A ship carrying pieces of debris from the submersible that officials say imploded while carrying five people to the wreckage of the Titanic last week arrived in Newfoundland, Canada, on Wednesday.

Rapidly compressing gas most certainly DOES generate heat.

and I still don’t understand why it generates heat

Two sources of heat:

The heat inherent in a large volume of gas is concentrated into a smaller volume. That yields a temperature rise. (P x V x T' = P' x V' x T; where P is initial pressure, V is initial volume, T is initial temperature; P' is new pressure, V' is new volume, T' is new temperature)

Additional heat is generated as the gas molecules bang into each other during compression.

Its the same reason compressors get hot.

Think diesel engine. No spark plug, just compression and sudden explosion of the fuel from the heat generated from the compression.

[(and I still don’t understand why it generates heat)]

The compression of the air molecules increases the amount of friction of the molecules

At any rate of compression

from the interwebs (heh)

“Compressing the air makes the molecules move more rapidly, which increases the temperature. This phenomenon is called “heat of compression”. Compressing air is literally to force it into a smaller space and as a result bringing the molecules closer to each other.”

Why it generates heat? Compression ignition. Like a Diesel engine. With a VERY high compression ratio

Yes. Roughly, for every pound of air pressure there is a 2 degree F rise in temperature That’s the basic idea behind diesel engines.

Yes, similar to when they found fragments of people in the 9/11 rubble

“Rapidly compressing gas most certainly DOES generate heat.”

actually, compressing gas at ANY speed generates heat ... and when it decompresses it absorbs heat ... the basic principle of every cooling device that uses a refrigerant gas ...

I can’t see the plexi window. It looks like it’s missing to me. Apparently it was only rated for ~1,000 meters.If so, that’s just nuts.

Think diesel engine where the igniting of the fuel is from compression. When compressed diesel will ignite with such fury that it pushes the piston downward, which is why a diesel has so much torque compared to a gas engine where it is spark ignited.

Now go to those depths in the ocean where the compression is numerous times that of a diesel engine, and any combustible matter, including humans, will combust.

In other words, first they explode, then implode. Likely nothing left but ash which blends with the water and carried away.

It likely happened so fast the victims brains never had enough time to comprehend what was happening. There would be zero suffering or anxiety.

Maybe the debris they couldn’t find was disintegrated. All that would remain would not show signs of catastrophic damage.

Keep digging.

They found the human remains in the debris they brought up.

Yes, as you know not every violent explosive event reaches the temperature of the sun, especially an implosion in 34° water.

And from previous threads on FR I thought it was going to be reduced to the size of a soup can.

Reminds me of the Columbia disaster as it came apart for landing and we were told everyone died instantly...

Characterizing it as a "violent explosive event' is not correct. It was a "violent IMplosive event. And the compressed gases could have reached 6,000°C for a few milliseconds easily. The temperature of the water has nothing to do with it.

I literally said it was an implosion. An implosion is just an explosion in reverse. I characterized it as an explosive event because implosions normally don’t happen that violently.

Find me one physicist that says the inside of that sub reached 10,000°F in milliseconds before getting crushed with 34° water. I’ll wait. 😆
