Flux (Atmospheric Chemistry)

The rate of continuous change, flow or movement of liquid, particles or energy. The rate of discharge of a liquid, removal of energy or particle depositing from one body to another. [Journal of Alloys and Compounds; v195; 407; 1993.] [Ecological Monographs; v58; 177; 1988.]

Flux (Biblical)

Dysentary; microbial disease tending to dehydrate and malnouresh, even fatally for weakened constitutions, esp. during war or famine.

Flux (Cinematography)

An amount of light which is present as measured in lumens.

Flux (Climatology)

The amount of flow per unit time (i.e. energy flux or radiation flux)

Flux (Dream)

To dream of having flux, or thinking that you are thus afflicted, denotes desperate or fatal illness will overtake you or some member of your family. To see others thus afflicted, implies disappointment in carrying out some enterprise through the neglect of others. Inharmonious states will vex you.

Flux (Electric Motors)

The magnetic field which is established around an energized conductor or permanent magnet. The field is represented by flux lines creating a flux pattern between opposite poles. The density of the flux lines is a measure of the strength of the magnetic field.

Flux (Environment)

1. A flowing or flow. 2. A substance used to help metals fuse together.

Flux (Film Production)

An amount of light which is present as measured in lumens.

Flux (Genealogy)

Discharge of fluid from the body

Flux (Genealogy Disease)

An excessive flow or discharge of fluid like hemorrhage or
diarrhea

Flux (Glass)

A substance that facilitates fusion (by lowering the melting temperature of another substance). For example, a flux is added to the batch in order to facilitate the fusing of the silica. Fluxes are also added to enamels in order to lower their fusion point to below that of the glass body to which they are to be applied. Potash and soda are fluxes.

Flux (Import Cars)

A material to dissolve and prevent the formation of oxides in molten metal and solid metal surfaces; a wetting agent that facilitates the banding of a filler metal.

Flux (Lighting Design)

The time rate of flow. For example, volume per hour is the flux of a fluid.

Flux (MRI)

Invisible lines of force that extend around a magnetic material. The greatest density is at the two poles of the magnet.

Flux (Metal)

(1) In refining, a material used to remove undesirable substances as a molten mixture. It may also be used as a protective covering for molten metal. (2) In welding, a material used to prevent the formation of, or to dissolve and facilitate the removal of, oxides and other undesirable substances.

Flux (Plumbing)

Paste applied to copper pipes and fittings before soldering to help the fusion process and prevent oxidation.

Flux (Poetry)

flow

Flux (Slot Car Drag Racing)

Commonly, the liquid or paste metal prep solution used to facilitate complete and proper soldering

Flux (Wind Energy)

See Magnetic Field
