  2. Stefan problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_problem

    This is an energy balance which defines the position of the moving interface. Note that this evolving boundary is an unknown (hyper-)surface; hence, Stefan problems are examples of free boundary problems. Analogous problems occur, for example, in the study of porous media flow, mathematical finance and crystal growth from monomer solutions. [1]

  3. Lifting condensation level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_condensation_level

    The convective condensation level (CCL) results when strong surface heating causes buoyant lifting of surface air and subsequent mixing of the planetary boundary layer, so that the layer near the surface ends up with a dry adiabatic lapse rate. As the mixing becomes deeper, it will get to the point where the LCL of an air parcel starting at the ...

  4. Condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensation

    Condensation is the change of the state of matter from the gas phase into the liquid phase, and is the reverse of vaporization. The word most often refers to the water cycle . [ 1 ] It can also be defined as the change in the state of water vapor to liquid water when in contact with a liquid or solid surface or cloud condensation nuclei within ...

  5. Capillary condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_condensation

    Sintering is a direct application of capillary condensation, because of the adhesion effects of dust and powders. This application can be seen directly in sol-gel thin film synthesis. [7] The sol-gel is a colloid solution which is placed on a substrate, usually through a dip-coating method. After being placed onto the substrate, a source of ...

  6. Vapor cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_cone

    A F/A-18F during transonic flight. A vapor cone (also known as a Mach diamond, [1] shock collar, or shock egg) is a visible cloud of condensed water that can sometimes form around an object moving at high speed through moist air, such as an aircraft flying at transonic speeds.

  7. Cloud physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_physics

    At small radii, the amount of supersaturation needed for condensation to occur is so large, that it does not happen naturally. Raoult's law describes how the vapor pressure is dependent on the amount of solute in a solution. At high concentrations, when the cloud droplets are small, the supersaturation required is smaller than without the ...

    For example, when “Like a Rolling Stone” is being recorded, the musician Al Kooper comes to the studio, announces himself as the guitar player, and is informed that they already have one of ...

  9. Damp (structural) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damp_(structural)

    A high proportion of damp problems in buildings are caused by ambient climate dependent factors of condensation and rain penetration. [1] Capillary penetration of fluid from the ground up through concrete or masonry is known as "rising damp" and is governed by the shape and porosity of the construction materials through which this evaporation ...
