  2. Air separation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_separation

    An air separation plant separates atmospheric air into its primary components, typically nitrogen and oxygen, and sometimes also argon and other rare inert gases. The most common method for air separation is fractional distillation. Cryogenic air separation units (ASUs) are built to provide nitrogen or oxygen and often co-produce argon.

  3. Air pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_pollution

    Air pollution is the contamination of air due to the presence of substances called pollutants in the atmosphere that are harmful to the health of humans and other ...

  4. Water activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_activity

    For example, if honey (a w ≈ 0.6) is exposed to humid air (a w ≈ 0.7), the honey absorbs water from the air. If salami (a w ≈ 0.87) is exposed to dry air (a w ≈ 0.5), the salami dries out, which could preserve it or spoil it. Lower a w substances tend to support fewer microorganisms since these get desiccated by the water migration.

  7. Water purification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_purification

    Prior to this step, compressed air may be blown up through the bottom of the filter to break up the compacted filter media to aid the backwashing process; this is known as air scouring. This contaminated water can be disposed of, along with the sludge from the sedimentation basin, or it can be recycled by mixing with the raw water entering the ...

  8. Gas turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_turbine

    The basic operation of the gas turbine is a Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid: atmospheric air flows through the compressor that brings it to higher pressure; energy is then added by spraying fuel into the air and igniting it so that the combustion generates a high-temperature flow; this high-temperature pressurized gas enters a ...

  9. Speed of light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_Light

    The speed at which light propagates through transparent materials, such as glass or air, is less than c; similarly, the speed of electromagnetic waves in wire cables is slower than c. The ratio between c and the speed v at which light travels in a material is called the refractive index n of the material (n = ⁠ c / v ⁠).
