If you are asking how much pressure you would have to compress methane to in order to liquify it at room temperature, the answer is that methane won't liquify at room temperature. The critical temperature for methane is -87.2 degrees centigrade. Above that temperature it will not liquify no matter how much pressure you apply. At -82.7 degrees centigrade it would take a pressure of 45.96 bar to get it to liquify. See: http://www.chem.purdue.edu/gchelp/liquids/critical.html

Does a steam trap remove condensate?

water receives heat to become vapour thus carrying energy . water is mainly used because it is plentiful and has very high latent heat of vapourisation which absorbs a hell lot of heat during evaporation. here heat energy is converted into pressure energy during heating formation of steam and then expanded in turbines or let out to get kinetic energy as the output.


Is CH4 liquid at room temp?

No, methane (CH4) is a gas at room temperature and pressure. It needs to be cooled to very low temperatures (-161.5°C) to become a liquid.


What is hydrocarbon gas?

An example of a hydrocarbon is methane. Like all hydrocarbons, it is composed entirely of hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbons are used for fuel. When burned in combination with oxygen, hydrocarbons give off energy in the form of heat while combining with the oxygen to become carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

Why rubidium is an example of a Bose-Einstein condensate?

Rubidium in itself is not an example of a Bose-Einstein condensate. The Bose-Einstein condensate is the fifth state of matter. Bose-Einstein condensate is a state of matter that only exists near absolute zero (zero degrees Kelvin) temperatures. Currently Rubidium is one of the only materials that scientists have caused to become a Bose-Einstein condensate. So Rubidium isn't an example of a Bose-Einstein condensate, its just an element that has been able to change state and become a Bose-Einstein condensate. Another one is Neutron star wich is the dead remains of a star that has exploded as a supernova. It is like a giant, dense, heavy nucleus of mostly neurons.


What are Examples of flammable gases?

Several gases are flammable like hydrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, silane, germane, etc.hydrogenFlammable gases are those that become explosive when they are mixed in the right proportions of air. These gases include ethylene, hydrogen, methane and butane.


Why men floats in the surface of water after death?

Any bacteria living inside of the body, i.e. those in the gut are anaerobic. After death they quickly spread out of the gut and colonize the rest of the body. Without any air or oxygen, they take big hydrocarbons, and derive energy by making them into single carbon elements, methane, which the bacteria release. The methane gas released by the bacteria which will cause the body to swell up and become buoyant.


Why does cracking turn a mixture of liquids from crude oil into mixture of gases?

That's not QUITE what it does, or at least it's not ALL of what it does. For similar compounds, in general, lighter molecules boil - that is, become a gas - at a lower temperature than heavier ones. "Cracking" is the process of splitting large, heavy molecules into smaller, lighter ones. Because they are lighter, they boil at a lower temperature, and so will become gases when the heavier starting material would still be a liquid.


How do you stop your central AC from dripping water in the return air vent?

The condensate pan is probably unlevel and running over into your duct. Another possibility is that the drain pipe or hose has become clogged with dust or has been kinked, preventing condensate from draining properly.


What is the real definition of unsaturated hydrocarbons?

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons which contain one or more double carbon bonds in the chemical structure. They can become saturated hydrocarbons in the event of chemical reactions which change the structure to have only single carbon bonds - for example this occurs to an extent when unsatured cooking oil becomes saturated during cooking and becomes more solid, saturated in content.
