A bubble chamber is a vessel filled with a superheated transparent liquid used to detect radiation moving through it. It was invented in 1952 by Donald A. Glaser, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize In Physics in 1960.

What type of instrument is a Particle Counter?

A particle counter is a scientific instrument that detects and counts particles using light and imaging techniques. The particle counter is used in 3 main applications which are aerosol, liquid and solid.


Is refrigerant superheated when leaving the evaporator?

Refrigerant is superheated when leaving the evaporator so that the compressor is not getting liquid along with the gas, becauseÊliquid can cause damage the compressor.


What is a device that uses a superheated liquid to detect radioactive particles?

A liquid scintillation counter is a device that uses a superheated liquid to detect radioactive particles. These particles interact with the liquid, producing light flashes that can be measured to determine the level of radioactivity.


Why are boiling chips placed in distilling flask?

Because glass is very smooth, it is difficult for bubbles to nucleate on the surface. Boiling chips are added to provide a good surface for nucleation and vaporization of the liquid is more or less steady and continuous. Without them, the liquid can become superheated and boil somewhat explosively with superheated metastable regions of the liquid undergoing homogenous nucleation in the bulk of the liquid and rapidly expanding. Evaporation of the liquid occurs in somewhat random violent bursts.


Can water withstand above100 degrees in liquid state celsius?

Easily at high pressures. This idea is behind superheated steam boilers.


What is a direct expansion evaporator?

Refrigerant enters a direct expansion evaporator as a saturated liquid vapor mix and leaves as a superheated vapor.


Can radiation travel through a liquid?

it depends on the type of radiation alpha ((type of)nuclear radiation) can't travel through it for very long Infra red (heat) can but is absorbed by the particles in the water as it goes


Why superheated steam in distillation column?

Superheated steam is often used in a distillation column to provide efficient heat transfer for the separation process. The high temperature of the superheated steam helps to vaporize the liquid components being distilled while maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the column. This can improve the overall separation efficiency and allow for better control of the distillation process.


Radiation require a heated liquid to transfer energy?

Radiation does not require a medium like a heated liquid to transfer energy. Radiation can transfer energy through electromagnetic waves, such as light or infrared radiation, and can travel through a vacuum. Heat transfer by radiation relies on the emission and absorption of electromagnetic waves between objects.

Is superheated steam suitable for air heaters instead of saturated steam?

No, superheated steam gives off little energy. Most of the heat given off by steam is the latent heat of condensation as it undergoes a phase change from vapor to liquid. Superheated steam could first be "desuperheated" by adding water until it reaches the saturation point, then used for heat transfer processes.
