with water, to render it compact, or impervious to liquids; also, the process of rendering anything impervious to liquids by means of puddled material
The art or process of converting cast iron into wrought iron or steel by subjecting it to intense heat and frequent stirring in a reverberatory furnace in the presence of oxidizing substances, by which it is freed from a portion of its carbon and other impurities
The destruction of root systems and soil structure by the tearing and churning action of heavy equipment operating in saturated soils Puddled soils are more susceptible to erosion than undisturbed soils
(verb) Synonymous with face wetting If the bottom (exit side) of the orifice plate becomes a wetted surface, ink issuing from the orifice will frequently form a puddle and, if the puddle becomes large enough or if the inertial energy of the exit droplets are too low, the surface tension of the puddle will prevent the ink droplets from leaving the orifice plate Much technology and quite a few trade secrets are involved in preventing this problem during operation
A behavior of some butterflies in which they congregate at puddles, moist soil, or dung to obtain moisture and salts [image]
