If I put liquid nitrogen in my liquid cooler will it work?

>>56296784
In a liquid cooling loop? No, it will probably blow up.

>>56296784
no it will broke

Don't do it, causes nerve gas

>>56296784
It would be extremely painful

>>56296784
It will literally explode.

OP recently died. Dont expect a reply.

>>56296784
From the replies so far it's obvius nobody knows.
Do the experiment and report back to us, Inquiring OP. Take copious notes so there's something to be gained if you don't survive.

If I do it i will do it in a test machine and run away like fucking sonic

Not op, but what if for science reasons I used propane running through a regulator through a copper pipe and then expelling out an exhaust vent somewhere? propane gas is like -50C or something, the only thing that could go wrong is a spark from the electronics or something shorting out from the condensation (which cause sparks).

It would be crazy impractical because of having to constantly change propane tanks, but I think it would be cool to make a computer built for hank hill

It will literally blow up. The liquid nitrogen will quickly evaporate into gaseous nitrogen, and the closed system won't be able to handle the excess pressure. So the pressure will escape at the weakest point in your system, which will probably be at a hose clamp or something.

This is the stupidest idea I've ever heard

>>56296784
Actually, is there any possible way to keep liquid nitrogen in a closed loop for cooling purposes?

I imagine there's some kind of physics issue dealing with energy exchange and entropy that makes it not possible, but if you could build a closed watercooling loop that was capable of withstanding the pressure of the liquid nitrogen, what would happen?

For that matter, is there any way you could make liquid nitrogen based cooling practical?

>>56302482
PC liquid cooling systems can't make the liquid any cooler than room temperature. Radiating heat through a heatsink/radiator only works if the liquid is hotter than the surrounding air.

Liquid nitrogen boils at −196 °C temperature, so it's not going to work when your cooling system can't get anything below 20°C. The cooling system would need to use a heat pump like in a freezer.

> build a closed watercooling loop that was capable of withstanding the pressure of the liquid nitrogen, what would happen?
You mean room temperature liquid nitrogen but under so much pressure it can't turn into a gas? What would even be the point? just use room temperature water.

>is there any possible way to keep liquid nitrogen in a closed loop for cooling purposes?
Well, yes, there is. MRI machines need to do that to keep their superconducting magnets cool.

But not with the equipment OP has: it is very much not built for that and all he'll get is a big, very nasty vapour explosion.

Well, if you do it, post it on YouTube.

Putting LNO2 in closed things that can't properly handle a metric fuckton of pressure when it heats up and expands will cause one hell of a nasty explosion.

>>56299467
>the only thing that could go wrong
If you do that, post it on YouTube too. I bet you go posthumously viral.

Really these don't seem like things you should be doing if you can't work this out.

>>56296784
Even if you found a way to keep the liquid nitrogen from expanding and keep it cool. The surrounding parts will attract any form of condensation in the air. You can potentially freeze lock your cpu as well.

>>56302482
It is still not a closed loop. We spend a fucktonne of money keeping our NMR and everything cooled down because it is constantly venting off gas.

>>56302482
Yes but it'd have to be kept at extremely high pressures to keep it liquid.
And as you're keeping it liquid, it isn't actually very useful since liquid nitrogen's heat conductivity is pretty low compared to say, water.

Use water dude, the limit of water cooling is not the thermal conductivity of the liquid but the radiation of the heat the water collects later in the loop.

The best water cooling loop gets into thermal equilibrium with the heat source as it passes, and then becomes in thermal equilibrium with the air as it passes through the radiator.
IE; it takes the excess heat from the CPU and puts it into the air.

>>56303491
I think there's people here who fundamentally misunderstand how heat works.
Like they think that if you can keep liquid nitrogen from evaporating it'll stay cold forever.
There's two ways to keep liquid nitrogen from evaporating:
1. Increase the pressure.
2. Decrease (or maintain) the temperature.

IE you either super-pressurise it in a fucking steel gas canister so it stays a liquid at room temperature, or use refrigeration or something to lower the temperature.

Seriously, this is /g/ and people are completely fucking ignorant of basic, basic fucking basic thermodynamics.
