Density Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance. For liquid oxygen, it's typically measured in kg/m³.
Standard Value: At its boiling point (-183°C), liquid oxygen has a density of approximately 1141 kg/m³.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The mass of liquid oxygen is divided by its volume to calculate density.
Details: Knowing the density is crucial for storage, transportation, and industrial applications of liquid oxygen.
Tips: Enter the mass in kilograms and volume in cubic meters. The calculator will compute the density in kg/m³.
Q1: Why does liquid oxygen density change?
A: Density varies with temperature and pressure. The given value (1141 kg/m³) is at boiling point (-183°C).
Q2: How does this compare to gaseous oxygen?
A: Gaseous oxygen at room temperature has much lower density (~1.3 kg/m³ at 20°C).
Q3: What affects liquid oxygen density?
A: Main factors are temperature, pressure, and purity of the oxygen.
Q4: Why is this important for industrial applications?
A: Density affects storage capacity, flow rates, and system design for liquid oxygen systems.
Q5: How accurate is this calculator?
A: It provides theoretical values. For precise industrial applications, consult specific temperature/pressure tables.
