Term
|
Definition
| - the removal of heat energy from the surface of a liquid that is losing some of its molecules |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| - the property of a liquid whereby the surface becomes cooler during evaporation, owing to a loss of the molecules with the greatest kinetic energy to the gaseous state |
