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 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
