Volume Balancing

Usually taking place at night time when one's whole family is asleep, it is the art of watching something on TV, and turning the volume up and down so as not to disturb others, while keeping the volume enjoyable for yourself.
Ben: The explosion scene is coming up! Let me turn down the volume so I don't wake up my mom...

Max: Dude, nice volume balancing!

the volume in here is astronomical

When this is said, it refers to lots of voices playing in your head at once. You want them to stop talking as they’re annoying you or simply won’t shut up. Sometimes it can be used to express feelings, if you have a massive crush on someone you’d say the phrase.
Guy: I kind of like you
Girl: *takes a screenshot and sends to a friend* The volume in here is astronomical

Guy: Wait what i thought you said-

Fractional Volume of an extraction solvent

Fractional Volume of an extraction solvent is a fraction of the optimum volume of the extraction solvent obtained by dividing the optimum volume of the extraction solvent needed to extract all of the desired solute from a given mass of the solid material into equal smaller volumes for use in separate extraction cycles
If 100ml of an extraction solvent is the optimum volume that would extract all the herbal solute from a medicinal herb, then 100ml/2 gives a fractional volume of an extraction solvent of 50ml, 100ml/3 gives a fraxtional volume of an extraction solvent of 33.333ml

100ml/4 gives a fraxtional volume of an extraction solvent of 25ml,
1/5 x 100 ml gives a fraxtional volume of an extraction solvent of 20ml.

Using fractional volumes of an extraction solvent for extraction purposes gives better extraction yields than using the optimum volume of an extraction solvent as a whole.
