1.1.1 Boiling and cavitation

The most common transition of water from liquid to gas is boiling by heating at constant pressure. This same state transition can be achieved by subjecting liquid water to a sufficiently low pressure at constant temperature: this is the physical basis of cavitation.

The phase diagram for pure water (figure 1 ) illustrates these two somewhat...
