Does dew tform when the air temperature is below freezing.?
No, dew is liquid water and it forms when the air temperature drops sufficiently that the air can no longer hold all its water vapour. This must be above freezing point. Of course the same argument applies when the temperature does drop below zero, but then we get ice crystals instead of water drops, and we call it frost.
Why does your check engine light come on every time it drops below zero degrees outside?
Could be your anti freeze is low or more likely your thermostat is stuck open and your engine is not getting up to operating temperature.
Can a head gasket be blown on an mgf It has not overheated and temperature is still normal but the oil is getting in to the water tank?
in a word yes when you turn the engine off theoil pressure drops quickly but the water pressure drops slowly so water will get into the sump then your crankshaft journals fail
How many drops of water are there on earth?
700,000,000,000,000,000 drops by:smart guy
What happens when the cam shaft goes bad?
Engine makes noise, performance drops, fuel mileage drops,
What happens to relative humidity as the air temperature drops below dew point?
It stays at 100%.
Why Condensation is not possible in an open vessel?
Wherever in evaporating stream a temperature drops lower, corresponding to lower vapor pressure than the partial pressure of the vapor in the stream, condensation occurs.
When does condensation occur?
Condensation occurs when warm air hits a cooler surface and the moisture from the warm air forms on the cooler surface. In meteorology, condensation is water that is collected as droplets onto a cloud surface when humid or warm air gets in to contact with it.
Describe what happens when air is cooled to its dew point?
The dew point is the varying temperature at which atmospheric humidity condenses. If the air temperature drops below the dew point, dew and condensation form.
What condition causes water condensation?
Condensation commonly occurs when a vapor is cooled to its dew point, but the dew point can also be reached through compression. In nature dew point occurs with a drop in atmospheric pressure and temperature
Water drops that fall when the temperature is below freezing fall as?
Water drops that fall when the temperature is below freezing, fall as SNOW . Water drops that fall when the temperature is above freezing fall as RAIN .
Which of these terms is defined as water droplets forming on the grass as the temperature drops?
The dew point refers to water droplets forming on the grass as the temperature drops. This is actually a condensation process.
What occurs when the temperature of a saturated gas drops to its dew point?
it condenses
When you put ice cubes in juice drops of liquid seem to appear on the outside of the glass what 's this process called?
It's called "condensation"...The glass gets colder than the dewpoint temperature of the air (temperature at which saturation occurs and water vapor turns into liquid water) and therefore water drops form on the cold glass.
Difference between film and drop wise condenation?
Film condensation occurs when a continuous film of condensed liquid forms on a surface, while dropwise condensation occurs when individual droplets of condensed liquid form and coalesce on a surface. Dropwise condensation is more efficient than film condensation in terms of heat transfer, but it is more difficult to achieve and maintain in practice.
Is water irreversible?
Nope. If you turn the heat off so the temperature drops below 100C, you will have non-boiling water. When the steam's temperature drops below the vaporization temperature it will return to liquid state.
What role does temperature plays in evaporation and condensation?
Every element has a temperature where it changes or starts to change from a solid or liquid to a gas. Carbon sublimates from the solid form. Condensation works in the reverse manner.
