Liquid oxygen is used as an oxidizer of hydrogen, but oxygen is not, strictly speaking, a fuel.

Liquid oxygen is attracted to a magnet to a sufficient extent that, in laboratory demonstrations, a bridge of liquid oxygen may be supported against its own weight between the poles of a powerful magnet.

Liquid hydrogen and oxygen were also used in the Space Shuttle to run the fuel cells that power the electrical systems.

Liquid nitrogen may be produced for direct sale, or as a byproduct of manufacture of liquid oxygen used for industrial processes such as steelmaking.

Liquid oxygen — abbreviated LOx, LOX or Lox in the aerospace, submarine and gas industries — is one of the physical forms of elemental oxygen.

Liquid oxygen has a pale blue color and is strongly paramagnetic and can be suspended between the poles of a powerful horseshoe magnet.

Liquid oxygen has a density of 1. 141 g / cm < sup > 3 </ sup > ( 1. 141 kg / L ) and is cryogenic with a freezing point of 50. 5 K (− 368. 77 ° F ; − 222. 65 ° C ) and a boiling point of 90. 19 K (− 297. 33 ° F, − 182. 96 ° C ) at 101. 325 kPa ( 760 mmHg ).

Liquid oxygen has an expansion ratio of 1: 861 at 20 ° C ( 68 ° F ); and because of this, it is used in some commercial and military aircraft as a source of breathing oxygen.

Liquid oxygen is also a very powerful oxidizing agent: organic materials will burn rapidly and energetically in liquid oxygen.

Liquid nitrogen has a lower boiling point at − 196 ° C ( 77 K ) than oxygen's − 183 ° C ( 90 K ), and vessels containing liquid nitrogen can condense oxygen from air: when most of the nitrogen has evaporated from such a vessel there is a risk that liquid oxygen remaining can react violently with organic material.

Liquid oxygen is a common liquid oxidizer propellant for spacecraft rocket applications, usually in combination with liquid hydrogen or kerosene.

Liquid oxygen is useful in this role because it creates a high specific impulse.

Liquid oxygen was also used in some early ICBMs, although more modern ICBMs do not use liquid oxygen because its cryogenic properties and need for regular replenishment to replace boiloff make it harder to maintain and launch quickly.

In the construction industry a specialised proprietary adhesive known as Liquid Nails ( or liquid nails as the generic ), is used.

Liquid ink electrostatic printer use a chemical coated paper, which is charged by the print head according to the image of the document.

Liquid water has continuous translational symmetry, which is broken in crystalline ice.

Liquid " compost tea " is drained once or twice a week and can be diluted 1: 100 and added to plants as fertilizer, and is safe to pour down the sewer for disposal.

Liquid chromatography ( LC ) is a separation technique in which the mobile phase is a liquid.

Liquid nitrogen is the most commonly used element in cryogenics and is legally purchasable around the world.

Liquid helium is also commonly used and allows for the lowest attainable temperatures to be reached.

Liquid mal-distribution is more frequently the problem than vapor.

Liquid in the Cassie – Baxter state is more mobile than in the Wenzel state.

Liquid and gaseous biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel ( a form of diesel fuel that is produced from crops that yield triglycerides such as soybean oil ), can also be used.

Liquid water is densest, essentially 1. 00 g / cm³, at 4 ° C and becomes less dense as the water molecules begin to form the hexagonal crystals of ice as the freezing point is reached.

* 1973 – Catastrophic BLEVE ( Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion ) in Kingman, Arizona, following a fire that broke out as propane is being transferred from a railroad car to a storage tank, kills 11 firefighters.

The Liquid Crystal Display is intrinsically a “ passive ” device, it is a simple light valve.

Liquid crystal in fluid form is used to detect electrically generated hot spots for failure analysis in the semiconductor industry.

Jonathan Smeeton is a British lighting designer who has also worked under the name of Liquid Len.

Liquid malt extract is a thick syrup.

Liquid nitrogen, a fluid resembling water in appearance, but with 80. 8 % of the density ( the density of liquid nitrogen at its boiling point is 0. 808 g / mL ), is a common cryogen.

Liquid fuel lanterns remain popular where the fuel ( see portable stove for a discussion on fuel ) is easily obtained and is in common use.

Liquid fats from all these oilseeds enter into the manufacture of soaps for industry and the household and of glycerin for such industrial uses as making explosives.

* Liquid to solid cycle ( Frost heaving — water changing from ice to liquid and back again can lift rock up to 60 cm.

The origins and the complex history of liquid crystal displays from the perspective of an insider during the early days were described by Joseph A. Castellano in Liquid Gold: The Story of Liquid Crystal Displays and the Creation of an Industry.

Liquid helium in a superfluid phase creeps up on the walls of the cup in a Rollin film, eventually dripping out from the cup.

* Advanced suits better regulate the astronaut's temperature with a Liquid Cooling Garment in contact with the astronaut's skin, from which the heat is dumped into space through an external radiator in the PLSS.

The remainder of this book is Ojo's quest through Oz to retrieve the five components of an antidote to the Liquid: a six-leaved clover found only in the Emerald City, three hairs from the tip of a Woozy's tail, a gill ( a quarter of a pint ) of water from a dark well ( one that remains untouched by natural light ), a drop of oil from a live man's body, and the left wing of a yellow butterfly.

The 2009 Melbourne Winter Masterpieces exhibition was titled " Salvador Dalí Liquid Desire " and ran from 13 June to 4 October 2009.
