triple point

名詞

(physics) The unique temperature and pressure at which the solid, liquid and gas phases of a substance are all in equilibrium.

日本語の意味

物質の固体、液体、気体の3相が平衡状態にある一意的な温度と圧力

In the lab, we carefully measured the triple point of the substance to calibrate the thermometer.

実験室で、温度計を校正するためにその物質の三重点を慎重に測定しました。

意味（1）

(physics) The unique temperature and pressure at which the solid, liquid and gas phases of a substance are all in equilibrium.

A solid sublimes only when the pressure of its vapor is below that of the triple point for that substance.

意味（2）

(physics) A point where the incident shock wave, the reflected shock wave, the Mach stem, and one slipstream meet.

When the incident shock wave is at position “a” the second triple point, T, is still inside the zone where the vibrational degree of freedom has not yet reached its equilibrium and the dissociational degree of freedom is still frozen at that position, as its excitation can be assumed to start only after vibrational equilibrium is reached.

意味（3）

(mathematics) A point where a curve or surface intersects itself along three arcs.

The number of the distinguished edges whose orientations point towards the triple point is exactly one, or exactly two.

意味（4）

(meteorology) The intersection of an occluded front, cold front, and warm front.

A further investigation is made of the reasonably-close relationship between some multiple tornado outbreaks in the British Isles and the passage of frontal-system triple points (TPs) using, principally, TORRO records and the hourly British Isles charts archived by the Meterorological Office at Bracknell.

意味（5）

(meteorology) The point where two boundaries, such as a dry line, outflow boundary, or cold front, intersect.

Few, however, reach the African continent; some dissipate in the intertropical-front bulge east of southern Africa; others form triple points with the temperate fronts available for recurving anywhere between Australia and the Seychelles-Madagascar-Mascarenes (Reunion-Mauritius-Rodriguez) sector.

意味（6）

(plate tectonics) A point where three plates intersect.

Such a 'piecrust model' has been used to explain the generation of triple points which can give rise to splitting of a continental body.
