two-phase
Having twin stages
Two-phase describes a system or process involving two distinct stages or states.
In electrical engineering, two-phase power uses two alternating currents offset by ninety degrees—an early system largely replaced by three-phase power.
In physics and engineering, two-phase flow involves two states of matter moving together: two-phase flow of steam and water in pipes.
More generally, any procedure with two sequential parts: a two-phase clinical trial.
