frigorific

The most common use of a frigorific mixture is to melt ice.

(This is an example of a Frigorific mixture).

Other examples of frigorific mixtures include:

The headlamps of the second sled-carrying Pete and Claude-sparkled in the frigorific darkness behind him.

Frigorific mixtures are commonly used in laboratories as a convenient way to generate reference temperatures for calibrating thermometers.

Liquid water and ice, for example form a frigorific mixture at defining 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius.

This is a frigorific mixture which stabilizes its temperature automatically: that stable temperature was defined as 0 F ( 17.78 C).

The lowest temperature was achieved by preparing a frigorific mixture of ice, water, and ammonium chloride (a salt), and waiting for it to reach equilibrium.

In spite of the depths of despair into which that life had led her, a frigorific wistfulness informed Jennifer Drackman's voice, an eerie longing.

Not all his 'scintillated eyes,' his 'battling emotions,' his 'frigorific torpidity of despair'... ought to save him from infamy, and his volume from the flames."

Our Host explains that this is the realm of Love Gone Awry, where the nobler inclinations of the spirit entombed are subjected to the frigorific contortions of Style.

A frigorific mixture is a mixture of two or more chemicals that reaches an equilibrium temperature that is independent of the temperature of any of its component chemicals before they are mixed.

They are also useful for creating cold temperatures when mechanical refrigeration is not available, for example to tightly fit two parts of machined metal: one part is soaked in a frigorific mixture, causing it to cool and contract, and then placed into the uncooled second part.

He regarded coldness to be more than just the absence of heat, but as something real and did experiments to support his theories of calorific and frigorific radiation and said the communication of heat was the net effect of caloric (hot) rays and frigorific (cold) rays.
