Boiling point
The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid changes into a vapor.
The boiling point of a liquid varies depending upon the surrounding environmental pressure. A liquid in a partial vacuum has a lower boiling point than when that liquid is at atmospheric pressure. A liquid at high pressure has a higher boiling point than when that liquid is at atmospheric pressure. For a given pressure, different liquids boil at different temperatures.
The normal boiling point (also called the atmospheric boiling point or the atmospheric pressure boiling point) of a liquid is the special case in which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the defined atmospheric pressure at sea level, 1 atmosphere. At that temperature, the vapor pressure of the liquid becomes sufficient to overcome atmospheric pressure and allow bubbles of vapor to form inside the bulk of the liquid. The standard boiling point has been defined by IUPAC since 1982 as the temperature at which boiling occurs under a pressure of 1 bar.
Casualty (series 7)
The seventh series of the British medical drama television series Casualty commenced airing in the United Kingdom on BBC One on 12 September 1992 and finished on 27 February 1993.
Cast
Continuing into Series 7 were nurses Charlie Fairhead (Derek Thompson), Lisa "Duffy" Duffin (Cathy Shipton), Martin "Ash" Ashford (Patrick Robinson) and Sandra Nicholl (Maureen Beattie), registrar Julian Chapman (Nigel Le Vaillant), paramedics Josh Griffiths (Ian Bleasdale) and Jane Scott (Caroline Webster) and receptionist Norma Sullivan (Anne Kristen).
Joining the regular cast were staff general manager Kate Miller (Joanna Foster), consultant Mike Barratt (Clive Mantle), senior house officer Rob Khalefa (Jason Riddington), health care assistant Maxine Price (Emma Bird), administrator Simon Easton (Robert Daws) and locum registrar Andrew Bower (William Gaminara). Imogen Boorman played Nikki Wyatt – Ash’s girlfriend, Nicola Jeffries played receptionist Jenny and Ken Sharrock played Kevin Price – Maxine’s dad.
Boiling Points
Boiling Points was a prank reality television show, much like the format used on Candid Camera. It was broadcast on MTV in the United States from 2004 to 2005. In each half-hour episode, annoying situations were set up and deliberately inflicted on one or more young adults who were unaware that they were being tested. Examples included poor or incompetent customer service in a store or restaurant, being accosted by a date's ex-love-interest while out together, and unprovoked rudeness from a total stranger.
While being watched via hidden camera, the subject of the show must refrain from displaying a temper or storming off for a predetermined length of time. If he or she passes, a prize of $100 cash is awarded to them on the spot.
Typically, the Boiling Point time on each segment is anywhere from 3 to 20 minutes. Most often, people lose because they use obscenities in their confusion and/or anger.
The cast included improvisers Alison Becker, Jonathan Blitt, Colton Dunn, Giselle Forte, Rebekka Johnson, Billy Merritt, Missy O'Reilly, Eric Wippo and Sauce.
