Lämpötilansiirtymä

Lämpötilansiirtymä is a Finnish term that translates to temperature transition or phase transition related to temperature. It refers to the change in a substance's physical state caused by altering its temperature. Common examples include the melting of ice into water (solid to liquid) or the boiling of water into steam (liquid to gas). These transitions occur at specific temperatures, known as melting points and boiling points, respectively. Conversely, a gas can condense into a liquid upon cooling, and a liquid can freeze into a solid. These changes are fundamental in thermodynamics and have wide-ranging applications in science and industry. The energy absorbed or released during a temperature transition is called latent heat. Understanding these transitions is crucial for designing processes involving heating, cooling, and material transformations.
