re: CO2 phase term
Jeff-
I believe the term you are looking for is sublime. If i'm remembering right
when a substance goes directly from solid to gas, or gas to solid skiping the
liquid state it is said to sublime. can't exactly call the act of dry ice
going straight to gas melting :) that would imply a liquid state. as far as
CO2 being liquid or vapor in a compressed cylender.. the person to ask would
be Grant Cockshott, he sells the stuff he should know :)
