  2. Sodium hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hydroxide

    The only hydrates with stable melting points are NaOH·H 2 O (65.10 °C) and NaOH·3.5H 2 O (15.38 °C). The other hydrates, except the metastable ones NaOH·3H 2 O and NaOH·4H 2 O (β) can be crystallized from solutions of the proper composition, as listed above. However, solutions of NaOH can be easily supercooled by many degrees, which ...

  3. Hygroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygroscopy

    Its seed pod contains two hygroscopic sclerenchyma fibre layers, nearly orthogonal, joining at the valves. During dehiscence the large 90° microfibril angle between endocarp layers, [ 23 ] combined with dual sided shrinkage, results in opposing helical torques [ 2 ] that force a suture at the weakest point, the seed case valves; their opening ...

  4. Gate valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_valve

    A gate valve, also known as a sluice valve, is a valve that opens by lifting a barrier (gate) out of the path of the fluid. Gate valves require very little space along the pipe axis and hardly restrict the flow of fluid when the gate is fully opened.

  5. Alkali hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali_hydroxide

    Similarly, potassium hydroxide is available as a solution used for cleaning terraces and other areas made out of wood. Both NaOH and KOH are also used in the production of soap and detergents (saponification). Due to their hygroscopic properties, alkali hydroxides are used as desiccants.

    Sugar does this because it is hygroscopic, which means it readily attracts and holds onto water. In flour, the gluten-forming proteins and starch granules act like a sponge to retain water.

    What Causes Good Greens To Go Bad. Unlike what the post suggests, leafy greens aren’t a major source of ethylene.But they are sensitive to produce that emits the gas. That’s why you should ...

  8. Gate (hydraulic engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_(hydraulic_engineering)

    Within the gate valve, there is a gatelike disk that moves up and down perpendicular to the path of flow and seats against two seat faces to shut off flow. The velocity of the fluid against a partly opened disk may cause vibration and chattering which will ultimately lead to damage to the seating surfaces. This is a common way that gate valves ...
