What is the funnel?
The funnel is a device for directing the solid or liquid flow to the desired container or location. Simple funnels consist of hollow cone with holes at each end. The material is poured to the wide end and directed through the narrow end. The versions of this device are used in many fields, from cooking to chemistry to automatic maintenance. Anything that has a similar shape or function can also be called a funnel.
are usually made of materials that are robust, chemically inert and easy to clean. Most of them are designed for repeated use for a long time, although disposable paths are also widely available and easy to create. Any flexible, durable material such as cardboard leaves or thick paper can be turned into makeshift roads if necessary. Small funnels provide a wide range of uses such as food and drink transmission to containers or adding motor oil to the car engine. Large funnels made of hard materials are using PŘI production and transport of industrial substances such as liquefied cement, metal or glass.
Chemical processing, whether in a laboratory or industrial environment, requires specialized types of roads. Some have valves called taps that allow the material to be precisely controlled or cut off. This is useful for work that requires an accurate amount of a particular substance. Special funnels called separation infusions are used to control the speed and the amount of combination of two or more chemicals. Others are equipped with filters, to separate thicker materials from liquids or powder; This is one of the most common uses of funnels.
The term "funnel" is also commonly used to describe a chimney on a boat or train. This type of funnel is directed by growing steam or smoke from engines to air, far from the vehicle and its passengers. The word also pushes various natural phenomena such as tornadoes that are commonly calledThey 'clouds' funnels' unless they touch the ground. Spider funnel uses this distinctive shape to grab prey, as well as a carnivorous plant called a pitcher. The device is so common that the word is often used to describe any object that would be more precisely called "conical".
The word is also used to describe metaphorical constructs. Anyone who pays money from different sources to a single business, legal or other, is often said to be a "funnel". In this way it is also possible to stop information or even people. For example, Internet users tend to filter out with each step needed to buy from the website: the more steps it concerns, the fewer people actually make a purchase. Web designers and programmers call this phenomenon a "conversion funnel".
