Not cold enough for the saturated gas above the liquid in the cartridge to
drive pellets in CO2 guns or cannons. Used in trench mortars since 1914-18.

· If I flash expand the 8 g liquid/gaseous CO2 in an evacuated 1 L
bottle by puncturing the cartridge (cartridge and bottle at 20°C prior to
the expansion) what will the gas temperature and pressure be in the bottle?



I don't think you will get 'gas' out of that. The latent heat of evaporation
of CO2 is 574J/g, and the specific heat is on the order of .85 J/gK, so it's
going to be very cold indeed. It's going to be snowing in the bottle.

· If I flash expand the 8 g of CO2 in a cartridge in 1 L of water
(cartridge and water at 20°C prior to expansion) in a 1.2 L bottle, how much
will the 1 L water (now soda) temperature drop in °C immediately after?
Next, what will the ullage gas CO2 pressure be immediately after and after
it heating up to 20°C again?



My 3rd question depends on the response I get.



Thanks,



jd
