- Aviation chemistry — A specialized branch of the chemical industry and aeronautical engineering dealing with the research, synthesis, production, and testing of chemical materials used in aviation. This includes high-performance fuels, special lubricants resistant to extreme temperatures and pressures, hydraulic fluids, de-icing agents, composite resins, and protective coatings for aircraft structures.
- Asbestos textolite — A laminated composite material for technical insulation, manufactured by hot-pressing multiple layers of asbestos fiber fabric impregnated with thermosetting (phenolic or epoxy) resins. This industrial product is characterized by outstanding structural resistance to high temperatures, mechanical friction, and electrical shocks, having been used in the past for manufacturing friction gaskets, pump blades, or electrotechnical insulations, though its modern use is severely restricted or banned due to asbestos toxicity.
- Nitric — Containing nitrogen, pertaining to nitrogen, or derived from it; a term utilized almost exclusively to designate nitric acid (HNO3), a strong, highly corrosive, and oxidizing inorganic acid, widely used in industry for manufacturing fertilizers, explosives, and in metallurgy.
- Nitrite — A salt of nitrous acid containing the stable NO2 functional group; in modern chemical and industrial nomenclature, it is known as a nitrite, widely used in the food industry as a preservative and color stabilizer for meat products, or in metallurgy as a corrosion inhibitor.
- Bibs — The unarticulated plural form of the feminine noun 'babetă'; it designates multiple pieces of cloth or plastic intended to protect children's clothes during meals or, in technical language, multiple fixing and sealing pieces used in engineering.
- Bacon — A processed food product made from pork (usually prepared from the belly, flank, or back of the animal), cured, matured, and often hot- or cold-smoked. This preparation, characterized by a specific alternating structural pattern of lean meat and fat layers, is widely used in international gastronomy, fried until crispy for breakfast or used as a structural ingredient to add flavor and fat to other dishes.
- Tip — A sum of money given voluntarily or through regulation to a person, over and above the due payment and official rate, as a direct reward for the quality of a personal service rendered. This financial incentive possesses a strong cultural and economic structural character within the hospitality industry (restaurants, hotels, taxi services), varying in percentage and social acceptance across regions, and frequently being subject to specific taxation laws in modern economies.
- Baden-Württemberg — A federal state located in southwestern Germany, with its capital in Stuttgart. It is the third-largest state by both area and population in the country, formed in nineteen fifty-two through the merger of the historical states of Baden, Württemberg-Baden, and Württemberg-Hohenzollern, and is globally recognized as an elite economic hub and an innovative center for the automotive and technological industries.
- Bagasse — The dry, pulpy, fibrous material that remains after crushing sugarcane, sorghum, or agave stalks to extract their juice. It is extensively used as an eco-friendly biofuel for generating heat and electricity, as well as a raw material in pulp, paper, and sustainable construction board manufacturing.
- Băicoi (town) — A town in Prahova County, Muntenia, Romania, located in the hilly sub-Carpathian region, historically renowned as a major center for oil extraction and processing. The toponym has an ancient anthroponymic origin, deriving from the name of the original estate owner, Baicu.
- Bakersfield — An important city in the United States of America, located in the southern San Joaquin Valley region of California; the county seat of Kern County. It represents a major structural hub in the oil extraction and intensive agriculture industries of the US, while being globally recognized in music history as the birthplace of the country subgenre called the 'Bakersfield sound' in the 1950s.
