High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A gas mask is a mask worn over the face to protect the wearer from inhaling "airborne pollutants" and toxic gases. The mask forms a sealed cover over the nose and mouth, but may also cover the eyes and other vulnerable soft tissues of the face. Some gas masks are also respirators, though the word gas mask is often used to refer to military equipment (e.g. Field Protective Mask, etc.) (The user of the gas mask is not protected from gas that the skin can absorb.) Airborne toxic materials may be gaseous (for example the chlorine gas used in World War I) or particulate (such as many biological agents developed for weapons such as bacteria, viruses and toxins). Many gas masks include protection from...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Gas porosity is the fraction of a rock or sediment filled with a gas. Determining the true porosity of a gas filled formation has always been a problem in the oil industry. While natural gas is a hydrocarbon, similar to oil, the physical properties of the fluids are very different, making it very hard to correctly quantify the total amount of gas in a formation. Well logging interpretation of the amount of hydrocarbon in the pore space of a formation, relies on the fluid being oil. Gas is light compared to oil causing density logging (gamma ray emitting sensors) based measurements to produce anomalous signals. Similarly, measurements that rely on detecting hydrogen (neutron emitting sensors)...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A Gas turbine locomotive is a locomotive powered by a gas turbine. The majority of gas turbine locomotives have had electric transmission but mechanical transmission has also been used, particularly in the early days. The advantage of using gas turbines is that they have very high power- to-bulk and power-to-weight ratios. The disadvantage is that gas turbines generally have lower thermal efficiency than diesel engines, especially when running at less than full load. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), also known as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, is an arc welding process that uses a nonconsumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by a shielding gas (usually an inert gas such as argon), and a filler metal is normally used, though some welds, known as autogenous welds, do not require it. A constant-current welding power supply produces energy which is conducted across the arc through a column of highly ionized gas and metal vapors known as a plasma. GTAW is most commonly used to weld thin sections of stainless steel and light metals such as aluminum, magnesium, and copper alloys. The process grants the operator greater control over the...

In this book, the harmonic oscillations of gas- filled axisymmetric acoustic cavities are considered. A mathematical model is developed to account for the full nonlinear behavior of the gas oscillations. The equations are cast in a weighted residual form which can be solved provided that the exact mode shapes are known. The model is proved to be accurate in capturing the formation of shock waves at large excitations. However, it is solvable only for resonators with simple geometries. A finite element model is developed based on the weak form of the governing equations in order to solve resonators of complex geometries. The model is integrated with the dynamics of axisymmetric piezoelectric bimorphs that are used in actuation. The...

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The gas generator cycle is a power cycle of a bipropellant rocket engine. Some of the propellant is burned in a gas-generator and the resulting hot gas is used to power the engine's pumps. The gas is then exhausted. Because something is "thrown away" this type of engine is also known as open cycle. There are several advantages to the gas generator cycle over its counterpart, the staged combustion cycle. The gas generator turbine does not need to deal with the counter pressure of injecting the exhaust into the combustion chamber. This allows the turbine to produce more power and increase the pressure of the fuel...

The gas-kinetic methods for viscous flow simulations have attracted much attention and become mature during the past decade. Ever since they were originally invented for compressible gas flows, the gas-kinetic methods have been extended to various viscous flow problems with a large number of applications. This book not only provides an introduction to the gas-kinetic methods, but also presents some recent progress on these useful and powerful methods. Besides the original gas-kinetic finite volume scheme for the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations, the book also covers in detail the following extensions of the method: the high order gas-kinetic Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for Navier-Stokes equations, the...

