Adding heat
energy in any off
the three states
will increase the
temperature.
Changing the
state off a
substance will
require a larger
quantity of heat
energy.

What would
happen if you take
two refrigerant
tanks, one with
refrigerant and the
other in a vacuum
and connect a
hose between
them?
Refrigerant flows
from the tank
with refrigerant to
the tank that is in
a vacuum, until
the pressures
equalize.
Atmospheric Pressure
At Sea Level, the
atmospheric
pressure on our
bodies is 14.7 PSIA.
A column of air,, one
inch square and 60
miles high weighs
14.7 pounds.
