Conversion of a solid to a liquid by heat, or a gas into a liquid by cold or pressure.  2, record 1, English, - liquefaction

... liquefaction, was historically linked to hydrogenation and other high-pressure (10-30 MPa) thermal decomposition processes which employed reactive hydrogen or carbon monoxide carrier gases to produce a liquid fuel from organics at moderate temperatures (300-400°C). However, over the past decade, liquefaction has often been used in the literature to encompass any thermochemical conversion process which primarily yields a liquid tar/oil product (pyrolysis is therefore included with hydrogenation as being "liquefaction").  3, record 1, English, - liquefaction

Para licuar el aire, primero hay que comprimirlo con una bomba y hacerlo pasar por un tanque de enfriamiento. [...] el aire se enfría a -194°C, en que se licúa, y puede guardarse. [...] El mejor método de separar los gases del aire es la licuación del mismo.  4, record 1, Spanish, - licuefacci%C3%B3n

The process by which water vapor becomes a liquid such as dew, fog, or cloud or a solid like snow; condensation in the atmosphere is brought about by either of two processes: cooling of air to its dew point, or addition of enough water vapor to bring the mixture bo the point of saturation (that is, the relative humidity is raised to 100).  2, record 2, English, - condensation

In meteorology, condensation is considered almost exclusively with reference to water vapor which changes to dew, fog, or cloud. It is indispensable to avoid confusing condensation with precipitation, for the former is by no means equivalent to the latter, though it must always precede the latter.  3, record 2, English, - condensation

In physics, "condensation" more commonly refers to the transformation from a gas to a liquid and can thus be considered a synonym of "liquefaction".  4, record 2, English, - condensation

C'est le contraire de la vaporisation dans le premier cas, de la sublimation dans le second  2, record 2, French, - condensation

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS

La liquéfaction est un cas spécifique de condensation, le passage, d'un gaz à l'état liquide. La sublimation, le passage d'un gaz à l'état solide est un autre cas de condensation. Il ne faut pas, surtout en météorologie, confondre ces notions. En physique, pourtant, parce que la liquéfaction est le cas le plus courant de condensation, on considère souvent que les termes «liquéfaction» et «condensation» sont synonymes.  3, record 2, French, - condensation

Dans le cas de la vapeur d'eau ce phénomène est à l'origine des nuages, des précipitations, de la rosée. En se condensant, une certaine masse d'eau libère la même quantité de chaleur qu'elle aurait absorbé pour s'évaporer; c'est la chaleur latente de vaporisation.  4, record 2, French, - condensation
