AtomicRelating to the atom... | |
Atomic clockThis is a type of clock that uses an atomic resonance frequency standard as its timekeeping element. It is very accurate. | |
AtomisationThe formation of tiny droplets of liquid as in the paint spraying process. Atomisation is usually achieved by turbulence in an air stream, or a sudden drop in pressure. | |
AtomisedThe stage in which the metered air/fuel emulsion is drawn in to the airstream in the form of tiny droplets. | |
AtomizationBreaking up of fuel into fine particles during induction into an engine. | |
AtomizedThe stage in which the metered air/fuel emulsion is drawn in to the airstream in the form of tiny droplets. | |
