  2. Vaporization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporization

    Vaporization (or vapo(u)risation) of an element or compound is a phase transition from the liquid phase to vapor. [1] There are two types of vaporization: evaporation and boiling . Evaporation is a surface phenomenon , whereas boiling is a bulk phenomenon (a phenomenon in which the whole object or substance is involved in the process).

  3. Enthalpy of vaporization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_vaporization

    Temperature-dependency of the heats of vaporization for water, methanol, benzene, and acetone. In thermodynamics, the enthalpy of vaporization (symbol ∆H vap), also known as the (latent) heat of vaporization or heat of evaporation, is the amount of energy that must be added to a liquid substance to transform a quantity of that substance into a gas.

  4. Evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporation

    Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase. [1] A high concentration of the evaporating substance in the surrounding gas significantly slows down evaporation, such as when humidity affects rate of evaporation of water. [ 2 ]

  5. Vapor pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_pressure

    Although the relation between vapor pressure and temperature is non-linear, the chart uses a logarithmic vertical axis to produce slightly curved lines, so one chart can graph many liquids. A nearly straight line is obtained when the logarithm of the vapor pressure is plotted against 1/(T + 230) [8] where T is the temperature in degrees Celsius ...

  6. Vapor–liquid equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor–liquid_equilibrium

    The two mole fractions often differ. These vapor and liquid mole fractions are represented by two points on the same horizontal isotherm (constant T ) line. When an entire range of temperatures vs. vapor and liquid mole fractions is graphed, two (usually curved) lines result.

  7. Glossary of fuel cell terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_fuel_cell_terms

    Hydrogen purity or hydrogen quality is the lack of impurities in hydrogen as a fuel gas. Hydrogen-rich fuel A fuel that contains a significant amount of hydrogen, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, methanol (CH3OH), ethanol (CH3CH2OH), natural gas, and coal. Hydrogen sulfide sensor

  8. Droplet vaporization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droplet_vaporization

    The vaporizing droplet (droplet vaporization) problem is a challenging issue in fluid dynamics. It is part of many engineering situations involving the transport and computation of sprays: fuel injection, spray painting, aerosol spray, flashing releases… In most of these engineering situations there is a relative motion between the droplet ...

  9. Flash-gas (petroleum) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash-gas_(petroleum)

    Flash evaporation, or flashing, is the process of volatile components suddenly vaporizing from their liquid state. This often happens during the transportation of petroleum products through pipelines and into vessels, such as when the stream from a common separation unit flows into an on-site atmospheric storage tank.
