  2. Correction fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correction_fluid

    Thinners currently used with correction fluid include bromopropane. [citation needed] Because it contains organic solvents (volatile organic compounds), unused correction fluid thickens over time as volatile solvents escape into the air. It can become too thick to use, and sometimes completely solidifies.

  3. Tipp-Ex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipp-Ex

    Tipp-Ex correction fluid is a white liquid. It is used for painting over mistakes in a piece of writing. A brush (which was later replaced by a foam applicator) is attached to the cap, so when the bottle is closed, the brush is immersed in the fluid. When unscrewed, the brush is covered in liquid Tipp-Ex which is then painted over the mistake ...

  4. Liquid Paper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_Paper

    Liquid Paper is an American brand of the Newell Brands company marketed internationally that sells correction fluid, correction pens, and correction tape. Mainly used to correct typewriting in the past, correction products now mostly cover handwriting mistakes.

  5. Wite-Out - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wite-Out

    Wite-Out dates to 1966, when Edwin Johanknecht, an insurance -company clerk, sought to address a problem he observed in correction fluid available at the time: a tendency to smudge ink on photostatic copies when it was applied. Johanknecht enlisted the help of his associate George Kloosterhouse, a basement waterproofer who experimented with ...

  6. 1,1,1-Trichloroethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,1,1-Trichloroethane

    The standard replacement, Forane 141 is much less effective, and tends to leave a residue. 1,1,1-Trichloroethane was used as a thinner in correction fluid products such as liquid paper. Many of its applications previously used carbon tetrachloride (which was banned in US consumer products in 1970). In turn, 1,1,1-trichloroethane itself is now ...

  7. Navier–Stokes equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navier–Stokes_equations

    Continuum mechanics. The Navier–Stokes equations ( / nævˈjeɪ stoʊks / nav-YAY STOHKS) are partial differential equations which describe the motion of viscous fluid substances. They were named after French engineer and physicist Claude-Louis Navier and the Irish physicist and mathematician George Gabriel Stokes.

  8. Mimeograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimeograph

    A mimeograph machine (often abbreviated to mimeo, sometimes called a stencil duplicator or stencil machine) was a low-cost duplicating machine that worked by forcing ink through a stencil onto paper. [1] The process was called mimeography, and a copy made by the process was a mimeograph . Mimeographs, along with spirit duplicators and ...

  9. Hagen–Poiseuille equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagen–Poiseuille_equation

    In nonideal fluid dynamics, the Hagen–Poiseuille equation, also known as the Hagen–Poiseuille law, Poiseuille law or Poiseuille equation, is a physical law that gives the pressure drop in an incompressible and Newtonian fluid in laminar flow flowing through a long cylindrical pipe of constant cross section.

  10. Inhalant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inhalant

    Another very common inhalant is Erase-X, a correction fluid that contains toluene. It has become very common for school and college students to use it, because it is easily available in stationery shops in India. This fluid is also used by street and working children in Delhi. Europe and North America

  11. Non-Newtonian fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Newtonian_fluid

    t. e. A non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid that does not follow Newton's law of viscosity, that is, it has variable viscosity dependent on stress. In particular, the viscosity of non-Newtonian fluids can change when subjected to force. Ketchup, for example, becomes runnier when shaken and is thus a non-Newtonian fluid.
