liquefaction
Process of, or state of having been, made liquid
liquefied
Simple past tense and past participle of liquefy. Alternative spelling of liquified
liquefier
A device used to liquify gases (by cooling and compression)
liquified
Converted into a liquid state
liquified
Simple past tense and past participle of liquify
liquefaction
{n} the act of melting, a melted state
liquefier
{n} that which melts or makes liquid
liquefaction
Changing a solid into a liquid
liquefaction
Transformation of a granular material (soil) from a solid state into a liquefied state as a consequence of increased pore-water pressure induced by earthquakes
liquefaction
The conversion of moderately cohesive, unconsolidated sediment into a fluid, water-saturated mass
liquefaction
The loss of strength that can occur in loose, saturated soil during or following seismic shaking This condition can produce a number of ground effects, including lateral spreading, boils, ground lurching, and settlement of fill material
liquefaction
A process, in which, during ground shaking, some sandy, water-saturated soils can behave like liquids rather than solids
liquefaction
Temporary transformation of a soil mass of soil or sediment into a fluid mass Occurs when the cohesion of particles in the soil or sediment is lost Often triggered by seismic waves from an earthquake For this condition to take place the pore spaces between soil particles must be at or near saturation
liquefaction
The first major step in the conversion of starch to syrup The starch as a raw material comes as dry matter and needs to be first gelatinized and liquefied to make it susceptible to further enzymatic breakdown This is achieved by adding a temperature-stable enzyme to the starch suspension The mechanical part of the process involves the use of stirred tank reactors, continuous stirred tank reactors or jet cookers
liquefaction
A phenomenon during an earthquake whereby the ground/soil turns into a highly unstable, jelly-like substance
liquefaction
The process of converting biomass from a solid to a liquid The conversion process is a chemical change that takes place at elevated temperatures and pressures
liquefaction
the transformation of a gas into a liquid
liquefaction
A process by which water-saturated sediment temporarily loses strength and acts as a fluid, like when you wiggle your toes in the wet sand near the water at the beach This effect can be caused by earthquake shaking (See also Earthquake FAQ discussion )
liquefaction
The conversion of coal to liquid hydrocarbons by reacting coal slurry with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst (in a turbulent flow, packed bed reactor)
liquefaction
Process where water-saturated sediment (sandy material) temporarily looses strength, usually because of an earthquake, and behaves like a fluid Soil or sand changes from solid ground and behaves like a liquid, which can cause the ground above the liquified sediment to break into small blocks The movement of the land surface, known as lateral spreading, can cause serious damage to buildings, bridges, underground pipes, water lines, and sewers
liquefaction
{i} process of causing to become liquid, transformation into a liquid
liquefaction
The act or operation of making or becoming liquid; especially, the conversion of a solid into a liquid by the sole agency of heat
liquefaction
the process of converting a fuel (e g coal, natural gas) into a liquid (e g coalgas, LNG)
liquefaction
Transformation of water-saturated granular material from the solid state to a liquid state
liquefaction
The process of converting coal into a synthetic liquid fuel, similar in nature to crude oil and other refined products
liquefaction
The state of being liquid
liquefaction
Shaking caused by an earthquake can cause the transformation of some loosely packed, water saturated sediments, such as sand and mud, into a fluid mass The sediments thus lose their strength and can no longer support buildings which may then sink or lean
liquefaction
The act, process, or method, of reducing a gas or vapor to a liquid by means of cold or pressure; as, the liquefaction of oxygen or hydrogen
liquefaction
A process by which formerly-firm soil can turn into quicksand This often happens during an earthquake, when wet sand grains that are loosely bound together flow over one another, depriving anything (and anybody) standing on the surface of all support Liquefaction was a major factor in the destruction of Port Royal in 1692
liquefaction
– The process of converting coal into a synthetic fuel, similar in nature to crude oil and/or refined products, such as gasoline
liquefaction
The process of melting a solid by heating Liquefied material does not require continued heating to maintain fluidity
liquefaction
The process in which a solid (soil) takes on the characteristics of a liquid as a result of an increase in pore pressure and a reduction in stress In other words, solid ground turns to jelly
liquefaction
the act of making something a liquid or of becoming a liquid
liquefaction
the conversion of a solid or a gas into a liquid
liquefaction
Liquefaction is the state or process in which soil material is transformed from a solid into a liquid state This occurs due to increased pore pressure and reduced effective stress Soil may become liquefied, for example, during and immediately following an earthquake
liquefaction
Process of or state of having been, made liquid
liquefaction
The change to the liquid phase The condensation of a gas to a liquid
liquefied
reduced to a liquid state; "liquefied petroleum gas"
