What are the abbreviations for BP and TP?
Thread Content
The original sentence reads: latent heat of vaporization at BP, latent heat of fusion at TP. I’m not sure what BP and TP refer to here; could they be certain pressure conditions? I would appreciate guidance from experts. This post was last edited by alex_zxorc on 2007-12-17 09:07]
The original text is incomplete; I’ll make do with what’s here. BP: Boiling point TP: Test point
I think it should be this one. . . . Boiling point (BP): The temperature at which the first bubble appears when a liquid with a fixed composition is heated under constant pressure. Dew point temperature (DP): The temperature at which air reaches saturation when cooled, with neither its water vapor content nor pressure changing. Dew point temperature (TP): The temperature at which water vapor condenses into frost on a surface, usually below 0 degrees
I agree with the view above. Also, may I ask what TP stands for? Isn’t the frost point called Frost Point?
