Baffle Chamber
In incinerator design, a chamber designed to promote the settling of fly ash and coarse particulate matter by changing the direction and/or reducing the velocity of the gases produced by the combustion of the refuse or sludge.
chamber - as regards the U.S. government, either the House of Representatives or the Senate.
chlorination byproducts - cancer-causing chemicals created when chlorine used for water disinfection combines with dirt and organic matter in water.

surge chamber A chamber or tank connected to a pipe and located at or near a valve that may quickly open or close or a pump that may suddenly start or stop.
A chamber in which air is injected into wastewater to allow microscopic organisms to clean the water (see Activated Sludge).
Algae
The simplest kind of green plants, usually found growing in damp or wet places.
A chamber used to inject air into water.
Aerobe
Bacteria that use oxygen as an electron acceptor.
A chamber used to inject air into water.
Aerobic
Life or processes that require, or are not destroyed by, the presence of oxygen. (See: anaerobic).
A three-chamber filtering practice design completely below the ground surface. Stormwater is diverted to the sedimentation chamber, and then flows to the filter bed chamber.
Ionisation Chamber
The ionisation chamber is a device designed to measure Ionising Radiation exposure. In simple terms it consists of a chamber which may either be sealed (containing a gas) or vented to free air.
Settling Chamber: A series of screens placed in the way of flue gases to slow the stream of air, thus helping gravity to pull particles into a collection device.
Pugmill: A chamber in which water and soil are mixed together. Typically mixing is aided by an internal mechanical stirring/kneading device.
Ionization Chamber- A device that measures the intensity of ionizing radiation.
Ionizing Radiation- Radiation that can strip electrons from atoms; e.g. alpha, beta, and gamma radiation.
Ionization Chamber
An instrument that detects and measures ionizing radiation by measuring the electrical current that flows when radiation ionizes gas in a chamber, making the gas a conductor of electricity.
Ionizing Radiation ...
Magma chamber:a reservoir of magma beneath Earth's surface. Magnitude:the power of an earthquake. Mantle:thick, dense layer of rock that lies beneath Earth's crust.
Chlorine-contact chamber: The part of a water treatment plant where effluent is disinfected by chlorine.
Dynamic Environmental Chamber Well-controlled system that utilizes realistic air flows for the assessment of chemical emissions from products and materials. Back to top ^

WATER UPTAKE - PRESSURE CHAMBER
Plant scientists routinely utilize a tool known as a pressure chamber to measure the water potential in the xylem of woody plants.
Exhaust Gas Recirculation System (EGR) - The controlled diversion of some of the combustion gases back into the combustion chamber, lowering the combustion temperature and reducing nitrogen oxides in the engine.
infiltration gallery : A subsurface groundwater collection system, typically shallow in depth, constructed with openjointed or perforated pipes that discharge collected water into a water-tight chamber.
Emission Spectrum - a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation containing narrow spectral lines from an element. [Chambers Nuclear Energy and Radiation Dictionary; p.152, W&R Chambers Ltd., 1992][A Dictionary of Spectroscopy; 2nd ed., p.
Furnace - a combustion chamber; an enclosed structure in which fuel is burned to heat air or material
G ...
An incinerator with a rotating combustion chamber. The rotation helps mix the wastes and promotes more complete burning. They can accept gases, liquids, sludges, tars and solids, either separately or together, in bulk or in containers.
In harnessing wave power, the back-and-forth or up-and-down movement of waves can be captured, for example, to force air in and out of a chamber to drive a piston or spin a turbine that can power a generator.
Refractory: material able to withstand dramatic heat variations which may be used to construct conventional combustion chambers in incinerators.
Controlled methods of composting include mechanical mixing and aerating, ventilating the materials by dropping them through a vertical series of aerated chambers, ...
a device or system used to tell if radiation is present and/or to tell how much and what type of radiation is present. Common instruments are Geiger-Mueller detectors (GM), scintillation detectors (such as sodium iodide detectors), and ion chambers.
Thermal springs owe their heat content to the natural geothermal heat created by the hot core of the earth and the decay of radioactive minerals in the lithosphere and to underground magma chambers in volcanic regions.
