Wow now we get some science. Are you saying is going to melt , Hi. Temp. & Pressure . My leading question Ok. it is molten but now I am going to reduce the pressure and reduce tem. solidification will take place . question : will the solid become a diamond or just graphite or solid carbon ?
Come on Arauca, if you google "carbon phase diagram" you get this in about 15 seconds: http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgu...a=X&ei=IDRYUtz9O8qJ0AWC6YCACw&ved=0CDEQ9QEwAA
Oh, ye of so little understanding of basic things! That's simply a step away from solidification / crystallization.
I don't understand the bullshit you are pulling . If you are so smart and I so dumb so show to this idiot your wisdom.
No BS and of course you don't understand. That would require just a tiny bit of scientific knowledge - which you do NOT have. Try reading about phase change or phase transition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_transition Be warned - it contains words of more than one syllable, but if you try really hard you might be able to understand some of it.
Just thought i would add this periodic table, it is one of the best i have found, there is a temp slider at the top, It tells you what state each element is at different temps, Carbon is the first element to become a solid as temps drop from 6000degrees. http://www.ptable.com/
I don't believe that was my objective . Does diamond and graphite have the same kindling point then, what is the difference between nuclear grade graphite and does it have the same kindling point as diamond . Do you see how well both of you can read mind
I'm not sure your question has a single answer. The temperature at which forms of a solid catch fire depends on their physical form, notably their surface/volume ratio. Powders burn far more readily than slabs of material. Think of iron filings. Coke burns fairly easily, though you have to heat it up quite a bit to get it going. Solid graphite, as used in a nuclear reactor for example, will I'm sure need a lot more heat. I don't know where you are going with the idea of diamond, but obviously this could never be used as the moderator in a reactor. Apart from the expense, you can't machine it and it has totally different (far inferior) heat transfer properties.
