  2. Lifting gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_gas

    A lifting gas or lighter-than-air gas is a gas that has a density lower than normal atmospheric gases and rises above them as a result, making it useful in lifting lighter-than-air aircraft. Only certain lighter than air gases are suitable as lifting gases. Dry air has a density of about 1.29 g/L (gram per liter) at standard conditions for ...

  3. Liquid fluoride thorium reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_fluoride_thorium...

    The liquid fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR; often pronounced lifter) is a type of molten salt reactor. LFTRs use the thorium fuel cycle with a fluoride -based molten (liquid) salt for fuel. In a typical design, the liquid is pumped between a critical core and an external heat exchanger where the heat is transferred to a nonradioactive secondary ...

  4. Hydrogen fluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_fluoride

    Hydrogen fluoride does not boil until 20 °C in contrast to the heavier hydrogen halides, which boil between −85 °C (−120 °F) and −35 °C (−30 °F). [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] This hydrogen bonding between HF molecules gives rise to high viscosity in the liquid phase and lower than expected pressure in the gas phase.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorine_compounds

    Hydrogen bonding amongst HF molecules gives rise to high viscosity in the liquid phase and lower than expected pressure in the gas phase. Hydrogen fluoride does not boil until 20 °C in contrast to the heavier hydrogen halides which boil between −85 °C and −35 °C (−120 °F and –30 °F).

  7. Fluorinated gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorinated_gases

    Fluorinated gases (F-gases) are a group of gases containing fluorine. They are divided into several types, the main of those are hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). They are used in refrigeration, air conditioning, heat pumps, fire suppression, electronics, aerospace, magnesium industry, foam and high ...

  8. Liquid rocket propellant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_rocket_propellant

    Steam reforming of natural gas is the most common method of producing commercial bulk hydrogen at about 95% of the world production [11] [12] of 500 billion m 3 in 1998. [13] At high temperatures (700–1100 °C) and in the presence of a metal -based catalyst ( nickel ), steam reacts with methane to yield carbon monoxide and hydrogen.

  9. Hall–Héroult process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall–Héroult_process

    The cell produces gases at the anode. The exhaust is primarily CO 2 produced from the anode consumption and hydrogen fluoride (HF) from the cryolite and flux (AlF 3). In modern facilities, fluorides are almost completely recycled to the cells and therefore used again in the electrolysis. Escaped HF can be neutralized to its sodium salt, sodium ...
