Aerospace	A tube formed in space by the intersection of unit-interval isotimic surfaces of two scalar quantities.Solenoids formed by the intersection of surfaces of equal pressure and density are frequently referred to in meteorology. A barotropic atmosphere implies the absence of solenoids of this type, since surfaces of equal pressure and density coincide. (references)

Energy	An electromechanical device composed of a coil of wire wound around a cylinder containing a bar or plunger, that when a current is applied to the coil, the electromotive force causes the plunger to move; a series of coils or wires used to produce a magnetic field. (references)

Specialty Definition: Solenoid

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A solenoid is a form of electromagnet. In its simplest construction it consists of a number of turns of conductive wire through which a current is passed. This creates a magnetic field which is concentrated at the centre of the windings. Any ferromagnetic material that is brought into proximity is attracted by the magnetic field. Generally the construction is arranged so that the ferromagnetic material is presented as a plunger within the coil which is free to move in and out and is held out by a spring when the current is switched off.

Much more efficient forms of solenoid are made by winding the coil around a ferrous C-shaped core and using a T-shaped ferrous core. When a current flows, this structure creates a tight magnetic loop, the T fitting into the C and touching at the lip and bottom.
