(Jessica-move to strike this term. It seems to be an outdated term based on a very complicated process of engine cooling that seems to have worked itself out with higher cooling system pressures. However I will take the shot and the group can decide after that) Ebullition; the act of bubbling or boiling. Ebullition Cooling; One type of design for the cooling system of internal combustion engines as found in gas compressors.

The dispersion of fine particles of an immiscible liquid and/or solids with another liquid in which the particles are suspended.

The maximum temperature observed on the thermometer during an ASTM distillation test.

The heat content per unit mass of a material. In English units, this is expressed as Btu per pound above some base temperature. A thermodynamic property equalling the sum of a system's internal energy and the product of its pressure and volume.

Gas in the vapor phase trapped within a liquid because of the pressure and temperature surrounding the fluids.

Mist-sized liquid droplets carriedsuspended inby a vapor flow. Not to be confused with components in the vapor phase itself.

The measure of a system's thermal energy per unit temperature that is not available for useful work.

A paraffinic compound having the formula C2H6.

An operating mode or contractual term used in a gas processing plant where the majority of ethane is directed into the liquid stream.

An operating mode or contractual term used in a gas processing plant where the majority of ethane is directed into the gas stream.

An olefinic compound having the formula C2H4.

The decrease in volume due to product volitility.

A vessel or equipment used to heat or expand a liquid into its vapor phase.

The cooling obtained from the expansion of a gas. See "Joule-Thompson".

A centrifugal axial flow device through which a high pressure gas's volume is increased to produce work from the pressure, energy, gas, or steam.

The process of separating one material from another using effort or force.

A vessel from which a stream is batched or continuously fed for further processing.

Equipment through which a stream passes before the fluid reaches a plant or sales point.

The temperature at which half of a material has distilled during an ASTM D-86 distillation test.

A pipe having an extended external surface to increase the contact area with outside fluid.

The max temperature at which the distillate cannot be collected.

A furnace in which natural gas or other fuel is burned to provide energy in the form of heat.

Capable of being ignited.

Hydrocarbons in a vapor phase that are burned for the purpose of disposal.

The lowest temperature at which vapors from a liquid will ignite.
