eli5 why cant you keep liquid nitrogen in a high pressure tank? even though it wants to turn to gas, at a certain pressure it just has to stay in liquid state, when you open the tank again it would just become cold again right?
In: Chemistry
It exists as a supercritical fluid at room temperature and high pressure. What are the uses of this supercritical liquid nitrogen? Who knows, probably nothing industrial.
It won’t have the same utility as a -320 F at 1 atmosphere liquid though. Hence why you see so much liquid nitrogen transported at 1 atmosphere (or there abouts).
