Unsaturated air can become saturated in three ways—by evaporation of water into the air; by the mixing of two masses of air of different temperatures, both initially unsaturated but saturated as a mixture; or, most commonly, by cooling the air, which reduces its capacity to hold moisture as water vapour sometimes to the point that the water vapour it holds is sufficient for saturation. 3, record 1, English, - unsaturated%20air

Pour se refroidir, le corps humain transpire pour garder une température corporelle stable.

Because the oils from blossoms such as jasmine, gardenia, tuberose, and violet are destroyed or lost during steam distillation, a process termed enfleurage has been used. The blossoms are placed in contact with purified fats, which become saturated with the odorous oils. Extraction with alcohol then removes the oils from the fats. 4, record 5, English, - enfleurage

Procédé d’extraction à froid des essences végétales, souvent de prix. Il consiste à recueillir le parfum sur des plateaux disposés en chicane et contenant de la graisse de bœuf purifiée; au-dessus de chaque plateau se trouve un treillage métallique destiné à recevoir les fleurs. On fait passer, en vase clos, un courant d’air très lent qui, plus ou moins saturé du parfum des fleurs, vient lécher la surface de la graisse de bœuf laquelle s’empare très facilement de l'essence. Quand on estime que les fleurs sont épuisées, on les renouvelle, jusqu'à ce que la graisse soit saturée d’essence. Cette dernière est extraite au moyen d’alcool qui s’en empare. On traite ainsi les fleurs de jasmin, de réséda, de tubéreuse, de jonquille, de rose... et l'on obtient ainsi des parfums non dénaturés par la distillation à la vapeur d’eau [...] 3, record 5, French, - enfleurage

So, if condensation is taking place, latent heat is being released to the surrounding air. So you have two opposing trends going on at the same time within this parcel of air. It's rising and cooling, but it's also condensing and being warmed. Which one will win out? That is, will the air get colder, or will it get warmer? Well, what happens is that the air will still cool off, but not as fast. If water vapor in the air is condensing, the adiabatic rate is less. The air is only cooling off at a rate of about 5 degrees C/1000 meters (3.3 deg per 1000 feet). This is called the Saturated adiabatic lapse rate (or the wet adiabatic lapse rate, or the moist adiabatic lapse rate, depending on the textbook you are using). The saturated lapse rate varies with the original temperature of the air parcel, but 5 degrees C/1000 meters is a commonly used value. 6, record 18, English, - saturated%20adiabatic%20lapse%20rate

The pseudoadiabatic lapse rate is so close to the moist adiabatic lapse rate that meteorologists tend to ignore this difference and often refer to them synonymously.

Le tensiomètre permet de mesurer la charge hydraulique du sol y. Il est constitué d’une bougie en céramique poreuse fixée à l'extrémité d’un tube, enfoncé dans le sol à la profondeur souhaitée. Le tube ainsi que la bougie sont remplis d’eau dégazée et l'ensemble est hermétiquement fermé par un bouchon et relié par un capillaire à un manomètre de mercure. Le système ainsi mis en place autorise des échanges osmotiques à travers la paroi poreuse. Une certaine quantité d’eau sort du tensiomètre jusqu'à ce que la dépression équilibrée par la colonne de mercure soit égale au potentiel de l'eau dans le sol. Si l'humidité du sol vient à baisser, l'eau diffuse à travers la bougie poreuse vers le milieu environnant : il se produit une dépression à l'intérieur du système mise en évidence par le manomètre. De même, lorsque le sol s’humidifie, la tension baisse. Lorsqu'il est saturé, elle est nulle. [...] Les tensiomètres sont des appareils simples, précis et très utilisés mais la gamme de potentiels qu'ils permettent de mesurer est limitée(ils ne fonctionnent plus à y > 0. 09MPa).

La hauteur de la base correspond au niveau de condensation. C'est-à-dire que l'air est relativement sec en-deçà de cette hauteur et est saturé au-delà.

L'air saturé est un mélange d’air sec et de vapeur d’eau saturée, les deux constituants étant à la même température sèche. Il s’ensuit que la valeur maximale de la quantité de vapeur d’eau est une fonction de la température sèche de l'air considéré. Pour cette valeur, l'air est donc saturé, ce qui veut dire qu'il est impossible, pour cette température, d’ajouter une quantité d’eau supplémentaire, si minime soit-elle(même sous forme de vapeur), sans une condensation immédiate de cette même quantité d’eau(sous forme liquide). 1, record 32, French, - air%20satur%C3%A9

All clouds, from the puffy cumulus to the wispy cirrus, is a portion of air that has condensed into visible moisture. Cooling of such a portion of air to its dew point is by far the main reason for cloud formation. The main cause for the cooling lies in some process which causes air to rise or be forced upward. Large warm air masses may slide up the slope of a colder heavier mass of air. As the warmer air overrides the cooler, the warm air expands and is cooled itself by the expansion of air molecules, thus finally reaching a dew-point temperature resulting in widespread cloudiness. All clouds consist of minute water droplets, ice crystals, or a combination of both. 1, record 35, English, - cloud%20formation

A cooling tower basically consists of an air circuit and a water circuit leading to a heat exchange vessel in which the air and water are brought into contact. By a stack effect, i.e. by natural draft, the cooling tower shell provides air circulation. When, as is the case with the wet cooling towers at EDF thermal and nuclear plants, the air and water are placed in direct contact in the heat exchange vessel, the hot air escaping from the shell is saturated with steam : mixing with the colder outside air produces by steam condensation a plume whose structure is similar to a natural cloud. 1, record 36, English, - wet%20cooling%20tower
