3. Rendering (animal products) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendering_(animal_products)

   After rendering, they are much more resistant. This is due to the application of heat either through cooking in the wet rendering process or the extraction of fluid in the dry rendering process. The fat obtained can be used as low-cost raw material in making grease, animal feed, soap, candles, biodiesel, and as a feed-stock for the chemical ...

4. Conversion of scales of temperature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_scales_of...

   This is a collection of temperature conversion formulas and comparisons among eight different temperature scales, several of which have long been obsolete.. Temperatures on scales that either do not share a numeric zero or are nonlinearly related cannot correctly be mathematically equated (related using the symbol =), and thus temperatures on different scales are more correctly described as ...

5. Scale of temperature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_of_temperature

   This definition also precisely related the Celsius scale to the Kelvin scale, which defines the SI base unit of thermodynamic temperature with symbol K. Absolute zero, the lowest temperature possible, is defined as being exactly 0 K and −273.15 °C. Until 19 May 2019, the temperature of the triple point of water was defined as exactly 273.16 ...

6. Paraffin wax - Wikipedia
