Liquid Oxygen

AI Thread Summary

Oxygen can be removed from a liquid using argon gas by leveraging the principles of gas solubility and partial pressure. As argon is introduced, it displaces oxygen, leading to a gradual reduction in the dissolved oxygen levels. The effectiveness of this method is influenced by the temperature of the liquid, as gas solubility varies with temperature changes. While this approach is feasible, its cost-effectiveness compared to other methods remains uncertain. Overall, using argon for oxygen removal is a viable technique, but further evaluation of its efficiency and cost is necessary.

I suppose so. The amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is just a function of temperature so if you add enough argon and remove any gas the partial pressure of oxygen will gradually reduce as it is dilluted out. Not sure if this is the cheapest/most effective method.

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...

Thread 'Is Gravity an entropic property like Surface Tension'

Why do two separately floating objects in a liquid "attract" each other ?? What if gravity is an emergent property like surface tension ? What if they both are essentially trying to *minimize disorder at the interfaces — where non-aligned polarized particles are forced to mix with each other* What if gravity is an emergent property that is trying to optimize the entropy emerging out of spin aligned quantum bits
