Because this chapter is focused on the applications of integrals it is assumed in all the examples that you are capable of doing the integrals. There will not be as much detail in the integration process in the examples in this chapter as there was in the examples in the previous chapter.
freezing point. noun. Abbr. fp. The temperature at which a liquid of specified composition solidifies under a fixed pressure, usually standard pressure. The temperature at any fixed pressure at which the liquid and solid phases of a substance of specified composition are in equilibrium.
The freezing point of water is the temperature at which it changes phase from a liquid to a solid. Mark Mawson / Contributor / Getty Images. by Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. Updated March 30, 2017. The freezing point or melting point of water is the temperature at which water changes phase from a liquid to a solid or vice versa. The freezing point describes the liquid to solid transition while the melting point is the temperature at which water goes from a solid (ice) to liquid water.
