Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is usually pumped as a liquid, usually below 5Â°C (41Â°F) and a pressure of about 50 bar. The solvent is pumped as a liquid as it is then almost incompressible; if it was pumped as a supercritical fluid, much of the pump stroke would be used up in compressing the fluid, rather than pumping it.
Lice can live up to a month and can lay up to 10 eggs a day. An egg takes 7-10 days to hatch. A nymph is a baby louse. A nymph takes 7-10 days to mature into an adult louse. Only adults can lay eggs. The dark brown eggs are the newly laid eggs.
Three forms of head lice exist: nits, nymphs, and mature adults. Nits are lice eggs that attach to the hair shaft and usually hatch within a week. The microscopic eggs are easy to mistake for dandruff or residue from hair styling products. Once the eggs hatch, lice are known as nymphs, an immature form of the parasite that is grayish tan in color. After nine to 12 days the nymphs mature into adults, the average size of which is roughly 2â3 millimeters, or about the size of a sesame seed.
