  3. Methane clathrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane_clathrate

    Methane clathrate (CH 4 ·5.75H 2 O) or (4CH 4 ·23H 2 O), also called methane hydrate, hydromethane, methane ice, fire ice, natural gas hydrate, or gas hydrate, is a solid clathrate compound (more specifically, a clathrate hydrate) in which a large amount of methane is trapped within a crystal structure of water, forming a solid similar to ice.

  4. Crevasse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crevasse

    A crevasse is a deep crack that forms in a glacier or ice sheet. Crevasses form as a result of the movement and resulting stress associated with the shear stress generated when two semi-rigid pieces above a plastic substrate have different rates of movement. The resulting intensity of the shear stress causes a breakage along the faces.

  5. Thermal shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_shock

    Thermal shock resistance measures can be used for material selection in applications subject to rapid temperature changes. The maximum temperature jump, , sustainable by a material can be defined for strength-controlled models by: [4] [3] = where is the failure stress (which can be yield or fracture stress), is the coefficient of thermal expansion, is the Young's modulus, and is a constant ...

  6. Hydrogen embrittlement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_embrittlement

    Environmental embrittlement [2] is a surface effect where molecules from the atmosphere surrounding the material under test are adsorbed onto the fresh crack surface. This is most clearly seen from fatigue measurements where the measured crack growth rates [24] can be an order of magnitude higher in hydrogen than in air. That this effect is due ...

  7. Heat dome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_dome

    A heat dome is a weather phenomenon consisting of extreme heat that is caused when the atmosphere traps hot air as if bounded by a lid or cap. Heat domes happen when strong high pressure atmospheric conditions remain stationary for an unusual amount of time, preventing convection and precipitation and keeping hot air "trapped" within a region.

  8. Cracking (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracking_(chemistry)

    The "spent" catalyst then flows into a fluidized-bed regenerator where air (or in some cases air plus oxygen) is used to burn off the coke to restore catalyst activity and also provide the necessary heat for the next reaction cycle, cracking being an endothermic reaction. The "regenerated" catalyst then flows to the base of the riser, repeating ...

    1. A deep crack, fissure, or chasm in the ice of a glacier or ice sheet, or more generally in any ground surface. 2. A break in the natural levee or bank of a river. [4] crust The thin shell of solid material that is the Earth's outermost layer and the outermost component of the lithosphere.
