What's the difference between dissipation and separation?

Dissipation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of dissipating or dispersing; a state of dispersion or separation; dispersion; waste.

Separation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of separating, or the state of being separated, or separate.
  • (n.) Chemical analysis.
  • (n.) Divorce.
  • (n.) The operation of removing water from steam.
