Liquid Nitrogen
Liquid nitrogen (LN2) is nitrogen in a liquid state at cryogenics, low temperature. Liquid nitrogen has a boiling point of about . It is produced industrially by fractional distillation of liquid air. It is a colorless, mobile liquid whose viscosity is about one-tenth that of acetone (i.e. roughly one-thirtieth that of water at room temperature). Liquid nitrogen is widely used as a coolant. Physical properties The diatomic character of the N2 molecule is retained after liquefaction. The weak van der Waals interaction between the N2 molecules results in little interatomic attraction. This is the cause of nitrogen's unusually low boiling point. The temperature of liquid nitrogen can readily be reduced to its freezing point by placing it in a vacuum chamber pumped by a vacuum pump. Liquid nitrogen's efficiency as a coolant is limited by the fact that it boils immediately on contact with a warmer object, enveloping the object in an insulating layer of nitrogen gas bubbles.

Raviolli
Ravioli (; : ''raviolo'', ) are a type of stuffed pasta comprising a filling enveloped in thin pasta dough. Usually served in broth or with a sauce, they originated as a traditional food in Italian cuisine. Ravioli are commonly square, though other forms are also used, including circular and semi-circular ('' mezzelune''). Ravioli appear in the 14th-century cookbook ''The Forme of Cury'' under the name of ''rauioles''. Etymology English and French borrowed the word ''ravioli'' from Italian in the 14th century. The ultimate origin of the word is uncertain. It is sometimes connected to the northern Italian word ''rava'', 'turnip', supposing that the filling was made of turnips, but the earliest recipes, even Lenten ones, do not include turnips. Another theory connects it to a kind of cheese (related to modern Italian ''robiola''), but that also appears unlikely. History Ravioli are mentioned in the personal letters of Francesco Datini, a merchant of Prato in the 14th century.Dav ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
