Re:

Compressing a gas heats it up So a gas will heat up when getting compressed. BUT will turn into a liquid, because of the pressure. Once the pressure is released, its high temperature causes it to evaporate taking more heat around it. A drop in pressure and an increase of volume is like a sponge to ...

(Solved) gas

So if you compress a gas, it cools? That can't be right. When you put pressure on something it’s suppose to heat up. and When ammonia is compressed into a liquid at room temperature, it turns right back into a gas, by evaporating. The evaporation requires energy, which is fueled by heat. The heat is...

On a different note, it looks like battery powered cars will be what replaces gas powered cars. It’s not less fuel efficient or green because power plants will have to burn more coal to support the demand. But this is good since we could replace coal burning plants easier than every gas station and ...

I just saw Star Trek and loved every bit of it. For an action movie I'd put it up there with Gladiator, 300, or Master and Commander. It's not the same kind of show that the tv orignal was. But that's not bad because I was never a big fan. *hums startrek theme*
