The potential of a specimen (or specimens in a galvanic couple) when two or more electrochemical reactions are occurring. Also called galvanic couple potential.

In a system of moist air, the dimensionless ratio of the mass of water vapor to the mass of dry air. For many purposes, the mixing ratio may be approximated by the specific humidity.

A valve operated by a thermostat that can be installed in solar water heating systems to mix cold water with water from the collector loop to maintain a safe water temperature.

A small sail set on the mizzenmast.

The mast aft of the mainmast in a sailing ship - the shorter mast behind the main mast on a ketch or yawl, or the third aftermost mast of a three-masted schooner or square-rigged ship.
