  2. Cooling curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_curve

    A cooling curve of naphthalene from liquid to solid. A cooling curve is a line graph that represents the change of phase of matter, typically from a gas to a solid or a liquid to a solid. The independent variable (X-axis) is time and the dependent variable (Y-axis) is temperature. [1] Below is an example of a cooling curve used in castings.

  3. Mpemba effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mpemba_effect

    In context of Mpemba effect it is a mistake to think that bottom ice insulates, compared to poor air cooling properties. [ 25 ] Dissolved gases : Cold water can contain more dissolved gases than hot water, which may somehow change the properties of the water with respect to convection currents, a proposition that has some experimental support ...

  4. Liquidus and solidus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquidus_and_solidus

    The upper curve is the line of liquidus, and the lower curve is the line of solidus. In chemistry , materials science , and physics , the liquidus temperature specifies the temperature above which a material is completely liquid, [ 2 ] and the maximum temperature at which crystals can co-exist with the melt in thermodynamic equilibrium .

  5. Glossary of chemistry terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chemistry_terms

    cooling curve A line graph representing the change between different phases of matter, typically from a gas to a solid or a liquid to a solid, as a function of time and temperature; e.g. showing how the temperature of a liquid substance changes over time as it condenses below its freezing point. coordinate chemistry coordinate covalent bond

  6. Sublimation (phase transition) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sublimation_(phase_transition)

    While the definition of sublimation is simple, there is often confusion as to what counts as a sublimation. False correspondence with vaporization Vaporization (from liquid to gas) is divided into two types: vaporization on the surface of the liquid is called evaporation , and vaporization at the boiling point with formation of bubbles in the ...

  7. Triple point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_point

    A typical phase diagram.The solid green line applies to most substances; the dashed green line gives the anomalous behavior of water. In thermodynamics, the triple point of a substance is the temperature and pressure at which the three phases (gas, liquid, and solid) of that substance coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium. [1]

  8. Phase (matter) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_(matter)

    In the physical sciences, a phase is a region of material that is chemically uniform, physically distinct, and (often) mechanically separable. In a system consisting of ice and water in a glass jar, the ice cubes are one phase, the water is a second phase, and the humid air is a third phase over the ice and water.

  9. Continuous cooling transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_cooling...

    There are two types of continuous cooling diagrams drawn for practical purposes. Type 1: This is the plot beginning with the transformation start point, cooling with a specific transformation fraction and ending with a transformation finish temperature for all products against transformation time for each cooling curve.
