So, currently we have some suggestions for the theme:
Nitrogen (the actual chemical element from the periodic table)
Balance (or equilbrium)
Nitrogen > Life
Ice
Looking forward to read any other useful idea.
Let your fantasy run.
But please, consider:
- simple, and easy to satisfy (last challenge didn’t get many submissions because the theme was not the simplest one to fulfill… )
- be kind, do not publish images to this topic, please use the one I split right now - or any other already in place - in order to avoid further mess.
Thermal effects of rapidly expanding gas
When gas expands, the decrease in pressure causes the molecules to slow down. This makes the gas cold.
The Ideal Gas Law states pV = nRT, where P = The pressure of the gas in Pa, V = Volume of gas in m3, n = Number of moles of gas, R = A constant of about 8.314 and T = Temperature in K.
As a gas (like air) expands, the value of V increases and this has the effect of increasing T (The temperature). As the energy needed to increase it’s temperature must be supplied from somewhere, the gas takes the energy from the surrounding system giving the effect of cooling. This is a principle used in refrigeration.
Nitrogen is used in soft drink production to give the container firmness when CO2 is not used in the microblend.
with out this firmness you can not label the container nor stack the containers for shipment.
the nitrogen is injected into the beverage after the container is filled but before it is sealed , the Nitrogen
expands rapidly at ROOM temperature . This was the point of the statement , and another example of
how nitrogen is used , in reference to " what do you think of when one thinks of Nitrogen" .
