| We mustn't assume the suspects' guilt.
| предполагать
| isobaric (adj)
| /aɪsəˈbærɪk/
| ia type of thermodynamic process in which the pressure of the system stays constant.
| The relationship between the isobaric and adiabatic processes is quite obscure.
| изобарический
| adiabatic (adj)
| /ædɪəˈbætɪk/
| a type of thermodynamic process which occurs without transferring heat or mass between the system and its surroundings
| The relationship between the isobaric and adiabatic processes is quite obscure.
| адиабатический
| isovolumetric (adj)
| isovolumetric
| A thermodynamic process that takes place at constant volume so that no work is done on or by the system.
| A work equals zero in isovolumetric process.
| изоволюметрический
| isothermal (adj)
| /aɪsəˈθɜːm(ə)/
| a type of thermodynamic process in which the temperature of the system remains constant.
| Only one point that often confuses people is the distinction between isothermal vs. Adiabatic.
| изотермический
| engine (n, c)
| /ˈenʤɪn/
| a machine that uses the energy from liquid fuel or steam to produce movement
| My car's been having engine trouble recently
| двигатель
| entropy (n, u)
| /entrəpɪ/
| the amount of order or lack of order in a system
| We also recall how these entropies are related.

| The aircraft were gathering data on radio wave propagation.
| распространение
| spring (n, c)
| /sprɪŋ/
| a piece of curved or bent metal that can be pressed into a smaller space but then returns to its usual shape

| the quality of being very formal and not relaxed
| I had some muscle stiffness after the bike ride.
| Жесткость
| pendulum (n, c)
| /pen.dʒəl.əm/
| a device consisting of a weight hanging on a rod or cord that moves from one side to the other
| When the lengths are equal, the energy in each mode is equally partitioned between the two pendulums.
| Маятник

| Unit 14
| longitudinal (adj)
| /ˌlɒŋ.ɡɪˈtʃuː.dɪ.nəl/
| running lengthwise rather than across
| Longitudinal waves include sound waves (vibrations in pressure, a particle of displacement, and particle velocity propagated in an elastic medium) and seismic P-waves (created by earthquakes and explosions).
| продольный
| rarefaction (n, u)
| /ˌreərɪˈfækʃən/ (ə)n
| the reduction of an item's density, the opposite of compression
| A common rarefaction wave is the area of low relative pressure following a shock wave (see picture)
| разрежение
| audible (adj)
| / ˈɔːdəbl/
| Sounds that can be detected with a human ear
| The human ear is sensitive to every minute pressure difference in the air if they are in the audible frequency range.
| слышимый
| ultrasonic (adj)
| / ˌʌltrəˈsɒnɪk/
| frequencies higher than the upper audible limit of human hearing.
| Ultrasonics, vibrations of frequencies greater than the upper limit of the audible range for humans—that is, greater than about 20 kilohertz
| ультразвуковой
| intensity (n, u)
| / ɪnˈtɛnsɪti/
| the power transferred per unit area, where the area is measured on the plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the energy
| The more intense the light reaching us is, the “brighter” the light appears to be
| интенсивность
| the Doppler effect
| / ðə Doppler ɪˈfɛkt/
| he change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source
| The total Doppler effect may therefore result from motion of the source, motion of the observer, or motion of the medium.
| эффект Доплера
| resonance (n, u)
| / ˈrɛznəns/
| the phenomenon of increased amplitude that occurs when the frequency of a periodically applied force is equal or close to a natural frequency of the system on which it acts
| Resonance manifests itself in many linear and nonlinear systems as oscillations around an equilibrium point.
