  2. Freezing air temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing_air_temperature

    Freezing[ 1] or frost occurs when the air temperature falls below the freezing point of water (0 °C, 32 °F, 273 K ). This is usually measured at the height of 1.2 metres above the ground surface. There exist some scales defining several degrees of frost severity (from "slight" to "very severe") but they depend on location thus the usual ...

  3. Dry ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_ice

    The density of dry ice increases with decreasing temperature and ranges between about 1.55 and 1.7 g/cm 3 (97 and 106 lb/cu ft) below 195 K (−78 °C; −109 °F). [3] The low temperature and direct sublimation to a gas makes dry ice an effective coolant, since it is colder than water ice and leaves no residue as it changes state. [4]

  4. Liquid hydrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_hydrogen

    Liquid hydrogen ( H2(l)) is the liquid state of the element hydrogen. Hydrogen is found naturally in the molecular H 2 form. [ 4] To exist as a liquid, H 2 must be cooled below its critical point of 33 K. However, for it to be in a fully liquid state at atmospheric pressure, H 2 needs to be cooled to 20.28 K (−252.87 °C; −423.17 °F). [ 5]

  5. Liquid carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_carbon_dioxide

    Liquid carbon dioxide is a type of liquid which is formed from highly compressed and cooled gaseous carbon dioxide. It does not form under atmospheric conditions. It only exists when the pressure is above 5.1 atm and the temperature is under 31.1 °C (88.0 °F) (temperature of critical point) and above −56.6 °C (−69.9 °F) (temperature of ...

  6. British thermal unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_thermal_unit

    The British thermal unit ( Btu) is a measure of heat, which is a form of energy. It was originally defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. It is also part of the United States customary units. [ 1] The SI unit for energy is the joule (J); one Btu equals about 1,055 J ...

  7. Liquid oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_oxygen

    Liquid oxygen has a clear light sky-blue color and is strongly paramagnetic: it can be suspended between the poles of a powerful horseshoe magnet. [2] Liquid oxygen has a density of 1.141 kg/L (1.141 g/ml), slightly denser than liquid water, and is cryogenic with a freezing point of 54.36 K (−218.79 °C; −361.82 °F) and a boiling point of 90.19 K (−182.96 °C; −297.33 °F) at 1 bar ...

  8. Freezing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing

    Most liquids freeze by crystallization, formation of crystalline solid from the uniform liquid. This is a first-order thermodynamic phase transition, which means that as long as solid and liquid coexist, the temperature of the whole system remains very nearly equal to the melting point due to the slow removal of heat when in contact with air, which is a poor heat conductor.

    Warmer temperatures are forecast to create more of the updrafts in thunderstorms that create bigger hail, Gensini and co-authors reported. Smaller hail is projected to decrease because it’s more ...
