Explore: Isothermal Layers

Turbulence typically plays a role in the formation of fluid mixed layers. The mixed layer plays an important role in the physical climate. Because the specific

principal layers above, which are largely determined by temperature, several secondary layers may be distinguished by other properties: The ozone layer is contained

stratified temperature zones, with the warmer layers of air located higher (closer to outer space) and the cooler layers lower (closer to the planetary surface

isohaline and isotherm layers of the ocean; for example, in Opisthoproctus soleatus, upper distribution limits coincide with the 400-m isotherm for 8 °C (46 °F)

heats of adsorption for all layers except the first are equal to the heat of condensation of the adsorbate. The Langmuir isotherm is usually better for chemisorption

depends strongly on whether the process is isentropic or isothermal. Accordingly, isothermal compressibility is defined: β T = − 1 V ( ∂ V ∂ p ) T , {\displaystyle

explains adsorption by assuming an adsorbate behaves as an ideal gas at isothermal conditions. According to the model, adsorption and desorption are reversible

orientation to be isothermal.) Isothermal coordinates on surfaces were first introduced by Gauss. Korn and Lichtenstein proved that isothermal coordinates exist
