- (con efusión) In physics and chemistry, the process by which a gas escapes from a container through an orifice of considerably smaller diameter than the mean free path of the molecules. The escape of the gas is due to the pressure difference between the container and the outside. Under these conditions, essentially all molecules arriving at the orifice continue on and pass through the orifice, since collisions between molecules in the region of the orifice are negligible. Conversely, when the orifice diameter is larger than the mean free path of the gas, the flow obeys Sampson's flow law. When the molecules of a gas escape from the vessel their pressure decreases with time.
- (con efusión) Exhaust of combustion gases through a small orifice as a propellant medium in a jet engine; emanation.
- (con efusión) In medicine, it refers to the abnormal accumulation of fluid in an anatomical space (body cavities), usually without localization. Specific examples include subdural, mastoid, pericardial and pleural effusions or effusions.
Examples of use in Spanish: "la efusión pleural es una acumulación de líquido entre las capas de membranas que cubren los pulmones".
