Abbreviation for "Not Elsewhere Specified."

The tendency of the strands of a line to fray out at the ends.

The ratio of the electric current density to the electric field in a material. Also called electrical conductivity or specific conductance.

The area between the layers of glazing (panes) of a window.

A metallic structure on which a compressor or other machine is mounted.

A means to increase the thermal efficiency of a steam electric generating system by converting some waste heat from the condenser into electricity. The heat engine in a bottoming cycle would be a condensing turbine similar in principle to a steam turbine ...

A type of inhibitor that appreciably changes the potential of u metal to a more noble (positive) value.

(1) A cell, the emf of which is due to the potential difference between a metal in an active state and the same metal in a passive state. (2) A corrosion cell in which the anode is a metal in the active state and the cathode is the same metal in the passi ...

An atmometer consisting of a porous porcelain or ceramic container connected to a calibrated reservoir filled with distilled water. Evaporation is determined by the depletion of water in the reservoir.

Any quantity, such as force velocity, or acceleration, which has both magnitude and direction at each point in space, as opposed to scalar which has magnitude only. Such a quantity may be represented geometrically by an arrow of length proportional to its ...
