inversion temperature

inversion temperature

[in′vər·zhən ‚tem·prə·chər]
(engineering)
The temperature to which one junction of a thermocouple must be raised in order to make the thermoelectric electromotive force in the circuit equal to zero, when the other junction of the thermocouple is held at a constant low temperature.
(thermodynamics)
The temperature at which the Joule-Thomson effect of a gas changes sign.

Table 2 shows that for the PAR/(E-EA-GMA) system, the inversion temperature moves from 262 [degrees] C to 300 [degrees] C, and the maximum torque increases from 900 m [multiplied by] [g.sub.f] to 3550 m [multiplied by] [g.sub.f] as the amount of interfacial reaction is increased.
