Yea i realised i typed quicker than i thought, i stand corrected
I like to keep it simple, anything that is expanded rapidly is cooled, the air from the compressor isnt cooled that quick so doesnt return to normal given it was full of heat energy,think of a gas bottle already cool in its self.. masive expansion and so ice forms, tips of a jet plane, thats why they form so easily when doing high G' manouvers, Adiabatic cooling? 2nd time lucky
Slgrossman has the right way of putting it.
