I’m doing some reading around thermodynamics. These are some links that I’m keeping track of until I get my head arround things a bit better

Spin isomers of water

After reading about spin isomers in hydrogen causing probelms for rocketry I did some reading on spin isomers of water. Seem sto be some timeconstants that play games with my understanding of temperature.
