surface hardening — ▪ metallurgy treatment of steel by heat or mechanical means to increase the hardness of the outer surface while the core remains relatively soft. The combination of a hard surface and a soft interior is greatly valued in modern engineering… … Universalium
Surface energy — [ Contact angle measurements can be used to determine the surface energy of a material. Here, a drop of water on glass.] Surface energy quantifies the disruption of intermolecular bonds that occurs when a surface is created. In the physics of… … Wikipedia
Surface photovoltage — (SPV) measurements are a widely used method to determine the minority carrier diffusion length of semiconductors. Since the transport of minority carriers determines the behavior of the p n junctions that are ubiquitous in semiconductor devices,… … Wikipedia
Surface-mount technology — (SMT) is a method for constructing electronic circuits in which the components (SMC, or Surface Mounted Components) are mounted directly onto the surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs). Electronic devices so made are called surface mount… … Wikipedia
Surface tension — For the work of fiction, see Surface Tension (short story). Surface tension is a property of the surface of a liquid that causes it to behave as an elastic sheet. It allows insects, such as the water strider (pond skater, UK), to walk on water.… … Wikipedia
Contact angle — Cloth, treated to be hydrophobic, shows a high contact angle. The contact angle is the angle at which a liquid/vapor interface meets a solid surface. The contact angle is specific for any given system and is determined by the interactions across … Wikipedia
Contact lens — Contacts redirects here. For the software application, see Address book. A pair of contact lenses, positioned with the concave side facing upward … Wikipedia
surface analysis — ▪ chemistry Introduction in analytical chemistry (chemistry), the study of that part of a solid that is in contact with a gas or a vacuum. When two phases of matter are in contact, they form an interface. The term surface is usually… … Universalium
Surface runoff — Runoff flowing into a stormwater drain Surface runoff is the water flow that occurs when soil is infiltrated to full capacity and excess water from rain, meltwater, or other sources flows over the land. This is a major component of the water… … Wikipedia
Surface forces apparatus — The surface force apparatus (SFA) is a scientific instrument and technique pioneered by D. Tabor, R.H.S. Winterton, J.N. Israelachvili in the early 1970s at Cambridge University. By the mid 70 s Israelachvili had adapted the original design to… … Wikipedia
Surface condenser — A surface condenser is a commonly used term for a water cooled shell and tube heat exchanger installed on the exhaust steam from a steam turbine in thermal power stations.[1][2][3] These condensers are heat exchangers which convert steam from its … Wikipedia
