  2. Electrowetting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrowetting

    The electrowetting effect has been defined as "the change in solid-electrolyte contact angle due to an applied potential difference between the solid and the electrolyte". The phenomenon of electrowetting can be understood in terms of the forces that result from the applied electric field.

  3. Dew point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew_point

    In technical terms, the dew point is the temperature at which the water vapor in a sample of air at constant barometric pressure condenses into liquid water at the same rate at which it evaporates. [7] At temperatures below the dew point, the rate of condensation will be greater than that of evaporation, forming more liquid water.

  4. Thermodynamic diagrams - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_diagrams

    For more accurate information, the height of the highest point, or the max pressure, to surpass the static friction would be proportional to the frictional coefficient and the slope going back down to the normal pressure would be the same as an isothermal process if the temperature was increased at a slow enough rate.

  5. Skew-T log-P diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skew-T_log-P_diagram

    The major use for skew-T log-P diagrams is the plotting of radiosonde soundings, which give a vertical profile of the temperature and dew point temperature throughout the troposphere and lower stratosphere.

  6. Thermo-hygrograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermo-hygrograph

    A thermo-hygrograph. A thermo-hygrograph or hygrothermograph is a chart recorder that measures and records both temperature and humidity (or dew point).Similar devices that record only one parameter are a thermograph for temperature and hygrograph for humidity.

  7. Surface weather observation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_weather_observation

    The dew point is a saturation point. When the dew point temperature falls below freezing it is called the frost point, as the water vapor no longer creates dew but instead creates frost or hoarfrost by deposition. [17] The dew point is associated with relative humidity. A high relative humidity indicates that the dew point is closer to the ...

  8. Convective condensation level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convective_condensation_level

    The CCL is determined by plotting the dew point (100%RH) versus altitude and locating the intersection with the actual measured temperature sounding. It marks where the cloud base begins when air is heated from below to the convective temperature, without mechanical lift. [1]

  9. Zeotropic mixture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeotropic_mixture

    In mixtures of substances, the bubble point is the saturated liquid temperature, whereas the saturated vapor temperature is called the dew point. Because the bubble and dew lines of a zeotropic mixture's temperature-composition diagram do not intersect, a zeotropic mixture in its liquid phase has a different fraction of a component than the gas ...
