types:
convectie
(meteorology) the vertical movement of heat or other properties by massive motion within the atmosphere
elektroforese
the motion of charged particles in a colloid under the influence of an electric field; particles with a positive charge go to the cathode and negative to the anode
extinctie
the reduction of the intensity of radiation as a consequence of absorption and radiation
filtratie
the process whereby fluids pass through a filter or a filtering medium
stolling
the process of becoming hard or solid by cooling or drying or crystallization
ionisatie
the process of ionizing; the formation of ions by separating atoms or molecules or radicals or by adding or subtracting electrons from atoms by strong electric fields in a gas
magneetinductie
the process that makes a substance magnetic (temporarily or permanently)
kernreactie
(physics) a process that alters the energy or structure or composition of atomic nuclei
weken
the process of becoming softened and saturated as a consequence of being immersed in water (or other liquid)
synergie,
synergisme
the working together of two things (muscles or drugs for example) to produce an effect greater than the sum of their individual effects
transductie
the process whereby a transducer accepts energy in one form and gives back related energy in a different form
adsorptie,
sorptie
the accumulation of molecules of a gas to form a thin film on the surface of a solid
katalyse
acceleration of a chemical reaction induced the presence of material that is chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction
kettingreactie,
lawinereactie
a self-sustaining nuclear reaction; a series of nuclear fissions in which neutrons released by splitting one atom leads to the splitting of others
reactie
(chemistry) a process in which one or more substances are changed into others
convectie
the transfer of heat through a fluid (liquid or gas) caused by molecular motion
afkooksel,
kooknat
(pharmacology) the extraction of water-soluble drug substances by boiling
ontzilting
the removal of salt (especially from sea water)
digestie,
spijsvertering
the process of decomposing organic matter (as in sewage) by bacteria or by chemical action or heat
afslag
(geology) the mechanical process of wearing or grinding something down (as by particles washing over it)
vorst,
vriespunt
the withdrawal of heat to change something from a liquid to a solid
buil,
opzwelling
the increase in volume of certain substances when they are heated (often accompanied by release of water)
maceratie
softening due to soaking or steeping
osmose
(biology, chemistry) diffusion of molecules through a semipermeable membrane from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration until the concentration on both sides is equal
polymerisatie
a chemical process that combines several monomers to form a polymer or polymeric compound
proteolyse
the hydrolysis of proteins into peptides and amino acids by cleavage of their peptide bonds
