This to me seems a

temperature at which movement of the specimen is observed is recorded as the pour point. INTRODUCTION In the cloud point experiment‚ waxes will appear and thickens the oil and clogs fuel filter and injectors in engines. The wax also accumulates on the cold surfaces and forms an emulsion with water. The appearances of cloud point determine the first cloud of wax crystals in a liquid when it is cooled. Whereas‚ pour point experiment is to determine the minimum temperature of the oil which will continue

the anode and cathode is less than the holding current. 2.) Gate Turn Off Thyristor A. Introduction Gate turn off (GTO) is a type of thyristor that can be turned on and turned off. The turning on and off of the device can be accomplished by applying the correct voltage in the gate terminal. Applying a positive voltage to the gate terminal turns the GTO in on state while applying a negative voltage turns the GTO in off state. GTO advantages : ➢ High voltage and
