Evaporation vs. Condensation

Evaporationnoun

The process of a liquid converting to the gaseous state.

Evaporationnoun

The process in which all or a portion of liquid (in a container) is turned into vapour, in order to increase the concentration of solid matter in the mixture.

Evaporationnoun

(archaic) That which is evaporated; vapor.

Evaporationnoun

The process by which any substance is converted from a liquid state into, and carried off in, vapor; as, the evaporation of water, of ether, of camphor.

Evaporationnoun

The transformation of a portion of a fluid into vapor, in order to obtain the fixed matter contained in it in a state of greater consistence.

Evaporationnoun

That which is evaporated; vapor.

Evaporationnoun

See Vaporization.

Evaporationnoun

the process of becoming a vapor

Evaporationnoun

the process of extracting moisture

Evaporationnoun

the process of turning from liquid into vapour

Evaporationnoun

the process of something abstract ceasing to exist

Evaporation

Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase. The surrounding gas must not be saturated with the evaporating substance.

Condensationnoun

The act or process of condensing or of being condensed

Condensationnoun

The state of being condensed.

Condensationnoun

(physics) The conversion of a gas to a liquid.

Condensationnoun

The condensate so formed.

Condensationnoun

(chemistry) The reaction of two substances with the simultaneous loss of water or other small molecule.

Condensationnoun

The act or process of condensing or of being condensed; the state of being condensed.

Condensationnoun

The act or process of reducing, by depression of temperature or increase of pressure, etc., to another and denser form, as gas to the condition of a liquid or steam to water.

Condensationnoun

A rearrangement or concentration of the different constituents of one or more substances into a distinct and definite compound of greater complexity and molecular weight, often resulting in an increase of density, as the condensation of oxygen into ozone, or of acetone into mesitylene.

Condensationnoun

(psychoanalysis) an unconscious process whereby two ideas or images combine into a single symbol; especially in dreams

Condensationnoun

the process of changing from a gaseous to a liquid or solid state

Condensationnoun

Condensationnoun

a shortened version of a written work

Condensationnoun

the act of increasing the density of something

Condensationnoun

water which collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it

Condensationnoun

the conversion of a vapour or gas to a liquid

Condensationnoun

a reaction in which two molecules combine to form a larger molecule, producing a small molecule such as H₂O as a by-product.

Condensationnoun

the fusion of two or more images or ideas into a single composite or new image, as a primary process in unconscious thought exemplified in dreams.

Condensationnoun

a concise version of something, especially a text

Condensation

Condensation is the change of the physical 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.
