___________________21. Nano-materials are materials whose size are in the scale of 10-12 m.
___________________22. In homogenous Chemical Vapor Condensation, particles form in the gas phase and diffuse towards a
cold surface due to thermophoretic forces, and can either be scrapped off from the cold surface to give nanopowders or
deposited onto a substrate to yield what is called particulate films.
___________________23. Microbial fuel cell is a device in which bacteria consume water-soluble waste such as sugar,starch,and
alcohols and produces electricity plus clean water.
___________________24.CVD is a metallic or inorganic material, e.g. a suboxide, is vaporised using thermal evaporation sources
such as crucibles, electron beam evaporation devices or sputtering sources in an atmosphere of 1-50 mbar He (or another inert
gas like Ar, Ne, Kr).
___________________25. Nanomaterials having small particle sizes exhibit enhanced optical emission as well as nonlinear optical
properties due to the quantum confinement effect.
___________________26. Mean Probable Number is an estimate of the viable numbers of bacteria in a sample by inoculating
broth in 10-fold dilutions and is based on the principle of extinction dilution.
___________________27.Osmotic pressure is the pressure required for the solvent to undergo osmosis.
___________________28. Soil Alkalinity is the hydrogen ion concentration in the soil and is influenced by chemical reactions
between soil components and water.
___________________29. Lower energy loss means higher energy efficiency.
___________________30. Organic mass is the common name for organic materials used as renewable energy sources such as
wood,crops, and waste.
