  2. Saturation (magnetic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_(magnetic)

    Saturation puts a practical limit on the maximum magnetic fields achievable in ferromagnetic-core electromagnets and transformers of around 2 T, which puts a limit on the minimum size of their cores. This is one reason why high power motors, generators, and utility transformers are physically large; to conduct the large amounts of magnetic flux ...

  3. Freshwater environmental quality parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freshwater_environmental...

    Because almost all water bodies are dynamic in their composition, the relevant quality parameters are typically expressed as a range of expected concentrations. They include the natural and man-made chemical , biological and microbiological characteristics of rivers , lakes and ground-waters , the ways they are measured and the ways that they ...

  4. Water activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_activity

    In food science, water activity (a w) of a food is the ratio of its vapor pressure to the vapor pressure of water at the same temperature, both taken at equilibrium. [1] Pure water has a water activity of one. Put another way, a w is the equilibrium relative humidity (ERH) expressed as a fraction instead of as a percentage.

  5. Ferromagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferromagnetism

    Ferromagnetism is a property of certain materials (such as iron) that results in a significant, observable magnetic permeability, and in many cases, a significant magnetic coercivity, allowing the material to form a permanent magnet. Ferromagnetic materials are noticeably attracted to a magnet, which is a consequence of their substantial ...

  6. Moisture sorption isotherm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_sorption_isotherm

    Because of the complexity of sorption process the isotherms cannot be determined explicitly by calculation, but must be recorded experimentally for each product. [1] The relationship between water content and water activity (a w) is complex. An increase in a w is usually accompanied by an increase in water content, but in a non-linear fashion ...

  7. Ferrofluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrofluid

    It is a colloidal liquid made of nanoscale ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic particles suspended in a carrier fluid (usually an organic solvent or water). [1] Each magnetic particle is thoroughly coated with a surfactant to inhibit clumping. Large ferromagnetic particles can be ripped out of the homogeneous colloidal mixture, forming a separate ...

  8. Water quality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_quality

    The data logger (white cabinet) records temperature, specific conductance, and dissolved oxygen levels. The complexity of water quality as a subject is reflected in the many types of measurements of water quality indicators. Some measurements of water quality are most accurately made on-site, because water exists in equilibrium with its ...

  9. Magnetic hysteresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_hysteresis

    The downward curve after saturation, along with the lower return curve, form the main loop. The intercepts h c and m rs are the coercivity and saturation remanence. Magnetic hysteresis occurs when an external magnetic field is applied to a ferromagnet such as iron and the atomic dipoles align themselves with it.
