Industry:Energy
The voltage that will rupture or puncture the material when placed between electrodes of a given size.
Industry:Energy
(1) Polarization of anode, that is, the decrease in the initial anode potential resulting from current flow effects at or near the anode surface. The potential becomes more noble (more positive) because of anodic polarization. (2) That portion of the cell polarization occurring at the anode.
Industry:Energy
A gas-proof, inflatable bag which can be inserted in a gas pipe and inflated to seal off the flow of the gas.
