Fr.: -trope   

A suffix denoting "turned toward" that specified by the initial element; → barotropic, → isotropic, → polytropic.

model-e keyhânšenâxti-ye hamgen o nâ-izogard

Fr.: modèle cosmiologique homogène mais anisotrope   

A solution to Einstein's theory of → general relativity that is spatially homogeneous but allows for rotation and/or shear. See also → Bianchi cosmological model.

barotropic
  فشارگرد   
fešârgard

Fr.: barotrope   

In a fluid, conditions where surfaces of constant pressure are parallel to surfaces of constant temperature. This state is equivalent to zero → baroclinicity.

baro-; → -tropic.

  گاز ِ فشارگرد   
gâz-e fešârgard

Fr.: gaz barotrope   

A gas whose density is a function solely of pressure.

barotropic; → gas.

barotropic instability
  ناپایداری ِ فشارگرد   
nâpâydâri-ye fešârgard

Fr.: instabilité barotrope   

A hydrodynamical instability that arises when the horizontal → shear gradient becomes very large. Barotropic instabilities grow by extracting kinetic energy from the mean flow field.

barotropic; → instability.

Cancer, Tropic of
  هورگردِ خرچنگ   
Hurgard-e Xarcang

Fr.: Tropique du Cancer   

Tropic of Cancer.

Capricorn, Tropic of

Fr.: Tropique du Capricorne   

Tropic of Capricorn.

Capricornus.

hylotropic
  ماده‌گرد   
mâdegard

Fr.: hylotropique   

Physical chemistry: Describing a substance that is capable of undergoing a change in phase (as from a liquid to a gas), with no change in chemical composition. If the substance is hylotropic over a limited range of pressure and temperatures, it is a pure chemical substance. If it is hylotropic over all pressure and temperatures except the most extreme ones, it is a → chemical element. See also → hylotrope.

First suggested by Wilhelm Ostwald (1904, in Annalen der Naturphilosophie 3, 355), from Gk. hylo-, combining form of hyle "matter; wood," because of the dependence on the composition, + → -tropic.

Mâdegard, from mâdé, → matter, + gard, → -tropic.

isentropic
  ایزودرگاشت   
izodargâšt

Fr.: isentrope   

Having a constant entropy.

iso- + → entropy + → -ic.

isentropic flow
  تچان ِ ایزودرگاشت   
tacân-e izodargâšt

Fr.: écoulement isentrope   

A → reversible flow in which the value of → entropy remains → constant; i.e. no energy is added to the flow, and no energy losses occur due to friction or dissipative effects.

isentropic; → flow.

isentropic process
  فراروند ِ ایزودرگاشت   
farâravand-e izodargâšt

Fr.: process isentrope   

A → thermodynamic process for which there is no → heat transfer with the surroundings, and no change in → entropy.

isentropic; → process.

isotropic
  ایزوگرد، همسان‌گرد   
izogard, hamsângard (#)

Fr.: isotrope   

Having physical properties that do not vary with direction.
