For a vapor bubble to expand, the temperature must be high enough that the vapor pressure exceeds the ambient pressure (the atmospheric pressure, primarily).

At a given temperature, a substance with higher vapor pressure vaporizes more readily than a substance with a lower vapor pressure.

Measurement and units Vapor pressure is measured in the standard units of pressure.

As the vapor pressure increases, the concentration of vapor of the flammable liquid in the air increases.

The normal boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapor pressure is equal to normal atmospheric pressure.

Mechanism Every liquid has a vapor pressure, which is a function of that liquid's temperature.

Experimental measurement of vapor pressure is a simple procedure for common pressures between 1 and 200 kPa.

When heating a liquid consisting of two or more components, the bubble point is the temperature (at a given pressure) where the first bubble of vapor is formed.

Seeds triggering the conversion of vapor are referred to as condensation nuclei, as in the case of water vapor.

So when water molecules (water vapor) are added to a given volume of air, the dry air molecules must decrease by the same number, to keep the pressure or temperature from increasing.

This may include concentrating the product, formulation revision (i.e., addition of components to increase stability, preserve appearance, and or improve processing), decreasing a high vapor pressure solvent, or increasing the surface area.

Closed cup testers normally give lower values for the flash point than open cup (typically lower) and are a better approximation to the temperature at which the vapor pressure reaches the lower flammable limit.

At higher levels of income, markets become saturated and growth slows.

Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air.

Our location is saturated with evidence, and also with matter and energy.

It has a strong, disagreeable odor and a violently irritating vapor.

As water vapor condenses, latent heat is released into the air parcel.

Ice also appears colorless, and water vapor is essentially invisible as a gas.

Less saturated colors appear in the interior of the figure with white at the center.

Saturated fats, typically from animal sources, are next, while trans fats are to be avoided.

The water vapor is condensed, leaving pure carbon dioxide, which can then be sequestered.

Hence, temperature determines the concentration of vapor of the flammable liquid in the air.

In so unstable a continent, one saturated with weaponry, pouring in more guns is hardly welcome.

Unlike warm water vapor, previously detected near forming stars, cold water vapor would be capable of forming comets which then could bring water to inner planets, as is theorized for the origin of water on Earth.

Liquid water is evaporated on the cooling fins, releasing the vapor into the cooled area.

For he draws up the drops of water, which distill in rain from his vapor,

Getting treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor for those who seek death.

The usual suspects, like saturated fat and sugar, nicotine, opiates, cocaine, too much alcohol and chronic stress.

These stories saturated my cells and nerves, and to be honest, I stopped sleeping for three years.

TEL AVIV Saturated with their often tragic history, Jews tend to pay great reverence to the past.

The background must be bright enough to allow the camera to create a bright and saturated image.

During this time he worked as an apprentice in the Vapor Nou textile mill in Reus.

For each degree Celsius of warming, 7 more water is available to rain down from saturated air masses.

Saturated fats have all of the carbon atoms in their fatty acid chains bonded to hydrogen atoms, whereas unsaturated fats have some of these carbon atoms double bonded, so their molecules have relatively fewer hydrogen atoms than a saturated fatty acid of the same length.

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a chemical process used to produce high quality, high performance, solid materials.

This is because of the condensation of water vapor in the air parcel due to expansion cooling.

Water vapor is consistently the most common volcanic gas, normally comprising more than 60 of total emissions.

Sound pressure level Sound pressure is the difference, in a given medium, between average local pressure and the pressure in the sound wave.

By contrast, countries that exported capital now enjoy an excess of liquidity because capital is shying away from saturated countries.

Extreme flooding hit Dar es Salaam, Tanzania after unusually heavy rains saturated the East African capital city in April 2014.

Total fat in this diet is 25 to 35 of calories, with saturated fat at 8 or less of calories.

A vapor barrier can be installed on the outside of the original framing but may not be needed.

The pressure gradient between this region and the ambient pressure will propel matter toward the low pressure area.

But they forgot this the fact that birds dine on grubs, that robins eat lots of worms now saturated with DDT.

And the bad fats are things like trans fatty acids and processed food and saturated fats, which we find in meat.
