When water vapor, which is present in all but the driest air, comes in contact with a surface that is below what is called the "dew point temperature," the vapor becomes liquid and is called condensation An example is as follows: condensation forms on a glass of ice water since the surface of the glass is down to the dew point temperature of the inside air
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
The accumulation of water droplets on the inside surface of the window (The water can be touched by a person standing inside the house ) WINDOWS DO NOT CREATE WATER!! THIS IS A SIGN THAT THE HUMIDITY IN THE HOUSE IS TOO HIGH The windows are actually preventing the excess moisture from getting out of the house!
(psychoanalysis) an unconscious process whereby two ideas or images combine into a single symbol; especially in dreams a shortened version of a written work atmospheric moisture that has condensed because of cold the process of changing from a gaseous to a liquid or solid state
the process by which water or other liquids change from gas vapor to a liquid; process that occurs when water droplets form on surfaces or around the nuclei of a particle
conversion of a vapour to a liquid It is the process by which water vapour turns into fine water droplets to form cloud Condensation occurs when the air becomes completely saturated and is unable to hold any more water vapour
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
Condensation consists of small drops of water which form when warm water vapour or steam touches a cold surface such as a window. He used his sleeve to wipe the condensation off the glass. Formation of a liquid or solid from its vapour. Condensation usually occurs on a surface that is cooler than the adjacent gas. A substance condenses when the pressure exerted by its vapour exceeds the vapour pressure of its liquid or solid phase at the temperature of the surface where the condensation is to occur. The process causes the release of thermal energy. Condensation occurs on a glass of cold water on a warm, humid day when water vapour in the air condenses to form liquid water on the glass's colder surface. Condensation also accounts for the formation of dew, fog, rain, snow, and clouds
The change in state of matter from vapor to liquid that occurs with cooling Usually used in meteorology when discussing the formation of liquid water from vapor This process releases latent heat energy to the environment
the process by which water vapor becomes a liquid; the opposite of evaporation, which is the conversion of liquid to vapor Rain forms because of condensation of water vapor in the air
The change of a vapour or gas to a liquid when cooled For example, water vapour turns back to water droplets which form clouds in lower temperature areas of the sky
In a building: Beads or drops of water (and frequently frost in extremely cold weather) that accumulate on the inside of the exterior covering of a building when warm, moisture-laden air from the interior reaches a point where the temperature no longer permits the air to sustain the moisture it holds Use of louvers or attic ventilators will reduce moisture condensation in attics A vapor barrier under the gypsum lath or dry wall on exposed walls will reduce condensation in them
