5 Advanced techniques for determining thermal properties on
rock samples and cuttings and indirect estimating for
atmospheric and formation conditions terms
This glossary is devoted to the article "Advanced techniques for determining thermal properties on
rock samples and cuttings and indirect estimating for
atmospheric and formation conditions
". I want to improve my vocabulary via it.
diffusivity
Noun
a measure of the capability of a substance or energy to be diffused or to allow something to pass by diffusion.
Example: Serious typical current problems in investigations of rock thermal properties (thermal conductivity,
thermal diffusivity, volumetric heat capacity, coefficient of linear thermal expansion) is caused by the
fact that most of measuring methods and instruments were designed to study the thermal properties of
industrial materials.
ru: Диффузионная способность
Reliable
Adjective
Consistently good in quality or performance; able to be trusted.
Example: Determination of thermal conductivity versus temperature characteristics for solid filling
material including correction for thermal conductivity obtained with DTC-300 at room
temperature using thermal conductivity of filling material (λ01) obtained with thermal
conductivity scanner (TCS) as non-contact optical scanning method provides more reliable
data than contact method
ru: Надежный
volumetric
adjective
based on measuring the volumes of reagents, especially by titration.
Example: Serious typical current problems in investigations of rock thermal properties (thermal conductivity,
thermal diffusivity, volumetric heat capacity, coefficient of linear thermal expansion) is caused by the
fact that most of measuring methods and instruments were designed to study the thermal properties of
industrial materials.
ru: Объемный
wax
Noun
a sticky yellowish mouldable substance secreted by honeybees as the material of a honeycomb;
Example: Pressing a mixture of wax with particles of various materials in most cases allows creating stable
SS, but the volume fraction of rock cuttings in such sample is about 60% while air volume is about 5-
10%
ru: Воск, парафин
workflow
Noun
the sequence of industrial, administrative, or other processes through which a piece of work passes from initiation to completion.
Example: A following workflow for synthetic sample fabricating was developed
