Freezing Liquid with Compressed Nitrogen - Is it Possible?

AI Thread Summary
Freezing liquid in a tank using compressed nitrogen is theoretically possible, especially with a double-sided tank design and internal nozzles for nitrogen spray. The freezing point of water is 0°C, while gasoline has a much lower freezing point, around -40°C. The amount of nitrogen required and the time needed to freeze 50 liters of water or gasoline will vary significantly; water will require less nitrogen and time compared to gasoline. For water, approximately 10-15 minutes may be needed, while gasoline could take significantly longer and require more nitrogen due to its lower freezing point. Precise calculations depend on specific tank design and environmental conditions, but the concept is feasible.

Is it possible to freeze liquid in tank with compressed nitrogen? Tank has double sides where nitrogen is relased. Also there are numerous nozzles inside tank through which nitrogen spray. Would be final result solid form of liquid? What is difference in time, amount of nitrogen needed for 50 liters of water or gasoline to be frozen?

I am just asking if it is possible to built tank (with double sides) with nozzles for compressed nitorgen inside and if gasoline would be frozen and in what time if tank capacity is 50 litres. I need approximate quantity of nitrogen and time in which it would do the job.
It might seem like silly and obvious question but I must ask it because my next step depends on it.
Exact answer would be much appriciated.

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'Highway: Deriving speed from Doppler shift'

I passed a motorcycle on the highway going the opposite direction. I know I was doing 125/km/h. I estimated that the frequency of his motor dropped by an entire octave, so that's a doubling of the wavelength. My intuition is telling me that's extremely unlikely. I can't actually calculate how fast he was going with just that information, can I? It seems to me, I have to know the absolute frequency of one of those tones, either shifted up or down or unshifted, yes? I tried to mimic the...
