Grain boundaries are lines on the surface of crystalline solids formed when a material cools from a liquid to a solid. Metallurgists can modify the behavior of metals by changing the size and shape of grains and their boundaries through heating, cooling, and compressing. Grain boundaries are vulnerable to corrosive attack and forced growth of […]
The boundary layer is the region of fluid whose velocity is less than 99% of unobstructed fluid flow. It separates laminar and turbulent flow zones, with laminar flow being smooth and predictable, and turbulent flow being random and violent. Golf balls have dimples to reduce air friction in high-speed flight. A boundary layer occurs when […]

This allows for clearly defined roles and access to information, while still maintaining some limitations. An example is a chocolate […]
