vapor curve
1Saturation vapor curve — The saturation vapor curve usually states for the separation curve between the two phase state and the vapor state in the T s thermodynamic diagram. When used in a power cycle, the fluid expansion depends strongly on the nature of this saturation …
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… …
3Vapor pressure — (also known as equilibrium vapor pressure or saturation vapor pressure ), is the pressure of a vapor in equilibrium with its non vapor phases. All liquids and solids have a tendency to evaporate to a gaseous form, and all gases have a tendency to …
4vapor pressure curve — Graphic presentation of various pressures produced by refrigerant under various temperatures …
5Cooling curve — A cooling curve of naphthalene from liquid to solid. A cooling curve is a line graph that represents the change of phase of matter, typically from a gas to a solid or a liquid to a solid. The independent variable (X axis) is time and the… …
6Expansion curve — Expansion Ex*pan sion, n. [L. expansio: cf. F. expansion.] 1. The act of expanding or spreading out; the condition of being expanded; dilation; enlargement. [1913 Webster] 2. That which is expanded; expanse; extend surface; as, the expansion of a …

8Azeotrope — Vapor liquid equilibrium of 2 propanol/water showing azeotropic behavior An azeotrope (  / …
9NPSH — This article is about Net Positive Suction Head. For the band commonly abbreviated to NPSH, see Natalie Portmans Shaved Head. For the fire hose coupling thread, see Glossary of firefighting equipment#N. Hydraulic circuit NPSH is an initialism for …
10Psychrometrics — or psychrometry are terms used to describe the field of engineering concerned with the determination of physical and thermodynamic properties of gas vapor mixtures. The term derives from the Greek psuchron (ψυχρόν) (… …
