liquid-vapor phase diagram
1Phase diagram — In physical chemistry, mineralogy, and materials science, a phase diagram is a type of graph used to show the equilibrium conditions between the thermodynamically distinct phases. In mathematics and physics, a phase diagram also has an… …
2Vapor-liquid equilibrium — Vapor liquid equilibrium, abbreviated as VLE by some, is a condition where a liquid and its vapor (gas phase) are in equilibrium with each other, a condition or state where the rate of evaporation (liquid changing to vapor) equals the rate of… …
3Phase transition — This diagram shows the nomenclature for the different phase transitions. A phase transition is the transformation of a thermodynamic system from one phase or state of matter to another. A phase of a thermodynamic system and the states of matter… …
4Phase (matter) — In the physical sciences, a phase is a region of space (a thermodynamic system), throughout which all physical properties of a material are essentially uniform.[1] Examples of physical properties include density, index of refraction, and chemical …
5Liquid helium — Helium exists in liquid form only at very low temperatures. The boiling point and critical point depend on the isotope of the helium; see the table below for values. The density of liquid helium at its boiling point and 1 atm is approximately… …
6phase rule — Physical Chem. a law that the number of degrees of freedom in a system in equilibrium is equal to two plus the number of components less the number of phases. Thus, a system of ice, melted ice, and water vapor, being one component and three… …
7Sublimation (phase transition) — Dark green crystals of nickelocene, freshly sublimed on a cold finger …
8Extraterrestrial liquid water — Extraterrestrial liquid water, the presence of water in its liquid state, is a subject of wide interest because it is a commonly suggested prerequisite for the emergence of extraterrestrial life. Earth, with oceanic water covering 71% of its… …
9Deposition (phase transition) — This diagram shows the nomenclature for the different phase transitions. Deposition is a process in which gas transforms into solid (also known as desublimation). The reverse of deposition is sublimation. One example of deposition is the process… …
10Sodium vapor lamp — A sodium vapor lamp is a gas discharge lamp which uses sodium in an excited state to produce light. There are two varieties of such lamps: low pressure and high pressure . Low pressure sodium Low pressure sodium (LPS) lamps, also known as sodium… …
