Ammonia is used on marine vessels specifically large fishing trawlers and the factory/process vessels. You won't find it used on passenger ships such as a cruise ship because due to the possibility of injuries and a lawsuit if a large leak occurred.

Is a navy ship considered American soil?

Try trespassing on US soil and then try trespassing on an aircraft carrier.... Yes, a Navy ship is considered "sovereign U.S. Territory" and hence attacking it or boarding it is considered an attack on the US itself. Although this could be considered true for navy ships of any nation being regarded as their sovereign territory. I would be unsure as to how this holds up if said ship enters another nation's territorial waters though. [Note: any military ship is considered property and part of nation it belongs to, regardless of where it is located. Thus, docking a US destroyer in a Chinese port still means that anyone on-board the destroyer is considered to be on US territory.]


Does a sunken ship sitting on the ocean floor have a buoyant force on it?

Yes, a sunken ship on the ocean floor experiences a buoyant force pushing up on it that is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the ship. This buoyant force helps to keep the ship in place on the ocean floor despite its weight.


Why ship doenot sink in ocean?

Ships don't sink in the ocean because the air pressure pushes the ship upward and keeps it buoyant-------------------------------- Ships don't sink because the overall density of the ship is lower than the density of the salt water and it displaces its weight's equivalent of water using only a portion of the ship's volume.


How does forcing air into the ballast tanks cause the ship to rise?

Action and reaction , the ship is lighter from the discharged ballast- so it will float upwards with buoyancy. One assumes you are talking about submarines. Some surface ships have trim tanks to compensate for cargo compartments not being balanced- etc. but this is not a submergence device.

What are facts about the first refrigerated ship?

The first refrigerated ship, the SS Dunedin, was launched in 1881 and pioneered the use of mechanical refrigeration for transporting perishable goods over long distances. It was designed to carry frozen meat from New Zealand to Britain, revolutionizing the global meat trade. The ship utilized a system of ammonia-based refrigeration, which allowed for better preservation of cargo and significantly reduced spoilage. This innovation marked a significant advancement in maritime transport, paving the way for modern refrigerated shipping.


Why is a circulating brine system more attractive for ship refrigeration than individual evaporators?

A circulating brine system is more attractive for ship refrigeration because it enhances efficiency by allowing a centralized cooling source to service multiple areas, reducing the need for individual evaporators. This design minimizes space requirements and maintenance needs, as fewer components are involved, leading to lower operational costs. Additionally, circulating brine can provide better temperature stability and uniform cooling throughout the ship, improving overall refrigeration performance.
