4C31.00Cooling by Evaporation
4C31.10cryophorousPIRA 500
4C31.10cryophorous4C31.10One end of an evacuated glass tube with bulbs at each end is put in liquid nitrogen, water in the other end will freeze.
4C31.10cryophorousHj-8One end of a tube is stuck in a cold trap and water in the other end freezes.
4C31.10cryophorousH-67Water in one end of an evacuated J tube will freeze when the other is placed in a ice-salt mixture, alcohol-dry ice mixture, or liquid air.
4C31.10cryophorusDisc 15-14Place a cryophorus in liquid nitrogen.
4C31.11cryophorousH-68Water in an evacuated sealed flask with a concave bottom freezes when it is inverted and a dry ice/alcohol mixture is placed in the concavity.
4C31.12cryophorous26-5.10A Lucite assembly for the overhead projector with an evacuated chamber holding water and an area for a dry ice/acetone mixture.

4C31.20freezing by evaporationAJP 32(11),xxiiEvacuate a chamber with water on the overheard between crossed Polaroids.
4C31.20freezing by evaporationAJP 35(9),xFor the overhead projector: make a hole for a small thermometer in the bottom of a small test tube and pump on a small amount of water.
4C31.20freezing by evaporation26-5.9Pump down some distilled water in a chamber on an overhead projector until the water freezes. Crossed Polaroids make the effect more visible.
4C31.20freezing by boilingDisc 15-13Evacuate a chamber containing a small amount of water.
4C31.21freezing by evaporationH-70Freeze water in a watch glass over a dish of sulfuric acid in a bell jar.
4C31.22freezing by evaporationH-69Freeze water in a flask by pumping through a sulfuric acid trap. Supercooling up to 10 C is possible.
4C31.30drinking birdPIRA 200Cooling causes vapor to condense, lowering the center of gravity until the bird tips, raising the c. of g.
4C31.30drinking bird4C31.30The drinking bird has a wet head which evaporates drawing liquid up his neck and tipping him over.
4C31.30drinking birdHj-7Cooling causes vapor to condense lowering the center of gravity until the bird tips.
4C31.30drinking birdDisc 15-12Standard drinking bird. Includes animation.
4C31.31CO2 cartridge coolsH-66Puncture a CO2 cartridge and the steel bulb will cool enough to form frost but there is not enough gas to produce snow.
4C31.32evaporating carbon disulfideH-64Evaporating carbon disulfide (highly inflammable and poisonous) is used to form frost.
4C31.33evaporating etherH-63Evaporating ether in a watch glass freezes a drop of water between the bottom of the glass and a cork. A method for burning off the ether is shown. Diagram.
4C31.34evaporating ethyl chlorideH-62Ethyl chloride is used to freeze water in a small dish or cool a thermometer.
4C31.35cooling by evaporation26-5.5An attached manometer shows cooling when several drops of ether are placed in a flask.
4C31.37pulse-glass engineH-73A pulse glass will oscillate when mounted in a stirrup so one side and then the other can contact a cool pad.
