Vaporization

the passage of a substance from the condensed phase (liquid or solid) to the gas phase (first-order phase transition). Vaporization includes evaporation and boiling. Evaporation is vaporization at the free surface of the condensed phase and includes sublimation in the case of solids. Boiling is vaporization characterized by bubbles of saturated vapor that appear on the heated surface and grow within the fluid.
