I would think not. The temperature differential could fracture the fuel rods, and you don't want that.

What is the difference between nitrogen in the atmosphere and liquid nitrogen?

Liquid nitrogen is made by taking in air from the atmosphere and compressing and cooling it. Once it is cool enough, it forms a liquid. This liquid contains argon, oxygen and nitrogen. These elements are then separated and sold as a commodity. The temperature is the only difference.


What state is nitrogen at -300C?

It is not possible to cool nitrogen to −300 °C Nitrogen is a liquid at −196 °C


Is liquid nitrogen boiling in a refrigerator a physical or chemical change?

It is a physical change, a change in phase from liquid to gas (evaporation). The nitrogen is chemically the same at the lower liquid temperature, but has some different properties because of its ability to absorb heat. If you cool the nitrogen gas , it will turn liquid again.


Can you use liquid nitrogen to cool your drinks?

Why do you use helium to super-cool magnets and why not use liquid nitrogen?

Liquid nitrogen is not cold enough to supercool some superconducting magnets to make that magnet's superconductive properties emerge. It takes something like liquid helium to do that.


Can liquid nitrogen be used for cooling your house?

Yes, liquid nitrogen can be used to cool air passed through a heat exchanger. It is however a once through system. You would need a tank to hold the liquid nitrogen, and have more delivered every so often. very expensive.


Why is it an advantage to transport nitrogen as a liquid rather than as a compressed gas?

The key to storing nitrogen as a liquid is that we need to compress and cool the nitrogen to cause it to change state from a gas to a liquid. By doing this, we can store a lot of nitrogen in a small volume compared to trying to store it as a gas.


Does liquid nitrogen Sublimate?

Liquid nitrogen is not dry ice. Dry ice is a solid form of carbon dioxide and liquid nitrogen is pure nitrogen in liquid form. Dry ice is frozen nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen is also frozen nitrogen, but is also pressurized. That's why it's in large, steel boxes. Chur.
