You can stick your hand into a thing of molten lead if your hand is wet.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:Last I checked, steam burns are a bitch. Steam burns are from steam condensing on your skin and releasing a bunch of energy as it transitions to water. This is the exact opposite of that process, where all that energy turns the water into steam preventing it from reaching your skin. This is the same effect that someone already linked (Leidenfrost effect) that causes water drops to "float" around in a hot skillet. The bottom of the drop flashes to steam and that steam prevents the rest of the water from touching the pan. Steam is largely air so it conducts heat much more poorly than liquid water does. This process is also a major issue in nuclear reactors, depending on the type. If you have a boiling water reactor you want some amount of boiling but not so much that you create large steam pockets around the fuel, which is called boiling crisis. It's technically possible to get boiling in a pressurized water reactor, but much harder and any boiling in one of those is a crisis, not just beyond nucleate boiling.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:Okay, but what's happening faster though? The conduction of heat through the water, or the evap-cooling effect? If your cloth is wet enough you can grab that pan, because I had this exact discussion with my father years ago and he proved me wrong by soaking the towel more. If its just damp, that's bad.

The savvy network technician carries a short length of cable when traveling. If they should become lost, bury the cable and wait. When the backhoe arrives to dig it up, ask the operator for a ride. http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/F/fiber-seeking-backhoe.html Platystemon fucked around with this message at 05:17 on Mar 9, 2017 |

The cable cling wrap condom is talking about is fuse jointed, which means its put into a big mechanical contraption and humans arnt exposed to the unsheathed fibres. For a tech to get it stuck in thier arm

TIL the reccomended coolants for machining plutonium are carbon tetrachloride or Freon-113. Why yes, CCl will start a plutonium-chlorine fire if it gets too hot. Safety procedure: Don't do that. Anything containing hydrogen atoms creates a criticality hazard and volatile solvents are preferred because why worry about filtering plutonium out of gallons of whatever when you can just let it evaporate from a one-pass open loop? That book also has an entire chapter about welding plutonium and I don't even want to think about how that data was collected.

I don't know much about plutonium, but my guess is that if you are around when it catches fire, your life is about to get fairly complicated.

It actually does have venom, the study everyone based their claims on all these years got it wrong. Nobody thought to challenge the conclusions until a group of scientists realised there was a mistake in the methodology and decided to do their own tests.

No more so than if any other metal catches fire, probably. The process is the same: Run. Maybe a bit faster because this metal is slightly radioactive?
