What's the difference between carburetor and gasifier?
Carburetor
Definition:
(n.) An apparatus in which coal gas, hydrogen, or air is passed through or over a volatile hydrocarbon, in order to confer or increase illuminating power.
Example Sentences:
(1) The case of a 17 year old abuser of butane aerosols who developed fulminant hepatic failure after taking a proprietary engine or carburetor cleaner is described.
(2) During 13 years of work renovating carburetors he was heavily exposed to trichloromethane.
(3) We believe that an active education campaign and the addition of warning labels to car engine compartments would make an impact in decreasing the incidence of carburetor burns.
(4) We have identified carburetor burns as a significant cause of preventable morbidity, both from long-term functional and cosmetic standpoints.
(5) Burns as a result of priming carburetors with gasoline resulted in 4% of all burn admissions to the Oregon Burn Center from 1980-1982.
(6) One patient developed full-thickness skin loss following gasoline immersion, and another developed severe systemic complications following contact with a carburetor cleaning solvent.
(7) Seventy-nine persons who had sustained automobile engine carburetor- and radiator-related burns were admitted to Grady Memorial Hospital Burn Unit between June 1, 1984 and September 30, 1990.
(8) Professional and public awareness of the risk of serious gasoline burns incurred during carburetor priming should decrease its incidence.
(9) A 17-year-old boy was brought to the emergency department after he inhaled fumes from a rag soaked with a carburetor cleaner containing toluene, methylene chloride, and methanol.
(10) The epidemiology of carburetor burns and our experience are described.
(11) Forty patients with carburetor-priming flame burns had a mean age of 31.5 years, a mean burn size of 13.4% total body surface area, and a mean length of stay of 13.8 days.
Gasifier
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) When applied to gasifier tar, extensive direct (not requiring metabolic activity) mutagenicity was generated.
(2) Two reactions that chemically alter primary aromatic amines (PAA) were used to assess the contribution of these compounds to the indirect bacterial mutagenicity of tar from an experimental low Btu gasifier.
(3) Coal is first gasified in a simulated underground environment.
(4) Transported here from Qatar and Malaysia, it will be stored in tanks at two local terminals, re-gasified, and pumped via a huge pipeline through Wales to England.
(5) The coal is gasified to produce a synthetic gas made from carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
(6) The gasified mixture produced from the heated nebulizer was exposed to corona discharge ionization which led to generation of gas-phase chemical ionization type of ions.
(7) When the pH of the reaction media was raised to 2.5, the mutagenicity of PAA standards and the coal oil were still greater than 90% eliminated, however, no direct mutagenicity was observed for the gasifier tar.
(8) The dehydrated pellets are then put into a cylinder called a fluid bed gasifier, which sounds like something I just made up, but they assure me it is real.
(9) After all, in 1996, a huge tanker called the Sea Empress ran aground in the nearby Cleddau estuary, spilling 72,500 tonnes of oil: a natural disaster, but in terms of risk to human life a picnic compared to the dangers of a large spillage of LNG, which would gasify at speed and form a flammable cloud.
