When we fill a dewar or any other container with liquid argon (or liquid nitrogen), if I am correct, it sizzles because it is boiling. However, after we leave it inside for a few minutes, it stops. Does this happen because when you first pour it inside, the environment is of the liquid is much hotter making it boil, but after a while, the liquid makes its environment cold enough that it doesn't boil anymore?
P.S. I posted this in the High Energy forum since we do these kinds of experiments in my HEP lab and I wasn't sure where else this fit better (General Physics, maybe?).
