  2. Liquefaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefaction

    In materials science, liquefaction [1] is a process that generates a liquid from a solid or a gas [2] or that generates a non-liquid phase which behaves in accordance with fluid dynamics. [3] It occurs both naturally and artificially .

  3. Soil liquefaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_liquefaction

    Studies of liquefaction features left by prehistoric earthquakes, called paleoliquefaction or paleoseismology, can reveal information about earthquakes that occurred before records were kept or accurate measurements could be taken. [21] Soil liquefaction induced by earthquake shaking is a major contributor to urban seismic risk.

  4. Liquefaction of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefaction_of_gases

    Liquefaction of gases is physical conversion of a gas into a liquid state (condensation). The liquefaction of gases is a complicated process that uses various compressions and expansions to achieve high pressures and very low temperatures, using, for example, turboexpanders .

  5. Liquefactive necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefactive_necrosis

    Liquefactive necrosis (or colliquative necrosis) is a type of necrosis which results in a transformation of the tissue into a liquid viscous mass. [1] Often it is associated with focal bacterial or fungal infections, and can also manifest as one of the symptoms of an internal chemical burn. [2]

  6. Sand boil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_boil

    Sand boils can be a mechanism contributing to liquefaction and levee failure during floods.Boil refers to the visible "boiling" movement of coarse sand grains retained in the hole even as finer particles (silts and fine sands) are carried out and deposited on the apron around the boil hole.

  7. Hampson–Linde cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampson–Linde_cycle

    Linde's 1895 patent.. The Hampson–Linde cycle is a process for the liquefaction of gases, especially for air separation. William Hampson and Carl von Linde independently filed for patents of the cycle in 1895: Hampson on 23 May 1895 and Linde on 5 June 1895.

  8. Coal liquefaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_liquefaction

    Coal liquefaction is a process of converting coal into liquid hydrocarbons: liquid fuels and petrochemicals. This process is often known as "Coal to X" or "Carbon to ...

  9. Chlorine production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine_production

    Non condensible gases and remaining chlorine gas are vented off as part of the pressure control of the liquefaction systems. These gases are routed to a gas scrubber, producing sodium hypochlorite , or used in the production of hydrochloric acid (by combustion with hydrogen) or ethylene dichloride (by reaction with ethylene ).
