gas collapse: the state of matter distinguished from the solid and liquid states by: relatively low density and viscosity; relatively great expansion and contraction with changes in pressure and temperature; the ability to diffuse readily; and the spontaneous tendency to become distributed uniformly throughout any container; a fluid in the gaseous state having neither independent shape nor volume and being able to expand indefinitely; attack with gas; subject to gas fumes; "The despot gassed the rebellious tribes"

crude collapse: not processed or subjected to analysis; "raw data"; "the raw cost of production"; "only the crude vital statistics"; belonging to an early stage of technical development; characterized by simplicity and (often) crudeness; "the crude weapons and rude agricultural implements of early man"; "primitive movies of the 1890s"; "primitive living conditions in the Appalachian mountains"; not carefully or expertly made; "managed to make a crude splint"; "a crude cabin of logs with bark still on them"; "rough carpentry"

pneumatics collapse: the branch of mechanics that deals with the mechanical properties of gases

natural gas collapse: a fossil fuel in the gaseous state; used for cooking and heating homes

propane collapse: colorless gas found in natural gas and petroleum; used as a fuel

octane collapse: any isomeric saturated hydrocarbon found in petroleum and used as a fuel and solvent

peat collapse: partially carbonized vegetable matter saturated with water; can be used as a fuel when dried

firedamp collapse: a mixture of gases (mostly methane) that form in coal mines and become explosive when mixed with air

chokedamp collapse: the atmosphere in a mine following an explosion; high in carbon dioxide and incapable of supporting life

burner collapse: an apparatus for burning fuel (or refuse); "a diesel engine is an oil burner"; the heating elements of a stove or range on which pots and pans are placed for cooking; "the electric range had one large burner and three smaller one"

stove collapse: any heating apparatus; a kitchen appliance used for cooking food; "dinner was already on the stove"

ether collapse: a colorless volatile highly inflammable liquid formerly used as an inhalation anesthetic; a medium that was once supposed to fill all space and to support the propagation of electromagnetic waves; any of a class of organic compounds that have two hydrocarbon groups linked by an oxygen atom

combustible collapse: a substance that can be burned to provide heat or power; capable of igniting and burning

arsenic collapse: a very poisonous metallic element that has three allotropic forms; arsenic and arsenic compounds are used as herbicides and insecticides and various alloys; found in arsenopyrite and orpiment and realgar; a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic; used in manufacturing glass and as a pesticide (rat poison) and weed killer

refrigerant collapse: a substance used to provide cooling (as in a refrigerator); causing cooling or freezing; "a refrigerant substance such as ice or solid carbon dioxide"

liquid oxygen collapse: a bluish translucent magnetic liquid obtained by compressing gaseous oxygen and then cooling it below its boiling point; used as an oxidizer in rocket propellants
