CONDENSATION

This is the passage of a substance from the vapour state to the liquid state; it takes place by compression or cooling.

EVAPORATION

This is the passage of a body from the liquid state to the gaseous state. It occurs at any temperature, but all the more slowly the lower the temperature.

RESONANCE

Phenomenon in which the amplitude of oscillations induced in a vibrating system tends, under particular conditions, to become intensified (amplified) beyond all limits.

VISCOSITY

Property of matter whereby the particles of a body meet 'resistance' in sliding in relation to each other.The value of the resistance or internal friction depends on the nature of the body, large in solids, very small in viscous liquids and non-existent in gases.In liquids, viscosity decreases rapidly as temperature increases.

HARDENED AND TEMPERED STEEL

Heat treatment applied to special steels to improve their mechanical characteristics: it consists of hardening, followed by tempering to induce a significant increase in toughness of the material.

HARDENING

This is obtained when the structure of the metal at high temperature is harder and stronger than when cold.

TEMPERING

This consists of heating to a temperature of 720 degrees C followed by slow cooling, in order to attenuate the effects of the hardening without eliminating its effects.The material thus returns to a condition as close as possible to a stable chemical-physical balance.

SENSOR

This is a system which, stimulated by any form of energy, reacts by changing its state, hence one or more of its characteristics (resistivity, volume, temperature, etc.).For example, a material which, immersed in a magnetic field, undergoes a change in its conductivity, is a sensor.New-generation sensors are solid-state devices of microelectronic technology, which can read the environment and provide responses in the form of electrical signals for subsequent processing for final control actions.They can measure forces, acceleration, pressures and temperatures of gases, liquids and solids, etc.
