particles propelled at a velocity sufficient to cause cleaning or wearing away of a surface.

n: the property by which a fluid in motion offers resistance to shear and flow. Usually expressed as newton seconds/metre.

the measure of a fluid’s ability to resist flow without regards to its density. It is defined as a fluid’s kinematic viscosity multiplied by its density.

n: 1. a state or county tax based on the value of a property. 2. tax imposed at a percent of a value.

n: 1. in general, a substance added in small amounts to a larger amount of another substance to change some characteristic of the latter. In the oil industry, additives are used in lubricating oil, fuel, drilling mud, and cement. 2. in cementing, a substance added to cement to change its characteristics to satisfy specific conditions in die well. A cement additive may work as an accelerator, retarder, dispersant, or other reactant.

n: The agent put into the drilling fluid in order to change some performances of the drilling fluid or slurry.

a compound incorporated into a gas, liquid, or solid system to alter the properties for a particular purpose.

n: a method of asserting and gaining title to property against other claimants, including the owner of record. The claim through adverse possession must include certain acts (as required by statute) over an uninterrupted interval of time. It must also be, in most states, open," "notorious," and "hostile."

n: a body of air that remains for an extended period of time over a large land or sea area with uniform heating and cooling properties. The air mass will acquire characteristics (such as temperature and moisture content) of the underlying region.

n: a substance having marked basic (alkaline) properties, such as a hydroxide of an alkali metal. See base.

n: Any compound having pH properties higher than the neutral state.

a strongly basic solution.

n: a process for manufacturing components for 100-octane gasoline. An alkyl group is introduced into an organic compound either with or without a catalyst. Now usually used to mean alkylation of isobutane with propene, butenes, or hexenes in d1e presence of concentrated sulphuric acid or anhydrous hydrofluoric acid.

a reverse cracking process that convents hydrocarbon light ends (olefins) into longer chain, liquid fuels.

n: a substance with metallic properties that comprises two or more elements in solid solution. See ferrous alloy, nonferrous alloy.

n: Examination and testing of the drilling fluid to determine its physical and chemical properties and condition.
