  2. 1-Butene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Butene

    1-Butene (IUPAC name: But-1-ene, also known as 1-butylene) is the organic compound with the formula CH 3 CH 2 CH=CH 2. It is a colorless gas. But-1-ene is an alkene easily condensed to give a colorless liquid. It is classified as a linear alpha-olefin (terminal alkene). [2] It is one of the isomers of butene (butylene). It is a precursor to ...

  3. 2-Ethyl-1-butanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Ethyl-1-butanol

    The branching in 2-ethyl-1-butanol makes it harder to crystallize due to packing disruption, which results in a very low freezing point. Esters of 2-ethyl-1-butanol are similarly effected and it therefore finds application as a feedstock in the production of plasticizers and lubricants, where its presence helps reduce viscosity and lower freezing points.

  4. Butene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butene

    Butene, also known as butylene, is an alkene with the formula C 4 H 8.The word butene may refer to any of the individual compounds. They are colourless gases that are present in crude oil as a minor constituent in quantities that are too small for viable extraction.

  5. Cooling bath - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_bath

    Cooling baths are generally one of two types: (a) a cold fluid (particularly liquid nitrogen, water, or even air) — but most commonly the term refers to (b) a mixture of 3 components: (1) a cooling agent (such as dry ice or ice); (2) a liquid "carrier" (such as liquid water, ethylene glycol, acetone, etc.), which transfers heat between the ...

  6. But-2-ene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/But-2-ene

    But-2-ene is an acyclic alkene with four carbon atoms. It is the simplest alkene exhibiting cis/trans-isomerism (also known as (E/Z)-isomerism); that is, it exists as two geometric isomers cis-but-2-ene ((Z)-but-2-ene) and trans-but-2-ene ((E)-but-2-ene). It is a petrochemical, produced by the catalytic cracking of crude oil or the dimerization ...

  7. Icemaker - Wikipedia

    Thickness between 1 and 15 mm (1 ⁄ 16 and 9 ⁄ 16 in), irregular shape with diameters from 12 to 45 mm (1 ⁄ 2 to 1 + 3 ⁄ 4 in). The evaporator of the flake ice machine is a vertically placed drum-shaped stainless steel container, equipped with a rotating blade that spins and scratches the ice off the inner wall of the drum.

  8. Fuel system icing inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_System_Icing_Inhibitor

    Fuel system icing inhibitor (FSII) is an additive to aviation fuels that prevents the formation of ice in fuel lines. FSII is sometimes referred to by the registered, genericized trademark Prist. Jet fuel can contain a small amount of dissolved water that does not appear in droplet form. As an aircraft gains altitude, the temperature drops and ...

  9. Water dispenser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_dispenser

    Originally, these bottles were manufactured at 3,5 or 6 US gallon capacity (11.4, 18.9 or 22.7 liters) and supplied to rented water cooler units. [4] These units usually do not have a place to dump excess water, only offering a small basin to catch minor spills. On the front, a lever or pushbutton dispenses the water into a cup held beneath the ...
