Production of liquid fuel from coal.
A sudden large decrease in the shearing resistance of a cohesionless soil, caused by a collapse of the structure by shock or strain, and associated with a sudden but temporary increase of the pore fluid pressure.
The process by which ejaculate turns from a jellylike consistency to liquid.
The conversion of moderately cohesive, unconsolidated sediment into a fluid, water-saturated mass.
Transformation of water-saturated granular material from the solid state to a liquid state.
The conversion of coal to liquid hydrocarbons by reacting coal slurry with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst (in a turbulent flow, packed bed reactor).
Temporary transformation of a soil mass of soil or sediment into a fluid mass. Occurs when the cohesion of particles in the soil or sediment is lost. Often triggered by seismic waves from an earthquake. For this condition to take place the pore spaces between soil particles must be at or near saturation.
Conversion of coal into a liquid hydrocarbon that can be transported by pipeline and burned as a liquid.
A process by which water-saturated materials (including soil, sediment, and certain types of volcanic deposits) lose strength and may fail during strong groundshaking. The transformation of granular material from a solid state into a liquefied state as a consequence of increased pore-water pressure.
the transformation of a gas into a liquid
Loss of strength of loosely-packed, waterlogged sediments in response to strong shaking; a cause for major damage during earthquakes.
The sudden temporary loss of shear strength in saturated, loose to medium dense, granular sediments subjected to ground shaking, as would typically occur with an earthquake.
A process by which formerly-firm soil can turn into quicksand. This often happens during an earthquake, when wet sand grains that are loosely bound together flow over one another, depriving anything (and anybody) standing on the surface of all support. Liquefaction was a major factor in the destruction of Port Royal in 1692.
The sudden large decrease of the shearing resistence of a cohesionless soil. It is caused by a collapse of structure by shock or other types of strain and is associated with a sudden, but temporary, increase of the porefluid pressure. It involves a temporary transformation of the material into a fluid-like mass.
The process of converting a gas to a liquid, either by removal of heat or an increase in pressure.
(pronounced li-quh-FAC-shun) the transformation of water-saturated soil into a liquidlike mass, usually by the action of seismic waves.
The process in which a granular solid (soil) takes on the characteristics of a liquid as a result of an increase in pore pressure and a rgen_infotion in stress. In other words, solid ground looses cohesion and starts flowing like a liquid.
Changing a solid into a liquid.
the process of making coal into a liquid
Process that takes clean natural gas and condenses it using a refrigeration process. Temperature of the gas is reduced to a very frigid - 260°F (-163°C), reducing its volume by more than 600 times. At this temperature LNG can be stored and transported as a liquid without having to be pressurized.
The process in which a solid soil takes on the characteristics of a liquid as a result of an increase in pore pressure and a reduction in stress. In other words, solid ground turns to jelly.
The amalgamation or settlement of soils, such as resulting from a seismic event.
Any process in which gas is converted from the gaseous to the liquid phase.
Shaking caused by an earthquake can cause the transformation of some loosely packed, water saturated sediments, such as sand and mud, into a fluid mass. The sediments thus lose their strength and can no longer support buildings which may then sink or lean.
A phenomenon during an earthquake whereby the ground/soil turns into a highly unstable, jelly-like substance.
The change of state to a liquid. Term used instead of condensation in reference to substances, which are usually gaseous.
The process by which wet sediment becomes a slurry; may be triggered by earthquake vibrations.
The sudden loss of strength of soil when the pore water pressure becomes equal to the total stress.
A process by which water-saturated sediment temporarily loses strength and acts as a fluid, like when you wiggle your toes in the wet sand near the water at the beach. This effect can be caused by earthquake shaking.
The act or process of transforming any substance into a liquid, especially the conversion of a solid into a liquid by heat, or of a gas into a liquid by cooling or pressure.
the transformation of saturated, loosely packed, course-grained soils from a solid to a liquid state. The soil grains temporarily lose contact with each other and the particle weight is transferred to the pore water. CO Survey, 1988.
The process by which natural gas is converted into liquid natural gas.
