isotherm, line drawn on a map of a particular region of the earth's surface connecting points of equal temperature; each point reflects one temperature reading or an average of several readings over a period of time. The relative spacing of the isothermal lines indicates a temperature gradient, i.e., the amount of temperature change over a given distance. isotherm 1. a line on a map linking places of equal temperature 2. Physics a curve on a graph that connects points of equal temperature isotherm [′ī·sə‚thərm] (geophysics) A line on a chart connecting all points of equal or constant temperature. (thermodynamics) A curve or formula showing the relationship between two variables, such as pressure and volume, when the temperature is held constant. Also known as isothermal.

The chromatograph oven was operated isothermally at 50[degrees]C. Also shown are the corresponding responses for the dynamic complex viscosity ([Eta]*) measured isothermally under the new ASTM test conditions of 2 Hz, 7% strain and 100 [degrees] C from the separate RPA series of tests using the configuration given in table 6. isothermally treat at the austempering temperature to produce ausferrite with an austenite carbon content in the range of 1. |
