  2. Brass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brass

    Islamic Golden Age brass astrolabe Brass lectern with an eagle. Attributed to Aert van Tricht, Limburg (Netherlands), c. 1500.. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, in proportions which can be varied to achieve different colours and mechanical, electrical, acoustic and chemical properties, [1] but copper typically has the larger proportion, generally 2 ⁄ 3 copper and 1 ⁄ 3 zinc.

  3. Water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heating

    Named the geyser after an Icelandic gushing hot spring, Maughan's invention made cold water at the top flow through pipes that were heated by hot gases from a burner at the bottom. Hot water then flowed into a sink or tub. The invention was somewhat dangerous because there was no flue to remove heated gases from the bathroom.

  4. Heat sink - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_sink

    The heat sink thermal resistance model consists of two resistances, namely the resistance in the heat sink base, , and the resistance in the fins, . The heat sink base thermal resistance, , can be written as follows if the source is a uniformly applied the heat sink base. If it is not, then the base resistance is primarily spreading resistance:

  5. List of thermal conductivities - Wikipedia

    The cited Andersland Charts include corresponding water content percentages for easy measurements. The TPRC Data Book has been quoting de Vries with values of 0.0251 and 0.0109 W⋅cm −3 ⋅Kelvin −1 for the thermal conductivities of organic and dry mineral soils respectively but the original article is free at the website of their cited ...

  6. Thermal paste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_paste

    Thermal paste (also called thermal compound, thermal grease, thermal interface material (TIM), thermal gel, heat paste, heat sink compound, heat sink paste or CPU grease) is a thermally conductive (but usually not electrically conductive) chemical compound, which is commonly used as an interface between heat sinks and heat sources such as high ...

  7. Copper in heat exchangers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_in_heat_exchangers

    Aluminum is the most prominently used heat sink material because of its lower cost. [46] Copper heat sinks are a necessity when higher levels of thermal conductivity are needed. An alternative to all-copper or all-aluminum heat sinks is the joining of aluminum fins to a copper base. [47] Copper heat sinks are die-cast and bound together in ...

  8. Uniform Plumbing Code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Plumbing_Code

    The law required that ferules be made of brass or lead and not iron. Traps were required to be ventilated to a pipe that extends to two feet above the roof. [8] All sinks, basins, and water closets need to have separate traps and there has to be trap at the junction with the sewer. [9]

  9. Boiler - Wikipedia

    Water level indicators: They show the operator the level of fluid in the boiler, also known as a sight glass, water gauge or water column. Bottom blowdown valves: They provide a means for removing solid particulates that condense and lie on the bottom of a boiler.
