An iron cleaning agent Limestone and lime react with impurities within the metallic pool to form a slag that floats to the top of the relatively heavier (and now more pure) liquid iron
The rate at which a Reverse Osmosis Membrane allows water to pass through it Fouling The deposition of organic matter on the membrane surface, which causes inefficiencies Fragmentation The subdivision of a solid in fragments The fragments will then adhere to the nearest surface
A substance that lowers the melting temperature of another substance For example, a flux is added to the batch in order to facilitate the fusing of the silica Fluxes are also added to enamels in order to lower their fusion point to below that of the glass body to which they are to be applied Potash and soda are fluxes
a rate of exchange of material into or out from a reservoir The Earth is a closed ecosystem, and yet many substances can be transformed or moved from reservoir to reservoir Therefore, we need to know the rates at which substances move (i e their fluxes) If we know the locations and sizes of the most important reservoirs, as well as the fluxes between and among the relevant reservoirs, we can often attain a quantitative understanding of important biogeochemical cycles
excessive discharge of liquid from a cavity or organ (as in watery diarrhea) a substance added to molten metals to bond with impurities that can then be readily removed the rate of flow of energy or particles across a given surface
In the field of atmospheric turbulence and boundary layers, often used as a contraction for flux density; namely, the flow of a quantity per unit area per unit time These fluxes can be defined in two forms: dynamic and kinematic The dynamic flux of a quantity is the flow of that quantity per unit area per unit time, where often the word dynamic is assumed if it is not explicitly stated The advantage of a kinematic flux is that it has units that are more easily measured by a conventional meteorological instrument (AMS, 2000)
a chemical substance that helps remove impurities in ore during the smelting process and also lowers the melting temperature of the metal being purified Flux makes the smelting process more efficient The flux used at LPIW was roasted lime stone or "lime"
Flux is a measure of light power Radiometric flux, expressed in watts, includes light at all wavelengths of the spectrum; ultraviolet (200 to 400 nm), visible (400 to 700 nm), and infrared (700 to 30000 nm) Luminous flux is a measure of photometric power Photometric flux, expressed in lumens, includes only visible light, and is weighted to match the responsivity of the human eye, which is most sensitive to yellow-green
Flow per unit of area per unit of time The term flux may be used to describe a flow of energy (usually measured in watts per square meter) or a flow of gas or liquid (sometimes measured in grams per square meter per day) (Source: Mintzer, 1992)
A substance that lowers the melting or softening temperature of the mix or compound in which it is present The degree of melting that occurs depends on the particle size of the powders present and the melting temperature of the individual particles It also depends on whether material particles present are premelted and whether they soften or melt suddenly Fluxing oxides are those of the RO group and include ones like K2O, Na2O, CaO, Li2O, MgO B2O3 is actually considered a glass former but it is also regarded as a flux by virtue of its low melting temperature
a state of uncertainty about what should be done (usually following some important event) preceding the establishment of a new direction of action; "the flux following the death of the emperor"
a flow or discharge a state of uncertainty about what should be done (usually following some important event) preceding the establishment of a new direction of action; "the flux following the death of the emperor"
a generic term having different meanings in different fields of study In radiation studies, it can refer to the amount of radiant energy passing through a unit area (i e , watts per square meter); in biogeochemical cycles, it may indicate the time rate of change of a given species such as carbon into or out of a particular reservoir (i e , teragrams of carbon per year)
The product of the particle (neutron or photon) density (i e , number per cubic centimeter) and the particle velocity The flux is expressed as particles per square centimeter per second and is related to the absorbed dose rate It is numerically equal to the total number of particles passing in all directions through a sphere of 1 square centimeter cross-sectional area per second
In refining, a material used to remove undesirable substances as a molten mixture It may also be used as a protective covering for molten metal In welding, a material used to prevent the formation of, or to dissolve and facilitate the removal of, oxides and other undesirable substances
Flux is any compound used to prevent oxidation of the welding surface and aid in removing impurities Borax powder is commonly used as the flux for a forge weld Products such as Boraxo laundry powder are sufficient to act as a flux but adulterants may leave a lingering white stain on the metal There are many specialty chemical compounds sold as welding/brazing/soldering flux Inert gases such as Argon or CO2 are used as flux in some electric welding methods
If something is in a state of flux, it is constantly changing. Education remains in a state of flux which will take some time to settle down. a situation in which things are changing a lot and you cannot be sure what will happen (fluxus, past participle of fluere ). In metallurgy, any substance introduced in the smelting of ores to promote fluidity and to remove objectionable impurities in the form of slag. Limestone is commonly used for this purpose in smelting iron ores. Other materials used as fluxes are silica, dolomite, lime, borax, and fluorite. In soldering, the flux removes oxide films, promotes wetting, and prevents reoxidation of the surfaces during heating. Rosin is widely used as a noncorrosive flux when electronic equipment is soldered; in other applications, a water solution of zinc chloride and ammonium chloride may be used
A state of magnetic resonance One bit of data is represented on the disk surface as one flux reversal, which can be switched on or off by an electromagnetic head A flux change (or reversal) induces a change in the direction of current of the read/write head coil, which is read as either a one or a zero A flux change is the transition of the flux lines of the North and South poles of a magnet
in constant change; "his opinions are in flux"; "the newness and flux of the computer industry" a flow or discharge a state of uncertainty about what should be done (usually following some important event) preceding the establishment of a new direction of action; "the flux following the death of the emperor" excessive discharge of liquid from a cavity or organ (as in watery diarrhea) a substance added to molten metals to bond with impurities that can then be readily removed the rate of flow of energy or particles across a given surface
