All of the free fat then forms the continuous phases in which water droplets are distributed to form butter. Working of butter is accomplished by continuous rotation of the churn until the body of butter is closely knit to show a waxy character with no visible pockets of surface moisture. The working of butter is continued to standardize moisture until the fat content of butter is 80%. 2, record 1, English, - butter%20working

Wall clouds can range from a fraction of a mile up to nearly five miles in diameter, and normally are found on the south or southwest(inflow) side of the thunderstorm. Even though this cloud is lowering, it remains attached to the rain free cloud base of the thunderstorm. It is usually located south or southwest of the visible precipitation area, and marks the strongest updraft in the thunderstorm. The wall cloud develops as the strong updraft draws in surface moisture from several miles away. 3, record 2, English, - wall%20cloud

The objective of this specification is to provide a finished product that will lie flat and resist wrinkling, puckering, and shrinking when left exposed to the sun, rain, frost, or dew for a period of two weeks after application. In the process of manufacture, a single thickness of organic dry felt shall be uniformly saturated with an asphaltic saturant and the felt shall be produced principally from organic fibers. The surface of the felt shall be uniform and relatively smooth and upon splitting or tearing on the bias, the felt shall appear free of lumps or particles of foreign substances. The material shall conform to the prescribed physical requirements such as tear strength, pliability, loss on heating, liquid water transmission, breaking strength, and dimensional stability, and to the specified dimension and mass requirements such as roll width, roll area, net mass of saturated felt, net mass of desaturated felt, saturation, moisture, and saturating efficiency.

Influence de la maçonnerie : les briques contiennent de l'argile, du sable très fin, des carbonates et de l'oxyde de fer (entre 2 et 4 %). La teneur en eau libre, qui dépend de la porosité (20 à 30 % en volume) et de la cuisson, est comprise entre 1 et 4 % en volume. Pour les bétons, cette teneur peut aller jusqu'à 10 % dans les murs humides et froids, et la porosité est d'au moins 27 %. Le pH du béton frais non encore carboné est de 12,5, mais en vieillissant la carbonatation la fait descendre à 7. 2, record 11, French, - teneur%20en%20eau%20libre

Beside its family of well known dihydrate processes..., over the last twenty five years PRAYON has developed a dihydrate-hemihydrate process that produces merchant grade calcium sulfate together with 36% P205 acid. As the calcium sulfate is obtained as wet alpha-hemihydrate, it contains very little water and, if allowed to cure, will naturally rehydrate by combining with its free moisture to produce a "selfdried" gypsum. 1, record 12, English, - alpha%20hemihydrate

[Paper drying] The drying rate varies along the machine. The first two or three cylinders into the drying section serve principally to raise the temperature of the sheet(the "warm-up zone"). Evaporation then quickly reaches a peak rate which is maintained as long as water is present on the fiber surfaces or within the large capillaries("constant rate zone"). At the point where the remaining free moisture is concentrated in the smaller capillaries, the rate begins to decrease("falling rate zone"). Finally, at about 9% moisture, the residual water within the sheet is more tightly held by physicochemical forces, and the evaporation rate is further reduced("bound water zone"). 1, record 14, English, - falling%20rate%20zone
