Oxygen stored on an airplane is generally not stored as a liquid, but as a highly pressurized gas. The oxygen system is commonly pressurized to more than 1800 psi, allowing a large amount of gas stored in a very small space. The pressures involved require a very robust container, and so it often looks like a bottle that you would use to contain liquids.
However, emergency ambulance helicopters will often use a system which stores the oxygen as a liquid. This is done to save on weight and space as liquid oxygen containers can hold much more oxygen in a much thinner container. The hazards involved in preparing, storing, and carrying liquid oxygen makes it inappropriate for every-day use in civilian aircraft.
What else can I help you with?
Why do you store oxygen gas in the liquid form?
Because oxygen takes up much less space for the same amount of oxygen as a liquid rather than a gas.
What is cheaper liquid oxygen or luquid liquid hydrogen?
Liquid oxygen is typically cheaper than liquid hydrogen because oxygen is more readily available and easier to produce. Liquid hydrogen, on the other hand, requires more energy-intensive processes for production and storage, making it more expensive.
Is liquid oxygen safer than gas oxygen?
no liquid oxygen is super cold and u can maybe even die if u touch it
How many percent of people use powder detergent rather than liquid?
Approximately 70% of people use powder detergent rather than liquid detergent.
What happens to oxygen at -250 degrees celsius?
At -250 degrees Celsius, oxygen would exist as a cryogenic liquid rather than a gas. Its physical properties would be altered, such as having a higher density and slower molecular movement.
What is Active data?
Data that is currently available to be used. The program has it stored where it can readily get at it rather than having it stored out of easy reach.
Why is oxygen transported as a liquid instead of a gas in a rocket ship?
Oxygen is transported as a liquid in a rocket ship because liquid oxygen is more dense and takes up less space than gaseous oxygen, allowing for more efficient storage in the limited space of a rocket. Additionally, liquid oxygen is more stable and easier to control during the combustion process in the rocket engine.
Why is liquid nitrogen used to fast freeze food instead of liquid oxygen?
There are two reasons. First, liquid nitrogen is colder than liquid oxygen and thus more effective at flash freezing. Second, liquid oxygen is a fire hazard; it creates an atmosphere of pure oxygen that allows substances to burn more easily. Nitrogen does not support combustion.
How can you get liquid oxygen using liquid nitrogen?
Liquid nitrogen is colder than liquid oxygen. You use the liquid nitrogen to chill the oxygen in the air and liquid oxygen will form. Liquid water and dry Ice (CO2) should also form due to their presence as well, but not in large quantity. WARNING!! High concentrations of oxygen should be considered dangerous. When exposed to a small ignition source, it can cause flammable materials to combust much like an explosion, and will cause normally non flammable materials to burn readily. Human flesh burns better than wood after being exposed to 100% oxygen for a period of time. Please be careful.
Why is couugh syrup thick rather than a liquid?
Each liquid has another composition and consequently another properties.
How does a rocket carry oxygen?
Rockets typically carry oxygen as part of a liquid oxidizer, such as liquid oxygen (LOX). The LOX is stored in tanks onboard the rocket and then combined with a fuel (such as liquid hydrogen) in the combustion chamber to produce thrust. This reaction generates the propulsion needed to lift the rocket into space.
Define lenses of liquid?
A liquid lens is one where, rather than solid glass or plastic, the light is refracted through a liquid substance.
