This question is dependent on the exact type of liquid. For example as it cools to freezing ice is actually less dense than liquid water. This is the reason for ice having the ability to float.

How do you make the air condenser work?

An air condenser takes in the surrounding air(at about 45-50 degree Celsius). The vapor at high pressure enters the condenser and accepts the latent heat of condensation from the hot airthereby rejecting heat to condensing coils. The vapor then becomes liquid.


What is induction pump?

Induction pump is a term used to describe any type of pump that depends on electromagnetic induction for its operation. These pumps are often used for liquid alkaline metals that are expected to reach temperatures between 800 and 1000 degrees Celsius.


Which state of matter is used in hydraulic systems?

What is liquid receiver in refrigeration system?

It is fitted on discharge line after condenser, where the gas enters in liquid forms.


What is liquid holdup in a column?

'Liquid Hold-up' in a distillation column refers to down-coming liquid (liquid traffic travelling down the column) becoming trapped in the column's packing material. Packing material is used in distillation columns to increase the contact efficiency between the down-coming liquid stream(s) and the up-flowing vapour stream(s). The packing materials do this by increasing the surface-to-volume ratio over which the vapour and liquid streams come into contact in order to promote separation between the more volatile and less volatile components in the column. The down-coming liquid can become trapped in the packing material for a number of reasons. One example is when liquid becomes trapped in crack formations or fractures of the packing material (which can occur during normal or non-steady state column operation). When the liquid becomes trapped in these cracks/crevices, contact with the up-flowing vapour stream becomes non-existent and the liquid is literally 'held up' from travelling down the column.

Would you expect to get the same value for the density of a liquid at 20 degrees Celsius and at 40 degrees Celsius?

No, the density of a liquid usually decreases as temperature increases because rising temperature causes molecules to spread out. Therefore, you would generally expect the density of a liquid to be lower at 40 degrees Celsius compared to 20 degrees Celsius.

What is the state of water at 100 degree Celsius 0 degree Celsius 4 degree Celsius?

At 100 degrees Celsius, water is in a gaseous state as steam, assuming standard atmospheric pressure. At 0 degrees Celsius, water is in a solid state as ice. At 4 degrees Celsius, water is in a liquid state and exhibits its maximum density, which is crucial for aquatic life. These states reflect the unique properties of water and its behavior across different temperatures.

Is gold at 2000 degree celsius a liquid solid or gas?

Gold melts at 1,064 degrees Celsius, so at 2,000 degrees Celsius it would still be a liquid.

What is triple point water?

The triple point of water is zero degree Celsius this is because 1)zero degree Celsius is the melting point of ice. 2)water changes from liquid to solid in zero degree Celsius.
