Examples of vapour pressure
vapour pressure
As it reaches vapour pressure, the fluid vaporizes and forms small bubbles of gas.

The cold spot temperature defines the vapour pressure and consequently, the atomic density.

This is significant when the working fluid's vapour pressure is low.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Any fluid can be used, but mercury is preferred for its high density and low vapour pressure.
From the en.wikipedia.org
This is not surprising given the material's low vapour pressure.
From the newscientist.com
As it cools, the difference in vapour pressure it creates draws more hot water vapour through the system.
From the newscientist.com
In other words, vapour pressure rises with temperature.

Cavitation will only occur if the pressure declines to some point below the saturated vapour pressure of the liquid.
From the en.wikipedia.org
This is because the water vapour pressure on Mars is so low that any ice near the surface would quickly evaporate.