Ressourcenknappheit bei gleichzeitig wachsender Mobilitat machen ein Umdenken in der Energiepolitik notig. In den letzten Jahren ist Gas zunehmend ins Blickfeld der Automobilindustrie und der Politik geruckt: Erdgas, Flussiggas und Biogas sind noch in grosseren Mengen vorhanden und konnen eine Brucke zwischen klassischen Benzin- oder Dieselverbrennungsmotoren und dem Elektro- oder Brennstoffzellenauto schlagen. Wo jedoch liegen diese Gasressourcen und wie werden sie gefordert? Wie wird Gas als Kraftstoff fur moderne Fahrzeuge eingesetzt und welchen Beitrag leistet der Staat? Die Autorin Renee Schneider fuhrt in die Thematik ein, gibt einen Uberblick uber die unterschiedlichen Gasarten und die in den Fahrzeugen zu Grunde liegende Technik,...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE) or gasoline-equivalent gallon (GEG) is the amount of alternative fuel it takes to equal the energy content of one liquid gallon of gasoline. In 1994, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology or NIST defined "gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE) means 5.660 pounds of natural gas."GGE allows consumers to compare the energy content of competing fuels against a commonly known fuel—gasoline. Compressed natural gas (CNG), for example, is a gas rather than a liquid. It can be measured by its volume in cubic feet (ft ), by its weight in pounds (lb) or by its energy content in joules (J) or British thermal units (BTU) or kilowatt-hours (kW·h) It is...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A gasworks or gas house is a factory for the manufacture of gas. The use of natural gas has made many redundant in the developed world, however they are often still used for storage. Coal gas was introduced to Great Britain in the 1790s as an illuminating gas by the Scottish inventor William Murdoch. Early gasworks were usually located beside a river or canal so that coal could be brought in by barge. Transport was later shifted to railways and many gasworks had internal railway systems with their own locomotives. Early gasworks were built for factories in the Industrial Revolution from about 1805 as a light source and for industrial processes requiring gas, and for lighting in country houses...

Continuing to scale down the transistor size makes the adoption of high-k gate dielectrics and metal electrodes necessary. However, there are still a lot of problems with high-k transistors such as Fermi-level pinning (FLP), which affects flatband voltage ?Vfb?and threshold voltages (Vth) directly. This book summarizes three FLP mechanisms in gate stacks with high-k dielectrics and metal electrodes? a dipole formation through (1) the mechanism of oxygen vacancy formation in a high-k dielectric layer; (2) the hybridization between a metal gate and a high-k dielectric layer; and (3) the interaction between an interfacial SiO2 layer and a high-k dielectric layer. This book focuses on the study of FLP and dipoles induced by capping a thin...

The Gatling gun (1861) is one of the most well known early rapid-fire weapons and a forerunner to the modern machine gun. Its first combat usage, and the battlefield role it is most well-known for, was its use by the Union forces during the American Civil War in the 1860s. Later it was also famously used in the assault on San Juan Hill during the Spanish-American War. Developed following the 1851 invention of the mitrailleuse by the Belgian Army, the Gatling gun was originally designed by the American inventor Dr. Richard J. Gatling in 1861 and patented in 1862. He wrote that he created it to reduce the size of armies and so reduce the number of deaths by combat and disease. Although the first Gatling gun was capable of firing...

Named after the first vessel of this design, USS Gato (SS-212), the Gato-class and its successors, Balao and Tench, formed the majority of the United States Navy's WWII submarine fleet. Gatos name comes from a species of small catshark. Like other U.S. Navy submarines of the period, the Gato- class were all given the names of fish. A typical Gato-class submarine was armed with forward and aft torpedo tubes, a deck gun, and anti-aircraft cannon. Its propulsion system was diesel-electric; powered by diesel engines while surfaced and battery while submerged. Данное издание...

A gavel is a small ceremonial mallet commonly made of hardwood, typically fashioned with a handle and often struck against a sound block to enhance its sounding qualities. It is a symbol of the authority and right to act officially in the capacity of a chair or presiding officer. It is used to call for attention or to punctuate rulings and proclamations. It is customarily struck to indicate the opening and closing of proceedings, giving rise to the phrase gavel-to-gavel to describe the entirety of a meeting or session, and to indicate that an item has been sold in an auction. It is also commonly used in United States courts by judges Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга...
