liquéfaction
Liquéfaction refers to the process by which a substance transitions from a solid or gaseous state to a liquid state. This physical transformation occurs when matter gains sufficient energy to overcome intermolecular forces while maintaining molecular cohesion typical of liquids.
In the context of cryogenics and industrial applications, liquefaction commonly describes the conversion of gases into
Liquéfaction also occurs naturally during geological events. Soil liquefaction happens when saturated, loose soils lose strength
The reverse process of liquefaction is vaporization or solidification, depending on whether the liquid transitions to
Industrial liquefaction processes employ various technologies including heat exchangers, compressors, and expansion turbines. The Linde process
In food science, liquefaction describes enzymatic breakdown of solid materials into liquid form, such as during
The energy requirements for liquefaction vary significantly among substances. Helium, for instance, requires extremely low temperatures
