The sublimation that occurs at the solid-gas boundary (critical sublimation point) (corresponding to boiling in vaporization) may be called rapid sublimation, and the substance sublimes rapidly. The words "gradual" and "rapid" have acquired special meanings in this context and no longer describe the rate of sublimation. [citation needed]
Sublimation or sublimate may refer to: Sublimation, by Canvas Solaris, 2004; Sublimation (phase transition), directly from the solid to the gas phase; Sublimation (psychology), a mature type of defense mechanism; Sublimate of mercury, or Mercury(II) chloride; Volcanic sublimate, a product of deposition from vapors around volcanic vents
Sublimation (German: Sublimierung) is the process of transforming libido into "socially useful" achievements, including artistic, cultural, and intellectual pursuits. Freud considered this psychical operation to be fairly salutary compared to the others that he identified, such as repression , displacement , denial , reaction formation ...
The term was later also applied to the indirect sublimation transfer printing process, which uses a standard ink-jet printer to deposit sublimation-capable ink onto a transfer sheet. The printed transfer sheet is then pressed with the substrate with heat, transferring the dye to the substrate, such as plastic or fabric, via sublimation.
Freeze-dried strawberries. Freeze drying, also known as lyophilization or cryodesiccation, is a low temperature dehydration process [1] that involves freezing the product and lowering pressure, thereby removing the ice by sublimation. [2]
A typical phase diagram.The solid green line applies to most substances; the dashed green line gives the anomalous behavior of water. In thermodynamics, the triple point of a substance is the temperature and pressure at which the three phases (gas, liquid, and solid) of that substance coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium. [1]
Outgassing is a challenge to creating and maintaining clean high-vacuum environments.NASA and ESA maintain lists of materials with low-outgassing properties suitable for use in spacecraft, as outgassing products can condense onto optical elements, thermal radiators, or solar cells and obscure them.
Repressive desublimation is a term, first coined by Frankfurt School philosopher and sociologist Herbert Marcuse in his 1964 work One-Dimensional Man, that refers to the way in which, in advanced industrial society (), "the progress of technological rationality is liquidating the oppositional and transcending elements in the “higher culture.” [1] In other words, where art was previously a ...
