Liquid nitrogen droplet evaporation in liquids

Liquid nitrogen is extensively used in electronics, metal processing and food industries where it is regasified using ambient air vaporisers before being used. The current interest is to utilize the cold thermal energy stored in liquid nitrogen that is otherwise lost to the ambient during the regasification process...read more
