Water cooling jacket and particle accelerator: what they have in common

1. Step 1. Water cooling jacket — is part of — Liebig condenser. An outer tube with running water.
2. Step 2. Liebig condenser — works like — Separate condenser. Condensing vapour by cooling.
3. Step 3. Separate condenser — uses — Latent heat. Watt drew on Black’s research on latent heat.
4. Step 4. Latent heat — is used in — Bubble chamber. A particle leaves a trail of boiling bubbles.
5. Step 5. Bubble chamber — has part — Electromagnet. The field bends the tracks.
6. Step 6. Electromagnet — is used in — Particle accelerator. Bending magnets.
