  2. Evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporation

    Evaporation is an endothermic process, since heat is absorbed during evaporation. Applications Industrial applications include many printing and coating processes; recovering salts from solutions; and drying a variety of materials such as lumber, paper, cloth and chemicals.

  3. Endothermic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endothermic_process

    An endothermic process is a chemical or physical process that absorbs heat from its surroundings. [1] In terms of thermodynamics, it is a thermodynamic process with an increase in the enthalpy H (or internal energy U) of the system. [2] In an endothermic process, the heat that a system absorbs is thermal energy transfer into the

  4. Endotherm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endotherm

    Endothermic animals mostly use internal heat production through metabolic active organs and tissues (liver, kidney, heart, brain, muscle) or specialized heat producing tissues like brown adipose tissue (BAT). In general, endotherms therefore have higher metabolic rates than ectotherms at a given body mass.

  5. Evaporator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporator

    Evaporation, or vaporization, is an endothermic phase transition process that is thoroughly understood in the field of thermodynamics. It is intimately related to the vapor pressure of the liquid and surrounding pressure, in addition to the enthalpy of vaporization.

  6. Thermochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermochemistry

    Thermochemistry is the study of the heat energy which is associated with chemical reactions and/or phase changes such as melting and boiling.A reaction may release or absorb energy, and a phase change may do the same.

  7. Latent heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_heat

    If the vapor then condenses to a liquid on a surface, then the vapor's latent energy absorbed during evaporation is released as the liquid's sensible heat onto the surface. The large value of the enthalpy of condensation of water vapor is the reason that steam is a far more effective heating medium than boiling water, and is more hazardous.

  8. Mpemba effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mpemba_effect

    Evaporation: The evaporation of the warmer water reduces the mass of the water to be frozen. [22] Evaporation is endothermic, meaning that the water mass is cooled by vapor carrying away the heat, but this alone probably does not account for the entirety of the effect. [5]

  9. Vaporization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporization

    Evaporation is a phase transition from the liquid phase to vapor (a state of substance below critical temperature) that occurs at temperatures below the boiling temperature at a given pressure. Evaporation occurs on the surface. Evaporation only occurs when the partial pressure of vapor of a substance is less than the equilibrium vapor pressure ...
