   The amount of time required for mud to circulate from the suction pit, enter into the wellbore and then return to the surface.

   • To use this solution for any value of circulation time, we introduce below the adjusted circulation time.
   • The engineer requires knowledge of the circulation time if the drilling mud is to be changed.
   • Since the deeper annulus temperature is lower than that of the corresponding deeper formation, the longer the circulation time of drilling fluid is, the more heat in the deeper formation is taken away by the drilling fluid.

   The time it takes for a fluid to complete its circuit of the body, especially the time it takes blood to circulate.

   • No correlation has been found between blood pressure and circulation time in either healthy or diseased individuals (Blumgart & Weiss 1927, Olsone 1941, Kerpel-Fronius 1950).
   • The time measured by us can, thus, be regarded as the true "lymph circulation time".

   The time in which capital is bound up the form of a commodity

   The time in which capital is bound up the form of a commodity; the time in which a manufactured item is in use.

   • tracing the precise circulation routes and circulation time of exchange goods may offer finer detail on social questions, cf. Frankenstein and Rowlands ( 1978 ).
   • This would seem to confirm our hypothesis that increasing circulation time reflects periods of declining supplies of bronze.
   • Swords were classified according to degree of wear—that is, circulation time.

      The time it takes oceanwater, moving via currents, to move between two points, or to complete a cycle back to its starting point.

      • Ê is scaled by the circulation time and a factor to remove the salinity dimension.
      • The aging from the Southern Ocean to the North Pacific, expressed in a δ¹⁴C decrease of 90 to 100%, requires a circulation time from the Southern Ocean to the North Pacific of the order of 950 years.

      The amount of time that a fluid takes to complete a cycle around a vessel in which it is being mixed or stirred.

      • This is the same order of magnitude as circulation time and mixing time for large fermenters.
      • As stated previously, both time to equilibrium and the competition between coalescence and dispersion depend on circulation time.
      • Every vessel has a distribution of circulation times.

      The amount of time that elapses in a multiprocess system from the time when a process is loaded for execution until the time when the same process is next loaded for more processing.

      • The circulation time of a slot in front of an access window has been chosen as the basic unit of time.
      • This mechanism provides latency hiding by decoupling the micro-threaded processor from the token circulation time.
