an essential part of creating fine cuisine. Temperature plays a vital role in nearly every meal's preparation. Many aspects of cooking rely on the proper treatment of colloids. Things such as sauces, soups, custards, and butters are all created by either creating or destroying a colloid.

  3. NFPA 704 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFPA_704

    "NFPA 704: Standard System for the Identification of the Hazards of Materials for Emergency Response" is a standard maintained by the U.S.-based National Fire Protection Association. First "tentatively adopted as a guide" in 1960, [ 1 ] and revised several times since then, it defines the " Safety Square " or " Fire Diamond " which is used to ...

    4 ions to precipitate CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O . A fraction of SO 2− 4 ions can also be trapped, or sorbed, into the layered structure of C-S-H. [3] These successive reactions lead to the precipitation of expansive mineral phases inside the concrete porosity responsible for the concrete degradation, cracks and ultimately the failure of the structure.

  5. Combustibility and flammability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustibility_and...

    The degree of flammability in air depends largely upon the volatility of the material – this is related to its composition-specific vapour pressure, which is temperature dependent. The quantity of vapour produced can be enhanced by increasing the surface area of the material forming a mist or dust.

  6. Properties of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_concrete

    Concrete has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, and as it matures concrete shrinks. All concrete structures will crack to some extent, due to shrinkage and tension. Concrete which is subjected to long-duration forces is prone to creep. The density of concrete varies, but is around 2,400 kilograms per cubic metre (150 lb/cu ft). [1]

  8. List of viscosities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_viscosities

    Dynamic viscosity is a material property which describes the resistance of a fluid to shearing flows. It corresponds roughly to the intuitive notion of a fluid's 'thickness'.

    4, density = 4.3 – 4.5) and various types of iron oxides, mainly magnetite (Fe 3 O 4, density = 5.2) and hematite (Fe 2 O 3, density = 5.3). The reason is their high density favorable to gamma attenuation. Both types of aggregates need to be checked for ASR as they may contain reactive silica impurities under a form or another.
