  2. Coffee ring effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_ring_effect

    The lower-limit size of a coffee ring depends on the time scale competition between the liquid evaporation and the movement of suspended particles. [16] When the liquid evaporates much faster than the particle movement near a three-phase contact line, a coffee ring cannot be formed successfully.

  3. Evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporation

    In an enclosed environment, a liquid will evaporate until the surrounding air is saturated. Evaporation is an essential part of the water cycle. The sun (solar energy) drives evaporation of water from oceans, lakes, moisture in the soil, and other sources of water. In hydrology, evaporation and transpiration (which involves evaporation within ...

  4. Mpemba effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mpemba_effect

    They showed the time for freezing to start was longest with an initial temperature of 25 °C (77 °F) and that it was much less at around 90 °C (194 °F). They ruled out loss of liquid volume by evaporation and the effect of dissolved air as significant factors. In their setup, most heat loss was found to be from the liquid surface. [10]

  5. Droplet vaporization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droplet_vaporization

    The liquid temperature varies in time until the wet-bulb temperature is reached. If the wet-bulb temperature is reached in a time of the same order of magnitude as the droplet heating time, then the liquid temperature can be considered to be constant with regard to time; model (1), the d 2-law, is obtained.

  6. Level sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_sensor

    An air bubbler level sensor uses a tube with an opening below the surface of the liquid level. A fixed flow of air is passed through the tube. A fixed flow of air is passed through the tube. Pressure in the tube is proportional to the depth (and density) of the liquid over the outlet of the tube.

  7. Leidenfrost effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leidenfrost_effect

    Leidenfrost droplet Demonstration of the Leidenfrost effect Leidenfrost effect of a single drop of water. The Leidenfrost effect is a physical phenomenon in which a liquid, close to a solid surface of another body that is significantly hotter than the liquid's boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer that keeps the liquid from boiling rapidly.

  8. Volatility (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatility_(chemistry)

    Bromine liquid readily transitions to vapor at room temperature, indicating high volatility In chemistry , volatility is a material quality which describes how readily a substance vaporizes . At a given temperature and pressure , a substance with high volatility is more likely to exist as a vapour , while a substance with low volatility is more ...

  9. Water vapor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_vapor

    Formulas can be used for calculating the rate of evaporation from a water surface such as a swimming pool. [5] [6] In some countries, the evaporation rate far exceeds the precipitation rate. Evaporative cooling is restricted by atmospheric conditions. Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air.
