Physical and Chemical Characteristics of Urea Ammonium Nitrate Solutions
The solutions contain a remarkably low amount of water and nevertheless have a low salt-out temperature:
| Grade, %N: | 28 | 30 | 32 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ammonium nitrate (%): | 40 | 42 | 45 |
| Urea (%): | 30 | 33 | 35 |
| Water (%): | 30 | 25 | 20 |
| Specific gravity at 16 °C: | 1.283 | 1.303 | 1.320 |
| Salt-out temperature (°C): | -18 | -10 | -2 |

“Life on board a pleasure steamer violates every moral and physical condition of healthy life except fresh air.... It is a guzzling, lounging, gambling, dog’s life. The only alternative to excitement is irritability.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“If Thought is capable of being classed with Electricity, or Will with chemical affinity, as a mode of motion, it seems necessary to fall at once under the second law of thermodynamics as one of the energies which most easily degrades itself, and, if not carefully guarded, returns bodily to the cheaper form called Heat. Of all possible theories, this is likely to prove the most fatal to Professors of History.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“Every man is in a state of conflict, owing to his attempt to reconcile himself and his relationship with life to his conception of harmony. This conflict makes his soul a battlefield, where the forces that wish this reconciliation fight those that do not and reject the alternative solutions they offer. Works of art are attempts to fight out this conflict in the imaginative world.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
