  2. 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 ...

  3. Water cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_cycle

    The processes that drive these movements are evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, sublimation, infiltration, surface runoff, and subsurface flow. In doing so, the water goes through different forms: liquid, solid and vapor. The ocean plays a key role in the water cycle as it is the source of 86% of global evaporation.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Engineering drawing abbreviations and symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing...

    Definition of the part via a 3D CAD model rather than via a 2D engineering drawing. Drawings may be printed (plotted) from the model for reference use, but the model remains the governing legal instrument. MBP: measurement between pins: threads, splines, gears (internal, female) (synonymous with MBW) (see also MOP, MOW) MBW: measurement between ...

  6. Technical illustration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_illustration

    Technical illustrations can be components of technical drawings or diagrams. Technical illustrations in general aim "to generate expressive images that effectively convey certain information via the visual channel to the human observer". [1] Technical illustrations generally have to describe and explain the subjects to a nontechnical audience ...

  7. Engineering drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    When part definition is defined mathematically via a solid model, the assertion that one cannot interrogate the model—the direct analog of "scaling the drawing"—becomes ridiculous; because when part definition is defined this way, it is not possible for a drawing or model to be "not to scale". A 2D pencil drawing can be inaccurately ...

  8. Convection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection

    An illustration of the structure of the Sun and a red giant star, showing their convective zones. These are the granular zones in the outer layers of these stars. These are the granular zones in the outer layers of these stars.

  9. Illustration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illustration

    An illustration is a decoration, interpretation, or visual explanation of a text, concept, or process, [1] designed for integration in print and digitally published media, such as posters, flyers, magazines, books, teaching materials, animations, video games and films.
