Russian Translation(s) & Details for 'outgassing'

English Word: outgassing

Key Russian Translations:

• дегазация [dʲɪɡəzɐˈtsɨjə] - [Technical/Formal]
• выделение газов [vɨɪdʲɪˈlʲenʲɪje ˈɡazəf] - [Informal/Descriptive, used in general scientific contexts]

Frequency: Low (This term is specialized and primarily used in technical or scientific fields, not in everyday conversation.)

Difficulty: Advanced (C1) - Requires familiarity with scientific terminology and concepts; suitable for learners with a strong background in technical Russian.

Pronunciation (Russian):

дегазация: [dʲɪɡəzɐˈtsɨjə]

выделение газов: [vɨɪdʲɪˈlʲenʲɪje ˈɡazəf]

Note on дегазация: The stress falls on the fourth syllable ("tsɨjə"), which is a common challenge for non-native speakers due to the word's length and technical nature. Pronounce the initial "д" as a soft "d" sound.

Audio: []

Meanings and Usage:

The release of gas from a material, often in scientific or engineering contexts

Translation(s) & Context:

• дегазация - Used in formal technical discussions, such as in space engineering or materials science, to describe the process precisely.
• выделение газов - Applied in more descriptive or informal scientific writing, emphasizing the general phenomenon without specific technical jargon.

Usage Examples:

• В космосе дегазация материалов может вызвать перегрузку систем жизнеобеспечения.

  In space, outgassing of materials can cause overload in life-support systems.

• Инженеры тщательно тестируют полимеры на выделение газов, чтобы избежать проблем в вакууме.

  Engineers thoroughly test polymers for outgassing to avoid issues in a vacuum.

• Процесс дегазации ускоряется при повышении температуры, что критично для производства электронных компонентов.

  The outgassing process accelerates with increased temperature, which is critical for electronic component manufacturing.

• Выделение газов из пластика в замкнутом пространстве может привести к загрязнению воздуха.

  Outgassing from plastic in a confined space can lead to air contamination.

• Для минимизации дегазации в спутниках используются специальные покрытия.

  Special coatings are used on satellites to minimize outgassing.

Russian Forms/Inflections:

"Дегазация" is a feminine noun of the first declension in Russian. It follows standard patterns for feminine nouns ending in -ция. Below is a table outlining its key inflections:

For "выделение газов", it is a phrase where "выделение" is a neuter noun of the second declension. It inflects as follows in singular (as a compound phrase, "газов" may remain unchanged in context):

These forms are regular, so no irregularities to note.

Russian Synonyms/Antonyms:

• Synonyms:
  • выделение летучих веществ (more general term for volatile release)
  • газовыделение (slightly more descriptive in industrial contexts)
• Antonyms:
  • абсорбция (absorption, where gases are taken in rather than released)
  • адсорбция (adsorption, a surface-level gas retention process)

Related Phrases:

• процесс дегазации - The process of outgassing; refers to the systematic removal or occurrence of gas release in manufacturing.
• выделение газов в вакууме - Outgassing in a vacuum; commonly used in aerospace to describe environmental challenges.
• контроль дегазации - Outgassing control; a phrase for measures to manage or prevent gas release in technical applications.

Usage Notes:

"Дегазация" directly corresponds to "outgassing" in technical English and is the preferred term in formal Russian scientific literature. Use it in contexts involving materials science, space technology, or engineering to maintain precision. For everyday or less formal discussions, "выделение газов" might be more accessible. Be mindful of the noun's feminine gender when constructing sentences, as it affects adjective agreement (e.g., "интенсивная дегазация" for "intensive outgassing"). When choosing between translations, opt for "дегазация" in professional settings and "выделение газов" for explanatory purposes.

Common Errors:

• Confusing "дегазация" with "дегазация воздуха" (air degassing) – Learners might overuse the full phrase when the simple form suffices. Correct usage: Use "дегазация" alone for general outgassing; incorrect: "дегазация газов" which redundantly repeats the concept.

• Misinflecting the noun – For example, using "дегазацию" (accusative) incorrectly in nominative contexts. Correct: "Дегазация происходит в вакууме" (Outgassing occurs in a vacuum); Incorrect: "Дегазацию происходит" (grammatically wrong).

Cultural Notes:

In Russian scientific and engineering contexts, terms like "дегазация" reflect the influence of Soviet-era space exploration, where outgassing was a critical issue in missions like those of the Soyuz program. This highlights Russia's historical emphasis on aerospace technology, making the term not just technical but also tied to national pride in scientific achievements.
