  2. Vapour pressure of water - Wikipedia

    Examples of modern use of these formulae can additionally be found in NASA's GISS Model-E and Seinfeld and Pandis (2006). The former is an extremely simple Antoine equation, while the latter is a polynomial. [8] In 2018 a new physics-inspired approximation formula was devised and tested by Huang [9] who also reviews other recent attempts.

    Phase behavior Triple point: 178.5 K (−94.3 °C), ? Pa Critical point: 508 K (235 °C), 48 bar Std enthalpy change of fusion, Δ fus H o +5.7 kJ/mol Std entropy change

  4. List of cities by average temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_average...

    This is a list of cities by average temperature (monthly and yearly). The temperatures listed are averages of the daily highs and lows. Thus, the actual daytime temperature in a given month may be considerably higher than the temperature listed here, depending on how large the difference between daily highs and lows is.

  5. Redlich–Kwong equation of state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redlich–Kwong_equation_of...

    The Redlich–Kwong equation is very similar to the Van der Waals equation, with only a slight modification being made to the attractive term, giving that term a temperature dependence. At high pressures, the volume of all gases approaches some finite volume, largely independent of temperature, that is related to the size of the gas molecules.

  6. Combined cycle power plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_cycle_power_plant

    Duct burning raises the flue temperature, which increases the quantity or temperature of the steam (e.g. to 84 bar, 525 degree Celsius). This improves the efficiency of the steam cycle. Supplementary firing lets the plant respond to fluctuations of electrical load, because duct burners can have very good efficiency with partial loads.

  7. Thorium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium

    Eugene Wigner proposed to use the 240 Pu-contaminated plutonium to drive the conversion of thorium into 233 U in a special converter reactor. It was hypothesized that the 233 U would then be usable in a gun-type weapon, though concerns about contamination from 232 U were voiced. Progress on the implosion weapon was sufficient, and this ...

  8. Iridium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iridium

    In Munich, Germany in 1957 Rudolf Mössbauer, in what has been called one of the "landmark experiments in twentieth-century physics", [53] discovered the resonant and recoil-free emission and absorption of gamma rays by atoms in a solid metal sample containing only 191 Ir. [54] This phenomenon, known as the Mössbauer effect resulted in the ...

  9. Cryogenics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryogenics

    Nitrogen is a liquid under −195.8 °C (77.3 K).. In physics, cryogenics is the production and behaviour of materials at very low temperatures.. The 13th International Institute of Refrigeration's (IIR) International Congress of Refrigeration (held in Washington, DC in 1971) endorsed a universal definition of "cryogenics" and "cryogenic" by accepting a threshold of 120 K (−153 °C) to ...
