0 gas or extremely small drops of liquid that result from the heating of a liquid or solid:
1 a condition in which someone suddenly feels sick and weak, usually because of a shock
2 a gas that escapes from a liquid or solid, esp. as a result of heating:
4 and the water vapor it carries condenses, forming very active thunderstorms.
The saturated vapor pressure and density are, respectively, 10 7 erg 0cm 3 and 2.67 10 19 cm 3 in these conditions.
The melt is forced out of irradiated zone under the action of vapor pressure and hardens in the form of a roller.
Multifocal and full-field electroretinogram changes associated with color-vision loss in mercury vapor exposure.
The plasma expansion was calculated using an equilibrium condition for the pressure and vapor density, and thermal velocity for evaporated atoms.
The ablation mass here becomes strongly dependent on the vapor temperature.
That is why we prepare metal vapor plasma in a capillary with liquid wall - by wire explosion in water.
The vapor plume is assumed to be transparent for laser radiation, and its expansion is described by the isoentropic hydrodynamic equations.
