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 'The Effect of Linear and Rotational Motion on Measured Weight'

Consider an extremely long and perfectly calibrated scale. A car with a mass of 1000 kg is placed on it, and the scale registers this weight accurately. Now, suppose the car begins to move, reaching very high speeds. Neglecting air resistance and rolling friction, if the car attains, for example, a velocity of 500 km/h, will the scale still indicate a weight corresponding to 1000 kg, or will the measured value decrease as a result of the motion? In a second scenario, imagine a person with a...

Thread 'Does Poisson's equation hold due to vector potential cancellation?'

Imagine that two charged particles, with charge ##+q##, start at the origin and then move apart symmetrically on the ##+y## and ##-y## axes due to their electrostatic repulsion. The ##y##-component of the retarded Liénard-Wiechert vector potential at a point along the ##x##-axis due to the two charges is $$ \begin{eqnarray*} A_y&=&\frac{q\,[\dot{y}]_{\mathrm{ret}}}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 c^2[(x^2+y^2)^{1/2}+y\dot{y}/c]_{\mathrm{ret}}}\tag{1}\\...
