  2. Frigorific mixture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frigorific_mixture

    A frigorific mixture may be used to obtain a liquid medium that has a reproducible temperature below ambient temperature. Such mixtures were used to calibrate thermometers. In chemistry a cooling bath may be used to control the temperature of a strongly exothermic reaction. A frigorific mixture may be used as an alternative to mechanical ...

  3. Cloud point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_point

    Additionally, no external chiller bath or refrigeration unit is needed. D5773 is capable of determining cloud point within a temperature range of -60 °C to +49 °C. Results are reported with a temperature resolution of 0.1 °C. Under ASTM D5773, the test sample is cooled by a Peltier device at a constant rate of 1.5 +/- 0.1 °C/min.

  4. Absolute zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_zero

    The Fermi temperature is defined as this maximum energy divided by the Boltzmann constant, and is on the order of 80,000 K for typical electron densities found in metals. For temperatures significantly below the Fermi temperature, the electrons behave in almost the same way as at absolute zero.

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

  6. Pour point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pour_point

    At about 9 °C above the expected pour point, and for every subsequent 3 °C, the test jar is removed and tilted to check for surface movement. When the specimen does not flow when tilted, the jar is held horizontally for 5 sec. If it does not flow, 3 °C is added to the corresponding temperature and the result is the pour point temperature.

  7. Negative temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_temperature

    A definition of temperature can be based on the relationship: = The relationship suggests that a positive temperature corresponds to the condition where entropy, S, increases as thermal energy, q rev, is added to the system. This is the "normal" condition in the macroscopic world, and is always the case for the translational, vibrational ...

  8. Fermionic condensate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermionic_condensate

    Fermionic condensates are attained at lower temperatures than Bose–Einstein condensates. Fermionic condensates are a type of superfluid.As the name suggests, a superfluid possesses fluid properties similar to those possessed by ordinary liquids and gases, such as the lack of a definite shape and the ability to flow in response to applied forces.

  9. Liquidus and solidus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquidus_and_solidus

    The solidus is the locus of temperatures (a curve on a phase diagram) below which a given substance is completely solid (crystallized). The solidus temperature specifies the temperature below which a material is completely solid, [ 2 ] and the minimum temperature at which a melt can co-exist with crystals in thermodynamic equilibrium .
