  1. Make (something) denser or more concentrated
    • - the limestones of the Jurassic age are condensed into a mere 11 feet
  2. Express (a piece of writing or speech) in fewer words; make concise
    • - he condensed the three plays into a three-hour drama
  3. (in word processing) (of character spacing) reduced

  4. Change or cause to change from a gas or vapor to a liquid
    • - the moisture vapor in the air condenses intodroplets of water
    • - the cold air was condensing his breath
  1. (condensation) (psychoanalysis) an unconscious process whereby two ideas or images combine into a single symbol; especially in dreams
  2. (condensation) the process of changing from a gaseous to a liquid or solid state
  3. (condensation) atmospheric moisture that has condensed because of cold
  4. (condensation) compression: the process or result of becoming smaller or pressed together; "the contraction of a gas on cooling"
  5. (condensation) a shortened version of a written work
  6. (condensation) condensing: the act of increasing the density of something
  7. Condensation is the change in the phase of matter from the gaseous phase (of an element/ chemical species) into liquid droplets or solid grains of the same element/ chemical species. ...
  8. (Condensation (aerosol dynamics)) Condensation can be summarized as a phase transition from a gas to a liquid as vapor condenses on a pre-existing surface, the exact opposite of the transition from liquid to vapor which occurs in evaporation. ...
  9. (Condensation (graph theory)) A directed graph is called strongly connected if there is a path from each vertex in the graph to every other vertex. In particular, this means paths in each direction; a path from a to b and also a path from b to a.
  10. (Condensation (organic chemistry)) A condensation reaction is a chemical reaction in which two molecules or moieties (functional groups) combine to form one single molecule, together with the loss of a small molecule. ...
  11. (Condensation) Occurs when warm moist air meets a cold surface. The water in the air then either settles as water droplets on the surface (as it does on windows for example),or if the surface is absorbent, it soaks into the surface. ...
  12. (Condensation) The formation of frost or drops of water on inside walls when warm vapor inside a room meets a cold wall or window.
  13. (Condensation) The conversion of water vapor or other gas to liquid as the temperature drops or the atmospheric pressure rises.
  14. (Condensation) the process of reducing from one form to another denser form such as steam to water.
  15. (condensation) Water condensing on walls, ceiling and pipes. Normal in areas of high humidity, usually controlled by ventilation or a dehumidifier.
  16. (condensation) When a vapor reforms a liquid.  This is what happens on your bathroom mirror when you take a shower.
  17. (condensation) when the air inside an enclosure is warmer than the air outside the enclosure, the moisture vapor in the interior air will condense, creating small water droplets at the intersection of dissimilar materials (aluminum and gaskets).
  18. (Condensation) In a building: Beads or drops of water (and frequently frost in extremely cold weather) that accumulate on the inside of the exterior covering of a building when warm, moisture-laden air from the interior reaches a point where the temperature no longer permits the air to sustain ...
  19. (Condensation) The change of a gas to a liquid state. Because warm air can hold more water vapor than cold air, as warm air cools its ability to hold water vapor is reduced. Excess moisture condenses on the warm side of the glass.
  20. (CONDENSATION) The change of water from vapor to liquid when warm, moisture-laden air comes in contact with a cold surface.
  21. (Condensation) The result of warm moisture-laden air contacting cold window glass. Keeping a roof vent open helps to reduce the humidity levels.
  22. (Condensation (polycondensation)) Polymerization reaction in which simple byproducts (for example, water) are formed. Polymers like polyester, polyamide are synthetised by polycondensation.
  23. (Condensation) The process by which a vapour becomes a liquid or solid; the opposite of evaporation. In meteorological usage, this term is applied only to the transformation from vapour to liquid.
  24. (CONDENSATION) Formed by more heating being absorbed into the air leaving less temperature to carry the water vapor produced in gas combustion to pass out of the venting system.
  25. (Condensation) Moisture that forms on a surface when it is colder than the dew point.
