What's the difference between deflagrate and deflagrator?

Deflagrate


Definition:

  • (v. i.) To burn with a sudden and sparkling combustion, as niter; also, to snap and crackle with slight explosions when heated, as salt.
  • (v. t.) To cause to burn with sudden and sparkling combustion, as by the action of intense heat; to burn or vaporize suddenly; as, to deflagrate refractory metals in the oxyhydrogen flame.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) We studied the electrophysiological effects of non-deflagrating anodic shocks of 2 joules on preparations of sheep ventricular myocardium and Purkinje's fibers.
  • (2) Synthethic glucocorticosteroids (fludrocortisone acetate, fluocinolone acetate, flumethasone pivalate, triamcinolone acetonide and dexamethasone acetate) were determined on the basis of their fluoride content, when deflagrated after Schöniger, in three ways: by potentiometric titration or by direct potential measurement of ion-selective fluoride electrode or by spectrophotometry with lanthanum alizarin complexan.
  • (3) Therefore, by simply reading these electrical parameters, it is possible to know the main stages of the fulguration phenomenon for impulses situated around the deflagration threshold.
  • (4) Deflagrating shocks of 90 Joules, with a short development time (non-self-inductive circuit) can lead to perforation of the myocardium in both the right and left ventricles.
  • (5) Therefore the law-enforcement agency supposed an explosion or deflagration of gasoline vapour.
  • (6) Because the explosive is of low power, later shots in the round may fail to detonate but deflagrate instead.

Deflagrator


Definition:

  • (n.) A form of the voltaic battery having large plates, used for producing rapid and powerful combustion.
