Liquid metal embrittlement to the fire was caused by the failure of a heat exchanger (cold box) inlet nozzle in the liquids recovery plant. The failure of the inlet nozzle was due to liquid metal embrittlement of the train B aluminium cold box by elemental mercury. Liquid metal embrittlement plays a central role in the novel "Killer Instinct" by Joseph Finder. In the film "Big Hero 6", Honey Lemon, voiced by Genesis Rodriguez, uses liquid metal embrittlement in her lab. Liquid metal embrittlement Liquid metal embrittlement, also known as liquid metal induced embrittlement, is a phenomenon of practical importance, where certain ductile metals
Liquid-liquid critical point a higher percentage of HDL exists while below the critical pressure a higher percentage of LDL is present. The ratio "r" = LDL/(LDL + HDL) of phase amounts is determined according to the thermodynamic equilibrium of the system, which is often governed by external variables such as pressure and temperature. A discontinuity is present in "r" when crossing the liquid-liquid phase transition, which separates the LDL-rich phase from the LDL-poor phase. At any point of the liquid-liquid phase transition, including the associated liquid-liquid critical point, the ratio of LDL to HDL is exactly one ("r" = ½). The liquid-liquid critical
