dispersion coefficient — 1. A measure of the spreading of a flowing substance due to the nature of the porous medium, with its interconnected channels distributed at random in all directions [22]. 2. The sum of the coefficients of mechanical dispersion and… … Lexicon of Cave and Karst Terminology
Mechanical alloying — (MA) is a solid state powder processing technique involving repeated cold welding, fracturing, and re welding of powder particles in a high energy ball mill. Originally developed to produce oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) nickel and iron base … Wikipedia
Dispersion stability — Dispersions are unstable from the thermodynamic point of view, however, they can be kinetically stable over a large period of time, which determines their shelf life. This time span needs to be measured in order to ensure the best product quality … Wikipedia
Mechanical bond — The mechanical bond is a type of chemical bond found in mechanically interlocked molecular architectures such as catenanes and rotaxanes. Unlike classical molecular structures, interlocked molecules consist of two or more separate components… … Wikipedia
hydrodynamic dispersion — 1. The spreading (at the macroscopic level) of the solute front during transport resulting from both mechanical dispersion and molecular diffusion [22]. 2. The dynamic dispersion of fluid particles in flow through a porous medium due to… … Lexicon of Cave and Karst Terminology
