subject (to) [səb'ʤekt], гл. – подвергать;
(be) subject (to) ['sʌbʤekt], прил. – подверженный.
Corrosion takes place where both liquid (жидкий) and vapor (паровой) phases exist (существовать), and at areas subject to local cooling (охлаждение).
Since (поскольку) this material has already been subjected to hydrogenation (гидрирование), cracking, and reforming in the first stage(этап), the operations of the second stage are severe (критичные) (higher temperatures and pressures).
Because the metallic materials it contacts are subject to corrosion the makeup water (добавляемая вода) is highly purified (очищать) before use.
The products of the reaction are subjected to vacuum distillation.
The processing of crude oil at high temperatures and pressures using equipment (оборудование) and piping subjected to stress (мех. напряжение, нагрузка) and corrosion requires sophisticated knowledge, control, and expertise.
Subjecting the mixture (смесь) to certain temperature and pressure conditions allows one substance to remain a gas while the rest (остальные) become liquids.
Find the suitable definition for each of the terms given.
