Hey guys, I am researching the viscosity of different liquids. I want to use an acoustic method to determine the acoustic viscosity. In some readings I figured that this can be done by using two Piezo sensors. The two sensors are inserted into water, liquid, etc. Transmit sensor (sensor A)...

Hi, I was wondering, what is a cold burn exactly? We were told that liquid nitrogen (or anything that cold for that matter) can cause cold burns when touched... How can something cold burn you? Or is it not burning you but is it merely named 'cold burn' even though it is simply freezing...

What are the variables that determine the maximum diameter of a drop of liquid that will not disintegrate while falling through a gas (e.g. raindrop falling in air)?

In fox mcdonald - 6th edition page 83...i read that the free surface profile is independent of any property of liquid. But i have doubt that any liquid tried to acquire a shape so as to minimize its energy. So what went wrong?

1. If you take beer out of the fridge, dip it for 30 seconds in liquid nitrogen, then open it, it will foam up. Skipping the LNO2 cooling stage, it doesn't foam up, why? 2. Pouring a bottle of beer into Dewar of liquid nitrogen, then letting LNO2 evaporate leaves pieces that are shaped like...

Hi, I've got a random question. To my knowledge a liquid crystal filter bends incoming light coming in from various angles towards one particular angle as light leaves the filter. Does anybody know the % loss of light caused by this action?

I am trying to re-manufacture an ink cartridge and need to understand the physics of how this thing is working. The Cartridge 1. Ink in tube 2. Ball bearing on top of cartridge which I can push into the cartridge to allow me to get liquid into clean 3. Adaptor on top of cartridge which...

I want to model the flow of liquid through a pipe/tube and calculate the pressure drop over the pipe. What sort of boundary conditions should I be using? I tried with a pressure inlet and a pressure outlet, but I'm not sure if that is the right way to go. Pressure at inlet = 1.8bar, pressure...

Hello, I've been trying to find out how to calculate heat loss from a gas or liquid vs. temp. My understanding is that this is not a simple blackbody problem for a variety of reasons... guess it's more a gray-body problem. Have not been successful at finding papers or texts which deal with...

Hello, I am wondering how one can calculate the upwards force of a less dense object within a denser liquid based on the object's volume (or mass) and density, i.e of an air balloon in water. I've already searched for an answer for a while, but just don't seem to be asking google the right...

please tell the name of a liquid (at room temperature) which is attracted by a magnet. and its constituents does not get seperated.

the density of ice(solid) is less than that of water(liquid) and density of mercury(liquid) is more than that of many solids. thinking about it, it seemed natural to me that the more closely are the atoms or molecules packed the greater will be their density. but on packing them closely, isn't...
