Conceptually, it consists of two conducting plates separated by a thin insulating dielectric layer ; in practice, thin metal foils are coiled together, increasing the surface area per unit volume and therefore the capacitance.

Once the fault has locked, continued relative motion between the plates leads to increasing stress and therefore, stored strain energy in the volume around the fault surface.

The rupture velocity is a function of the fracture energy in the volume around the crack tip, increasing with decreasing fracture energy.

Keeping competitive factors constant, increasing auction volume may further increase competition.

ADH binds to principal cells in the collecting duct that translocate aquaporins to the membrane, allowing water to leave the normally impermeable membrane and be reabsorbed into the body by the vasa recta, thus increasing the plasma volume of the body.

In other words, miscible materials usually form a solution not because their interaction with each other is more favorable than their self-interaction, but because of an increase in entropy and hence free energy associated with increasing the amount of volume available to each component.

China produces an increasing volume of televisions both for domestic use and export, which has helped to spread communications development.

While an urban legend, a 1999 television documentary, part of the Modern Marvels ' Engineering Disasters sub-series, argued that — even if there was no specific plan to make alcohol to beat Prohibition — there may have been some general idea of increasing the volume at the last minute so as to prepare in case total alcohol prohibition might occur.

Tape drives are used with autoloaders and tape libraries which automatically load, unload, and store multiple tapes, increasing the volume of data which can be stored without manual intervention.

Both governments have set the target of increasing trade volume to USD 10 billion by 2010.

Contraction of the diaphragm pulls the bottom of the cavity in which the lung is enclosed downward, increasing volume and thus decreasing pressure, causing air to flow into the airways.

AD and AE are respectively the energy and entropy of the body in its initial state ; AB and AC its available energy ( Helmholtz free energy ) and its capacity for entropy ( the amount by which the entropy of the body can be increased without changing the energy of the body or increasing its volume ).

Maintenance of dilute urine by means of vigorous fluid therapy is beneficial in all forms of nephrolithiasis, so increasing urine volume is a key principle for the prevention of kidney stones.

A prediction of this hypothesis is that the cirrus would move higher as the temperatures rose, increasing the volume of air underneath the clouds and the amount of infrared radiation reflected back down to earth.

For years visitors entered the museum through its original main entrance, but it was too small to handle an increasing volume of visitors.

Inside the tower, the downflowing reflux liquid provides cooling and condensation of the upflowing vapors thereby increasing the efficiency of the distillation tower.

At temperatures above 273 K ( 0 ° C ), increasing the pressure on water vapor results first in liquid water and then a high-pressure form of ice.

This means that the vapor can be condensed to a liquid or to a solid by increasing its pressure without reducing the temperature.

The heat of vaporization diminishes with increasing temperature and it vanishes completely at the critical temperature ( T < sub > r </ sub >= 1 ) because above the critical temperature the liquid and vapor phases no longer co-exist.

* as an aid for increasing the solubility of drugs in liquid and semi-liquid dosage forms ( syrups, soft gelatine capsules ) and as an inhibitor of recrystallisation

Commercial dishwashers are able to deal with the problem of hard-to-clean deep containers by increasing the spray force and liquid volume by using a large pump motor of several horsepower, and large diameter spray arms with larger jet openings, allowing much more water spray than is possible for a residential dishwasher with limited power draw.

This departure from nucleate boiling caused steam voids in coolant channels, blocking the flow of liquid coolant and greatly increasing the fuel plate temperature.

The burning propane gas escaping from the valve connection on the rail car quickly heated the liquid propane inside, increasing the tank pressure.

In practice, the term " radiator " refers to any of a number of devices in which a liquid circulates through exposed pipes ( often with fins or other means of increasing surface area ), notwithstanding that such devices tend to transfer heat mainly by convection and might logically be called convectors.

The shaking action nucleates the dissolution of CO < sub > 2 </ sub > from the liquid as bubbles, increasing the internal volume.

Inside the tower, the reflux liquid flowing downwards provides the cooling needed to condense the vapors flowing upwards, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the distillation tower.

Capillary action acts on concave menisci to pull the liquid up, increasing favorable contact area between liquid and container, and on convex menisci to pull the liquid down, reducing the amount of contact area.

Inside the column, the downflowing reflux liquid provides cooling and condensation of upflowing vapors thereby increasing the efficacy of the distillation tower.

By increasing the temperature and pressure he forced the liquid into a supercritical fluid state where by dropping the pressure he could instantly gasify and remove the liquid inside the aerogel, avoiding damage to the delicate three-dimensional network.

However, when the proteins are moving through a sucrose gradient, they encounter liquid of increasing density and viscosity.

Subpixel rendering works by increasing the luminance reconstruction points of a colour subpixelated screen, such as a liquid crystal display ( LCD ) or organic light-emitting diode ( OLED ) display.

The oxidizer and fuel preburner oxidizer valves increase or decrease the liquid oxygen flow, thus increasing or decreasing preburner chamber pressure, HPOTP and HPFTP turbine speed, and liquid oxygen and gaseous hydrogen flow into the main combustion chamber, which increases or decreases engine thrust.

Together, along with continued improvements in the liquid crystals themselves, and by increasing refresh rates from 60 Hz to 120 and 240 Hz, response times fell from 20 ms in 2000 to about 2 ms in the best modern displays.

In cooking, thickening is the process of increasing the viscosity of a liquid either by reduction, or by the addition of a thickening agent, typically containing starch.

He found that pressure increases luminosity, so that hydrogen, for example, the flame of which gives no light in normal circumstances, burns with a luminous flame under a pressure of ten or twenty atmospheres, and the inference he drew was that the presence of solid particles is not the only factor that determines the light-giving power of a flame, Further, he showed that the spectrum of a dense ignited gas resembles that of an incandescent liquid or solid, and he traced a gradual change in the spectrum of an incandescent gas under increasing pressure, the sharp lines observable when it is extremely attenuated broadening out to nebulous bands as the pressure rises, till they merge in the continuous spectrum as the gas approaches a density comparable with that of the liquid state.
