Accel enrichment

Joe,

Mmm, but if you are compressing the gas the temperature is also going 
up (if you are compressing fast enough that things are roughly 
adiabatic), which raises the vapor pressure.  In most regimes vapor 
pressure of a liquid or solid rises so quickly as a function of 
temperature that this is the dominant effect if the change is 
adiabatic, so that increasing pressure increases "solubility" of 
liquid droplets, and decreasing lowers it, hence the observation 
about rising columns of air and falling barometric pressures 
signaling cloud formation and rain, which someone brought up earlier.
	If the change is isothermal, then in that regime, it would be 
correct to say that raising the overall pressure would cause the 
vapor to start condensing out, and vice versa.
	The question is, at which end of the scale are we??  This is where 
my theorizing ends and we need an experimentalist to step in.

So full of hot air I need to keep my hat tied on a string...:-)
