Physics can explain this?

True, but there is more to it...
No, at least, not always.

Not true with all liquids.

Different liquids, depending on their properties, will react differently to pressure. Sodas and beers will remain unfrozen while under pressure, but once the pressure is taken away, it could present an "instant" freeze effect. Engine coolant, on the other hand, is designed to have an increased boiling point while under pressure. The coolant system as a whole operates under pressure, and the pressure increases the boiling point so it wont present bubbles in the system. Take the pressure away, the coolant will boil nearly instantly.

Well yea, but he was only asking about his NOS drink which is a majority water and that is how water be haves //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

We have a waterjet, and it is not like that. High pressure and sand actually. I want to say 30,000psi

wow

bet it leaves a beautiful cutline........

Yeah, as said liquid expands when frozen. Maybe just not having room to expand keeps it from freezing. Some liquids are weird. Like how they can instantly freeze when uncapped and agitated.



Also weird how you can microwave water, then as soon as its agitated (something added like sugar/coffee) it explodes into a boil.

Is it really that simple? More pressure prevents freezing?

It can also prevent boiling, like in a car radiator.

Exact same effect. I am actually taking Thermodynamics right now and this is exactly what the courses is all about.

I'll post some pics sometime.

i had that happen and didnt know that it would happen

ruined my morning for sure....

is that the one you were getting pwnd by, that you made a thread for to complain about said pwnage?

i was supposed to take that when my major was ME, but I think i'm switching it to IT

No, I am doing quite well in Thermo, got a 92 on the first test, class average was a 69.

Water by itself will not boil, but it can reach and exceed boiling temperatures. As soon as you introduce any contaminate to it it will instantly boil.

Kind of the same way that pure (distilled) water will NOT conduct electricity. But as soon as any contaminant is introduced to it, it will.

Completely different reasons for the 2 actually. To conduct, water needs ions, not all contaminants add ions. To boil water needs nucleation sites, not all contaminants add nucleation sites, but they could make the water conductive.

Hence why he said "kind of".

He was merely pointing out the similarity that "something" else is needed for either to happen. Not that the "something" was exactly the same in each instance.

EDIT: NM, he also used absolute wording "any" in his explanation of both.

Carry on.

Ok, on second read I see that's what he meant, I thought he was implying that they both were the same.

You would really be amazed at what happens when a paint can full of water accidentally falls into a 200ton capacity electro-arc furnace @3000 degrees F. Seen it first hand at a steel mill, lets just say its "unpleasant".
