= Inversion temperature
{wiki=Inversion_temperature}
Inversion temperature is a term used in thermodynamics and gas physics to describe the temperature at which a gas, when cooled, undergoes a change in behavior that leads to the inversion of its thermal conductivity characteristics. Specifically, it refers to the temperature above which a gas behaves like an ideal gas and below which its thermal conductivity starts to increase with increasing temperature, rather than decreasing as might be expected.
