  2. Rossby number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rossby_number

    The Rossby number (Ro), named for Carl-Gustav Arvid Rossby, is a dimensionless number used in describing fluid flow. The Rossby number is the ratio of inertial force to Coriolis force , terms | v ⋅ ∇ v | ∼ U 2 / L {\displaystyle |\mathbf {v} \cdot \nabla \mathbf {v} |\sim U^{2}/L} and Ω × v ∼ U Ω {\displaystyle \Omega \times \mathbf ...

  3. Sodium hypochlorite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hypochlorite

    A 1966 patent describes the production of solid stable dihydrate NaOCl·2H 2 O by reacting a chloride-free solution of hypochlorous acid HClO (such as prepared from chlorine monoxide ClO and water), with a concentrated solution of sodium hydroxide. In a typical preparation, 255 mL of a solution with 118 g/L HClO is slowly added with stirring to ...

  4. Adsorbable organic halides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adsorbable_organic_halides

    Adsorbable organic halides (AOX) is a measure of the organic halogen load at a sampling site such as soil from a land fill, water, or sewage waste. [1] The procedure measures chlorine, bromine, and iodine as equivalent halogens, but does not measure fluorine levels in the sample.

  5. Cooking weights and measures - Wikipedia

    The system can be traced back to the measuring systems of the Hindus [18]: B-9 and the ancient Egyptians, who subdivided the hekat (about 4.8 litres) into parts of 1 ⁄ 2, 1 ⁄ 4, 1 ⁄ 8, 1 ⁄ 16, 1 ⁄ 32, and 1 ⁄ 64 (1 ro, or mouthful, or about 14.5 ml), [19] and the hin similarly down to 1 ⁄ 32 (1 ro) using hieratic notation, [20] as ...

  6. Reverse osmosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_osmosis

    Reverse osmosis is a more economical way to concentrate liquids (such as fruit juices) than conventional heat-treatment. Concentration of orange and tomato juice has advantages including a lower operating cost and the ability to avoid heat-treatment, which makes it suitable for heat-sensitive substances such as protein and enzymes .

  7. Chlorine-releasing compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine-releasing_compounds

    A hypochlorite bleach can react violently with hydrogen peroxide and produce oxygen gas: H 2 O 2 (aq) + NaOCl (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H 2 O(l) + O 2 (g) A 2008 study indicated that sodium hypochlorite and organic chemicals (e.g., surfactants, fragrances) contained in several household cleaning products can react to generate chlorinated volatile ...

  8. Mixed liquor suspended solids - Wikipedia

    This minimizes the loss of residual food in the treated effluent. In simple terms, the more the biomass consumes the lower the biochemical oxygen demand ( BOD ) will be in the discharge. It is important that MLSS removes COD and BOD in order to purify water for clean surface waters, and subsequently clean drinking water and hygiene.

  9. Sodium triphosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_triphosphate

    Sodium triphosphate (STP), also sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), or tripolyphosphate (TPP), [1]) is an inorganic compound with formula Na 5 P 3 O 10.It is the sodium salt of the polyphosphate penta-anion, which is the conjugate base of triphosphoric acid.
