GASES
n.
A mountain or hill, usually more or less conical in form, from which lava, cinders, steam, sulphur gases, and the like, are ejected; -- often popularly called a burning mountain.
n.
The quality or state of being rare; rareness; thinness; as, the rarity (contrasted with the density) of gases.
a.
Made up of parts, as molecules or atoms, which mutually repel each other; as, gases are self-repelling.
a.
Not condensible; incapable of being liquefied; -- said of gases.
a.
Pertaining to, or depending upon, both liquid and gaseous substances; as, hydropneumatic apparatus for collecting gases over water or other liquids.
a.
Being in such a state that the component parts move freely among themselves, but do not tend to separate from each other as the particles of gases and vapors do; neither solid nor aeriform; as, liquid mercury, in distinction from mercury solidified or in a state of vapor.
n.
An artificial firework consisting of a cylindrical case of paper or metal filled with a composition of combustible ingredients, as niter, charcoal, and sulphur, and fastened to a guiding stick. The rocket is projected through the air by the force arising from the expansion of the gases liberated by combustion of the composition. Rockets are used as projectiles for various purposes, for signals, and also for pyrotechnic display.
a.
To release from restraint or bondage; to set at liberty; to free; to manumit; to disengage; as, to liberate a slave or prisoner; to liberate the mind from prejudice; to liberate gases.
n.
Sectional area of the passage for gases divided by the length of the same passage in feet.
n.
A firework which, while burning, is caused to revolve on an axis by the reaction of the escaping gases.
n.
A self-acting apparatus for regulating temperature by the unequal expansion of different metals, liquids, or gases by heat, as in opening or closing the damper of a stove, or the like, as the heat becomes greater or less than is desired.
n.
A quality analogous to that of a viscous fluid, supposed to be caused by internal friction, especially in the case of gases.
n.
An instrument for measuring the volumes of gases or liquids by introducing them into a vessel of known capacity.
n.
A small pipe forming part of the boiler, containing water and surrounded by flame or hot gases, or else surrounded by water and forming a flue for the gases to pass through.
v. t.
To take in and retain; to absorb; -- said especially with respect to gases; as iron, platinum, and palladium occlude large volumes of hydrogen.
v.
To ascend or float in a fluid, as gases or vapors in air, cork in water, and the like.
n.
The science of the determination of the density of vapors and gases.
n.
The passing of gases through fine tubes, porous substances, or the like; as, transpiration through membranes.
n.
An instrument for measuring the tension or elastic force of gases, steam, etc., constructed usually on the principle of allowing the gas to exert its elastic force in raising a column of mercury in an open tube, or in compressing a portion of air or other gas in a closed tube with mercury or other liquid intervening, or in bending a metallic or other spring so as to set in motion an index; a pressure gauge. See Pressure, and Illust. of Air pump.
n.
An effect produced upon the plates of a voltaic battery, or the electrodes in an electrolytic cell, by the deposition upon them of the gases liberated by the action of the current. It is chiefly due to the hydrogen, and results in an increase of the resistance, and the setting up of an opposing electro-motive force, both of which tend materially to weaken the current of the battery, or that passing through the cell.
