| Centrifugal
|
|
Outward movement from the axis of rotation. |
| Centrifugal compressor
|
|
Compressor that uses centrifugal force to compress gas by feeling it into a wheel with radial vanes. The wheel is then seal inside of a cylinder and spun. When the wheel rotates, the gas is thrown away from the wheel center. The outward spinning motion compresses the gas. |
| Centrifugal fan
|
|
Fan that causes air to move outward in a direction perpendicular to direction o the air that enters the fan. |
| Centrifugal force
|
|
Force that causes a mass to move away from the center of rotation. |
| Centrifugal pump
|
|
A pump that moves water by centrifugal force developed by rapid rotation of an impeller. As the rotating impeller whirls the water around, centrifugal force builds up pressure forcing the water through the discharge outlet. |
| Centrifuge
|
|
Machine, which spins and gives a centrifugal force to an attached object. Machine using centrifugal force and the difference in densities of material to separate those materials. |
| Centripedal
|
|
Inward movement toward the axis of rotation. |
| Centroid
|
|
Center mass of any object. |
| Ceramic
|
|
Item made from clay or a claylike material. |
| Ceramic color glaze
|
|
Opaque glaze of silica or similar material, which is fused onto the masonry at temperatures above 1500 degrees F. Control of the quality is by ASTM Standard C126 that ensures that specified requirements have been met. |
