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
Degree (temperature) Degree (temperature) The term degree is used in several scales of temperature. The symbol ° is usually used, followed by the initial letter of the unit, for example “°C” for degree(s) Celsius. A degree can be defined as a set change in temperature measured against a given scale, for example, one degree Celsius is one hundredth of the temperature change between the point at which water starts to change state from solid to liquid state and the point at which it starts to change from its gaseous state to liquid. Common scales of temperature measured in degrees: Other scales of
