Mechanical Definitions |
Fixed Point : It is a reproducible value as for temperature,
used to standardize measurements derived from intrinsic properties
of pure substances. |
Fixture : It is a device which is used to hold objects
in place and clamp them to machines or operating surfaces, so
that the object can be machined or assembled. |
Flagpole : It is rising from the ground and on which
flags or other signals are displayed. On charts this term is
used onlt when the pole is not attached to a building. |

Technology |
Fuel : It is a material which is burned or altered in order to obtain energy.
Its energy can be stored to be released only when required and that the release is controlled in such a way that the
energy can be harnessed to produce work.
- Solid Fuels : These are used as fuel to produce energy and provide heating, usually released through combustion.
For example, wood, lignite, coal, peat, etc.
- Liquid Fuels : Derivatives of natural petroleum, petrol, diesel, etc.
- Gaseous Fuels : It is a combustible gas that can be burned in a furnace or an engine. For example natural gas,
coal gas, etc.
