Definition of entrainment in English English dictionary
The alignment of an organism's circadian rhythm to that of an external rhythm in its environment
Any of several processes in which a solid or liquid is put into motion by a fluid
The mixing of air currents.
(1) The passage of organisms through the cooling systems of, for example, power plants (2) Ambient water being brought into the cooling plumes as the effluents are discharged from power plants
mobilization, by flowing water, of sediment or organic debris from the bed or banks of a stream channel
Gas is added into the powerhouse flow, increasing the level of total dissolved gas, as the result of the amount of spill going over the spillway into the tailrace of the dam
— synchronization of a rhythm (such as a circadian rhythm) to a repetitive signal or environmental cue (such as the rising or setting of the sun)
The loss of oil from containment when it is pulled under a boom by a strong current Entrainment typically occurs from booms deployed perpendicular to currents greater than 1 knot (0 5 meter per second)
the mixing of environmental air into a rising air parcel; has the effect of reducing instability (Entrainment)
One of three distinct processes involved in erosion Is the process of particle lifting by an agent of erosion
The process of drawing fish into diversions along with water, resulting in the loss of such fish
The loss of oil from containment when it is pulled under a boom by a strong current
The process whereby gases generated in the cell carry electrolyte through the vent cap
The process of being captured in cooling water of a power plant This usually applied to small organisms such as fish larvae and zooplankton
The drawing of fish and other aquatic organisms into tubes or tunnels carrying water for cooling purposes into thermal plants, or for power generating purposes into hydroelectric plants Entrainment increases mortality rates for those organisms
The incorporation of air (bubbles) as a dispersed phase in a liquid Air entrainment may result from mechanical means or by sudden environmental changes The presence of entrained air is usually obvious from the hazy, opaque, or bubbly physical appearance of the liquid while dissolved air can only be determined by specific testing
The incorporation of air in the form of bubbles as a dispersed phase in the bulk liquid Air may be entrained in a liquid through mechanical means and/or by release of dissolved air due to a sudden change in environment The presence of entrained air is usually readily apparent from the appearance of the liquid (i e , bubbly, opaque, etc ) while dissolved air can only be determined by analysts
