3. If you rely on the speed of it melting to dictate the injection rate



Just a nitpick, but CO2 sublimes instead of melts.

ROTFLMAO. Oh man I know, I'm a science geek I do that nitpicking stuff
myself. I just didn't think it was worth it having people look up the
definition of sublimation :P

Hey, just thought of something. CO2 in a pressured tank is in liquid form.
So if he puts this dry ice in a sealed tank that does get a high enough
pressure once enough CO2 has sublimated, as the rest of the CO2 thaws it
will turn into a liquid instead of a gas... so it would 'melt'. hehe.

Hmmm, well I'm not so sure it would work quite like that, but maybe! Vapor
pressure diagrams were a long time ago.
