|
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 |

The isotherms at 850 mb exhibit a considerable north-south gradient, particularly in Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois where temperatures range from +4[degrees] to -16[degrees]C. We propose an equation for determining the surface charge that allows the isotherms to be analyzed by a uniform criterion. Session 2 on Friday, June 20, will examine the choice of coating level, including the monolayer concept, determination of the actual requirement, the oil absorption (or packing fraction) method, viscosity reduction of a suspension, settling volume of a suspension, adsorption isotherms and empirical confirmation. |
