Outlast was developed for NASA and is consistently used in maier sports jackets as the material with automatic air-conditioning. Millions of microscopic PCM (phase change material) capsules store warmth during body activity and distribute them in the rest period. They thus ensure reliable temperature management and prevent large temperature fluctuations in the clothing, even when activity levels or the outside temperature vary.  4, record 1, English, - phase%2Dchange%20microcapsule

When the encapsulated PCM [phase change material] is heated to the melting point, it absorbs heat energy as it goes from a solid state to a liquid state. This phase change produces a temporary cooling effect in the clothing layers... The heat energy may come from the body(e. g. when the wearer first dons the garment) or from a warm environment. Once the PCM has completely melted, the storage of heat stops. If the PCM garment is worn in a cold environment where the temperature is below the PCM's freezing point, and the fabric temperature drops below this transition temperature, the micro-encapsulated liquid PCM will change back to a solid state, generating heat energy and a temporary warming effect... The developers claim that this heat exchange produces a buffering effect in clothing, minimizing changes in skin temperature and prolonging the thermal comfort of the wearer.  5, record 1, English, - phase%2Dchange%20microcapsule

Les micro-capsules intégrées au cœur de la fibre ou dans les fils [...] sont remplies d'hydrocarbures paraffiniques dont l'état change en fonction de la température du corps passant de l'état solide à l'état liquide. Ultra sensibles, les PCM ou «phase change materials» (matériaux à changement de phase) se liquéfient à + ou - 30° et se solidifient en dessous. C'est en redevenant solides que les PCM libèrent la chaleur corporelle stockée dans les micro-capsules.  4, record 1, French, - microcapsule%20%C3%A0%20changement%20de%20phase

Cloud formation makes the convection process visible. An unstable atmospheric column will lead to updrafts. If the air below is moist, the updraft will lead to condensation into droplets. The condensation process accelerates the updraft owing to the release of latent heat. Examples are the various types of cumulus clouds (e.g., cumulus, cumulus congestus, cumulonimbus).  2, record 3, English, - condensation%20process

condensation. Phase transition from gas to liquid, accompanied by release of heat. In meteorology, condensation(the opposite of evaporation) usually refers to the method by which water vapor becomes a liquid.  2, record 3, English, - condensation%20process

Phase transitions.... In a continuous transition, entropy changes continuously, and hence the growth of order below T_c is also continuous. There is no latent heat involved in a continuous transition.  1, record 4, English, - continuous%20transition

Changements de phase. (...) P. Ehrenfest proposa, en 1933, d'appeler transitions du premier ordre les transitions s'accompagnant de discontinuités dans les grandeurs physiques, comme l'entropie, qui sont reliées à des dérivées premières de l'énergie libre, et transitions du deuxième ordre les transitions s'accompagnant de discontinuités dans les grandeurs physiques, comme la chaleur spécifique, qui sont reliées à des dérivées seconde de l'énergie libre, les dérivées premières étant continues.  1, record 4, French, - transition%20du%20deuxi%C3%A8me%20ordre
