单词 pipe
释义
pipe

Chemical Engineering
  • An enclosed conduit used to transport fluids. These are circular in cross section and available in widely varying sizes, wall thicknesses, and materials. Pipes are specified in terms of their diameter and wall thickness. The wall thickness is indicated by the schedule number. Pipes are commonly made from metals and alloys, glass, and various plastics. Low-carbon steel pipes are most commonly used in process plants. PVC pipes are typically used for water and gas lines. Lengths of pipes are joined together by flanges, welding, or screw fittings.


Computer
  • A command-line operator available in some operating systems whereby a number of processes (tasks), whose names are listed sequentially, are activated concurrently so that each process (after the first-named) accepts as its input the output from the immediately previously named process. The operating system provides buffering of data between the processes, and so the user is relieved of the necessity of specifying temporary files for receiving and delivering the data. Pipes are a notable feature of UNIX. See also command-line interface, filter.


Geology and Earth Sciences
  • 1. Nearly vertical, cylindrical body or opening in rock.

    2. In mining, an ore shoot at the intersection of two barren veins.

    3. At Kimberley, South Africa, pipes of diamond-bearing breccia.

    4. In sedimentology, tube often filled with mud, particularly in limestones.

    5. In volcanology, vertical channel-ways below a volcano through which magma flows towards the surface.


Geography
  • 1 A volcanic channel or conduit filled with solidified magma. Sometimes the hard pipe rock is exposed after erosion. See Barnett and Lorig (2007) J. Volcanol. Geotherm. Res. 159, 1–3. For pipe eruption, see central vent eruption.

    2 In hydrology, a subsurface channel, often near horizontal, through which water passes. Pipes can transfer water underground as a rapid route for subsurface storm flow. See Carey and Woo (2000) J. Hydrol. 233, 1–3.
