PoisonedPrisonPanda, in best time of my life!!
Shave_MyBeever, in pssssss

This would be what we called a “gas pack” - which I think was a brand name, it’s been a while.

What I would have considered a ‘dewer’ was a vessel meant to hold cryogenic liquid that was not under pressure, basically a thermos of any number of sizes. And then there are these large vessels that can hold pressure. Some are only meant to have minimal pressure, because the user is interested in the cryogenic liquid inside, so the pressure is like less than 20psi if memory serves. The unit that is being referred to in this post was the aforementioned ‘gas pack’ that has an extra set of tubing that is wrapped in a around the inner of two vessels, so that liquid can gasify due to the heat exchange effect this coil provides, and allow this gas to be used by the customer. These are usually vented around 250psi, again if memory serves, so that the vessel doesn’t explode, ha ha. You can keep it from venting by isolating this gasification line, but that also reduces the convenience. It’d probably be best to store the vessel in a temperature controlled location to minimize the the chance of overpressurization.

I’m bored at work, if you couldn’t tell.

Zink,

I used to work at a place that used a lot of nitrogen gas in manufacturing processes, as an inert control for sensors and stuff.

I don’t know how much pressure the big tank held, but there was a bunch of heat exchanger plumbing outside with a ton of ice around the first section.

Shave_MyBeever,

It may have been a pump that would send the liquid to the heat exchanger. This is the way they fill the high pressure gas cylinders.

Zink,

In this case, the nitrogen gas was plumbed directly from the big tank & heat exchanger to the various points of use.

Shave_MyBeever,

Gotcha.

Be the comp sci researcher who writes their code on paper and has someone else compile it because they don’t know how to use the things

Congratulations on completing your Druid training.

It’s like that everywhere lol. Once you’re the “computer person” expect to be the resident IT person for the rest of your time there, whether it be academia, industry, or family.

I once had to coach a coworker on how to attach a PDF to an email…

Why have teet at the front then?

Front teeth grab prey. The inner jaws grab it again and pull it back to help it swallow large prey.

Better not do it again, or pretty much nothing will happen.

I have a pair that nest just behind me every year. Its awesome watching them hunt.

SpaceNoodle,

That must be terrifying, to have a mating pair of raptors constantly at your rear. I’d be scared to turn around.

Humans fly faster

don,

Well yeah, we have bigger wings

ininewcrow, (edited )
@ininewcrow@lemmy.ca avatar

With modern tech and ingenuity yes … much much faster.

But a naked human … fastest recorded running speed is 44.7 kph (27.7 mph) … but in flight, or free fall can reach a stabilized controlled terminal velocity of 193 kph (120 mph) and a maximum controlled streamlined terminal velocity of 500 kph (310 mph)

sciencefacts.net/terminal-velocity-of-a-human.htm…

butter,

I bet a naked human is faster than a naked falcon

Depends on the temperature.

CyberTailor,

expected monty python

hansl,

Since gravity isn’t affected by weight, they’d both be the same speed, no?

general_kitten,

but larger things have larger mass to area ratio so larger things experience less drag per weight thus resulting in higher terminal velocity

hansl, (edited )

yes, but supposing a perfectly spherical falcon…

That’s the fastest animal above earth, silly

If we count diving then one of the animals that returned from orbital experiments would make the peregrine look like a sloth on ludes by comparison.

wildginger,

Nah, have to be without equipment since 1998, and the whole “rocket snail” incident. Banned any support items after that

SirDankbud, in Its diving speed during flight is more than 300 km (186 miles) per hour, making it not only the world’s fastest bird but also the world’s fastest animal.

Well since they can’t reach that speed without being in the air, technically they’re the fastest animals OFF Earth.

DragonTypeWyvern,

Planets are typically understood to include the atmosphere.

You wouldn’t look at Jupiter and say, “well it’s not really that big, there’s just a bunch of a clouds in the way,” right?

So the peregrines are on Earth, but not on earth.

SirDankbud,

Sorry, didn’t realize I needed a /s for something so clearly sarcastic

DragonTypeWyvern, (edited )

If you knew the difference between Earth and earth your joke just sucked.

Anticorp,

I wish we could see the center of Jupiter. Is there any land down there?

DragonTypeWyvern,

The Juno mission says “probably, but whatever is going on is weird af” and the current explanations are way above my head.

I think they still mostly assume there’s a rocky core, somewhere.

Anticorp,

I wonder what magnitude of pressure exists on the surface, if there is such thing. It must be molten from the extreme pressure and gravity. Right?

Tlaloc_Temporal,
@Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca avatar

Have you seen supercritical water and/or helium? The “surface” of Jupiter is probably supercritical hydrogen. I don’t know if there’s a sharp cutoff like Earth’s oceans or a gradual thickening, but it’s still only half the density of water. It’s possible to build a boat for that!

However, the pressure would be around half a million bar, or 500 times the pressure of the deepest part of the ocean. This is also 5× the pressure used to make synthetic diamods too, and probably about the same temperature too. If the boat had any grease left outside, it would be diamond grease at this point.

If you went further down to where the density increases to about the same as water at sea level, the pressure would quadruple to nearly the same as Earth’s core, and the temperature would be about the same too. At this pressure, there’s probably another indistinct boundary of metallic hydrogen, and if the boat has survived the ultra-high-pressure hydrogen embrittlement, the steel-liquifying temperatures, and diamond rain, this metallic hydrogen will almost certainly reduce it to a lump of novel metal hydrides.

Anticorp,

Thanks for the response! That was very helpful.
