The expansion ratio of a liquefied
Liquification

In physics, to liquefy means to turn something into the liquid state.Liquification can be a change from a gas to a liquid through condense, usually by cooling, or a change from a solid to a liquid through melting, usually by heating or by grinding and blending with another liquid to induce solution....
