Why is it that when ice is put into a deep fryer it essentially erupts?
In: 57
A kilogram of ice takes up a certain amount of space. A kilogram of water takes up approximately the same amount of space. A kilogram of steam, which ice will VERY quickly become in very hot oil, will be a volume of about 1600 times that of ice. So this rapid attempt at expansion is pretty violent and turbulent, causing the chaos that you would see.
