  2. Downdraft table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downdraft_table

    Downdraft table. Downdraft tables or downdraught benches are workbenches with built-in ventilation to capture dust, smoke, and fumes and draw them away from the operator and the material being worked on. [1] They typically consist of a perforated surface whose underside is connected to a ventilation or dust collection system, to draw material ...

  3. Vertical draft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_draft

    Vertical drafts, known as updrafts or downdrafts, are localized regions of warm or cool air that move vertically. A mass of warm air will typically be less dense than the surrounding region, and so will rise until it reaches air that is either warmer or less dense than itself. The converse will occur for a mass of cool air, and is known as ...

  4. Dust collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_collector

    Downdraft tables - A downdraft table is a self-contained portable filtration system that removes harmful particulates and returns filtered air back into the facility with no external ventilation required. Source collector or Portable units - Portable units are for collecting dust, mist, fumes, or smoke at the source.

  5. Table saw - Wikipedia

    Downdraft tables: Used to draw harmful dust particles away from the user without obstructing the user's movement or productivity. Rip fence: Table saws commonly have a fence (guide) running from the front of the table (the side nearest the operator) to the back, parallel to the cutting plane of the blade. The distance of the fence from the ...

  7. Convective available potential energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convective_available...

    The red line is temperature, the green line is the dew point, and the black line is the air parcel lifted. In meteorology, convective available potential energy (commonly abbreviated as CAPE), [1] is a measure of the capacity of the atmosphere to support upward air movement that can lead to cloud formation and storms.

  8. Downburst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downburst

    t. e. In meteorology, a downburst is a strong downward and outward gushing wind system that emanates from a point source above and blows radially, that is, in straight lines in all directions from the area of impact at surface level. It originates under deep, moist convective conditions like cumulus congestus or cumulonimbus.

  9. Pore space in soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pore_space_in_soil

    The porosity is a measure of the total pore space in the soil. This is defined as a fraction of volume often given in percent. The amount of porosity in a soil depends on the minerals that make up the soil and on the amount of sorting occurring within the soil structure. For example, a sandy soil will have a larger porosity than a silty sand ...
