Curious - question about a pressure vessel and tempreature

AI Thread Summary
When pressure decreases, temperature also decreases, which is relevant for cooling beverages like soda. To cool a can from room temperature (70 degrees) to around 40 degrees by releasing pressure, significant internal pressure is required. A density vs. temperature chart indicates that a 10-12°C temperature change corresponds to a pressure change of about 25 bar (360 psi). This suggests that achieving the desired cooling effect would necessitate a substantial amount of pressure. The discussion emphasizes curiosity about the physics involved rather than practical application or safety concerns.

I have no intention of designing, building or experimenting with this, so no worries about safety. I'm just curious and did a Google search for Physics Forums and this was the first to come up.

I was wondering, when pressure decreases so does temperature, right? So, were we to have a pop (soda for you heathens :D ) can, how much pressure would it have to have on the inside so that when the pressure was released, it would cool it down to around 40 degrees? Insta-cool beverages! Assume it's already at room temperature (70 degrees) and normal outside pressure (1atm).

I'm not really concerned with feasibility or practicality - just curious about the factuality of what would be required.

I did do a search already but the only thread that asked this kind of question was closed.

Oh wow, that means a LOT of pressure will be needed.
 
The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...
Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?
Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'
Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
