2 unusual facts about Condensation


Chocolate bloom

Condensation on to the surface of the chocolate or moisture in the chocolate coating causes the sugar to absorb the moisture and dissolve.

Condescension

Condensation, a word which is commonly confused with condescension


Aldol condensation

In industry the Aldox process developed by Royal Dutch Shell and Exxon, converts propylene and syngas directly to 2-Ethylhexanol via hydroformylation to butyraldehyde, aldol condensation to 2-ethylhexenal and finally hydrogenation.

Bergeron process

Ice crystals can form from heterogeneous deposition, contact, immersion, or freezing after condensation.

Bose–Einstein condensate

To exhibit Bose–Einstein condensation, the fermions must "pair up" to form compound particles (e.g. molecules or Cooper pairs) that are bosons.

Bottle crate

In Japan, since the early 1970s, HDPE bottle crates have been pigmented with a variety of perylene, quinacridone, azo condensation, and Isoindoline pigments.

Definition of man

One aspect of symbols that Burke points out in his discussion of Sigmund Freud's work is condensation.

Dynamic insulation

Warm moist air flowing out through the insulation and cooling rapidly increases the risk of condensation occurring within the insulation which will degrade the thermal performance of the wall and could, if prolonged, lead to mould growth and timber decay.

Farinamycin

3,4-AHBAm is made via the aminoshikimate pathway from L-Aspartate-4-semialdehyde and Dihydroxyacetone phosphate via an enzyme catalyzed aldol condensation followed by ring formation.

Knoevenagel condensation

The Knoevenagel condensation reaction is an organic reaction named after Emil Knoevenagel.

Laser-assisted water condensation

Laser-assisted water condensation is an experimental technique for artificially causing rainfall that was developed in 2011 by scientists from the University of Geneva.

Mifamurtide

One method of synthesis (shown first) is based on N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) assisted esterification of N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutaminyl-L-alanine with N-hydroxysuccinimide, followed by a condensation with 2-aminoethyl-2,3-dipalmitoylglycerylphosphoric acid in triethylamine (Et3N).

Nebular hypothesis

A major critique came during the 19th century from James Clerk Maxwell who maintained that different rotation between the inner and outer parts of a ring could not allow condensation of material.

Priddy Mineries

The buddle pits and condensation flues are the remains of the Waldegrave lead works of that time.

UVR8

It shares sequence homology with mammalian proteins involved in regulating chromatin condensation, for example the human RCC1 gene product.
