How can we Supply more O2 & Save Lives?
Problem Statement: Liquid Medical Oxygen carrying tankers can travel by road at Max speed of 50kmph only.
How to increase speed of these tankers without compromising on safety? #Hackathon#CodeNinja#solutionforlife#innovation#iit #COVID
Liquid oxygen has a density of 1.141 g/cm3 (1.141 kg/L or 1141 kg/m3), slightly denser than liquid water, and is cryogenic with a freezing point of 54.36 K (−218.79 °C; −361.82 °F) and a boiling point of 90.19 K (−182.96 °C; −297.33 °F) at 101.325 kPa (760 mmHg).
Liquid oxygen has an expansion ratio of 1:861 under 1 standard atmosphere (100 kPa) and 20 °C (68 °F).
Becos of these reasons LMO when taken to a greater heights where the air pressure is high, LMO cannot sustain. That’s why it cannot be airlifted. Then what?
@VTankha Empty tankers are being airlifted so that turnaround time can be shortened. We are asking experts to suggest and come up with possible solutions to airlift filled LMOs.
