Record 3 2006-06-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
  • Nuclear Physics
  • Coal Gasification
DEF

A chemical reaction that takes place with absorption of heat.

CONT

A nuclear reaction just as its chemical counterpart may be exoergic(kinetic energy is liberated) or endoergic(kinetic energy is absorbed).... In the case of endoergic reactions, energy must be supplied in the form of projectile kinetic energy to make the reaction possible.

CONT

The principal reactions in the gasifier are 1. Exothermic, oxidation of carbon and hydrogen in fuel .... 2. Endothermic, reactions of carbon with steam and CO2 ...

OBS

endoergic: (of a nuclear reaction) occurring with absorption of energy. Synonym: energy-absorbing.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
  • Physique nucléaire
  • Gazéification des charbons
DEF

Réaction qui s'effectue avec absorption de chaleur.

CONT

Il existe enfin la solution de la gazéification allothermique : on apporte de l'extérieur la chaleur nécessaire à la réaction endothermique de l'eau sur le charbon.

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Química
  • Física nuclear
  • Gasificación del carbón

Record 4 2006-06-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
  • Nuclear Physics
  • Coal Gasification
DEF

A nuclear reaction in which, roughly speaking, the maximum kinetic energy of the products exceeds that of the reactants ...

CONT

A nuclear reaction just as its chemical counterpart may be exoergic(kinetic energy is liberated) or endoergic(kinetic energy is absorbed).

CONT

The principal reaction in the gasifier are: 1. Exothermic, oxidation of carbon and hydrogen in fuel ... 2. Endothermic reactions of carbon with steam and CO2...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
  • Physique nucléaire
  • Gazéification des charbons
DEF

Réaction au cours de laquelle le système fournit de la chaleur au milieu extérieur.

OBS

Une réaction est dite exothermique si son processus produit de la chaleur.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Química
  • Física nuclear
  • Gasificación del carbón
OBS

Los intercambios termicos permiten definir la noción de calor de reacción [...] y de clasificar las reacciones en exotérmicas (que desprenden calor, engendrado por la ruptura de enlaces) y endotérmicas, que absorben calor [...]
