    Pressure change from cooling liquid.

    I have an application where I need to calculate the vacuum (pressure change below atmospheric) generated from a cooling liquid in a semi-rigid container. If the container is filled near full (e.g. 2 litres) with a liquid at e.g. 70C, sealed and left to cool to ambient (e.g. 20C) there is a...

    I made liquid oxygen today. I think

    Went to visit a Jr. High today to make liquid nitrogen ice cream. One way is to drop the ice cream mix into the nitrogen. I think we actually made some liquid oxygen accidentally. After doing the dots, we strain the nitrogen through a sieve to catch the ice cream and store the excess in a...
