We are going to review a somewhat curious topic, sometimes we can see that ice is formed in the aircraft window, ¿but to whaté must be?
Más allá to know whyé this type of phenomenon is generatedóless than sure is very obvious to many of you, let's get to know meás details about the dináflight mica.
Perhaps unnoticed by some, but very noticeable to those who we take photos at all times of the flight, makes us wonder whyé is generated and in a I fly a few weeks atrás lo noté, from what it seemed to meó interesting to share it with you.
ice on the windows
First you have to know whaté It is ice has a lot to do with the famous hole or hole that we see in the windows of the airplanes and that we have already reviewed previously hereí.
Bábasically what isá happening is no different than what we see a glass of ice water in the kitchen. The m sideás cáglass lid (the outside) if you faceídue to the coldíor from the interior and transfers that temperature to the surrounding air.
That surrounding air became coldíto enough to make the moisture they containíto condense and adhere to the glass. If the glass were cold enoughíO, freezeíto that condensationón (we see it in cold beersías). The avi windowón isá tan fríbecause the condensationón it freezes.
The little oneño orificio de ventilationón on the interior window glass allows the pressureón of the cabin air passes to the outside window.
To the extent that aire passes throughés of the little oneñthe hole, hits the exterior polycarbonate window that is very coldíor where it condenses and freezes near the hole.
Since the planes fly high, Eastán exposed to low temperatures of – 40° or even less, generating this effect that really has noún safety riskérea, más to prevent you from seeing beautiful landscapes.
¿And that particular shape of the ice that forms?
«The patrón circular must be a functionón window surface temperature, cabin air humidity and flow throughés from bleeding hole». Bret Jensen, a Boeing aerospace engineer, comments www.slate.com.
A curiosity más of aviationón, but that undoubtedly allows us to know and expandún más ours aero cultureáutica.
