  2. 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 ...

  3. Adiabatic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adiabatic_process

    An adiabatic process (adiabatic from Ancient Greek ἀδιάβατος (adiábatos) ' impassable ') is a type of thermodynamic process that occurs without transferring heat between the thermodynamic system and its environment. Unlike an isothermal process, an adiabatic process transfers energy to the surroundings only as work and/or mass flow.

  4. Shortcuts to adiabaticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortcuts_to_adiabaticity

    Shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA) are fast control protocols to drive the dynamics of system without relying on the adiabatic theorem.The concept of STA was introduced in a 2010 paper by Xi Chen et al. [1] Their design can be achieved using a variety of techniques.

  5. Differential scanning calorimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_scanning...

    The first adiabatic differential scanning calorimeter that could be used in biochemistry was developed by P. L. Privalov and D. R. Monaselidze in 1964 at Institute of Physics in Tbilisi, Georgia. [4] The term DSC was coined to describe this instrument, which measures energy directly and allows precise measurements of heat capacity. [5]

  6. Level of free convection - Wikipedia

    Diagram showing an air parcel path when raised along B-C-E compared to the surrounding air mass Temperature (T) and humidity (Tw); see CAPE. The level of free convection (LFC) is the altitude in the atmosphere where an air parcel lifted adiabatically until saturation becomes warmer than the environment at the same level, so that positive buoyancy can initiate self-sustained convection.

  7. Diabatic representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabatic_representation

    Felix Smith in his article [1] considers the adiabatic-to-diabatic transformation (ADT) for a multi-state system but a single coordinate, . In Diabatic, the ADT is defined for a system of two coordinates R A α {\displaystyle \mathrm {R_{A\alpha }} } and R B β {\displaystyle \mathrm {R_{B\beta }} } , but it is restricted to two states.

  8. Heat capacity ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capacity_ratio

    The above value of 1.4 is highly consistent with the measured adiabatic indices for dry air within a temperature range of 0–200 °C, exhibiting a deviation of only 0.2% (see tabulation above). For a linear triatomic molecule such as CO 2 , there are only 5 degrees of freedom (3 translations and 2 rotations), assuming vibrational modes are not ...

  9. Rüchardt experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rüchardt_Experiment

    The Rüchardt experiment, [1] [2] [3] invented by Eduard Rüchardt, is a famous experiment in thermodynamics, which determines the ratio of the molar heat capacities of a gas, i.e. the ratio of (heat capacity at constant pressure) and (heat capacity at constant volume) and is denoted by (gamma, for ideal gas) or (kappa, isentropic exponent, for real gas).
