Liquid Definition and 1000 Threads

I'm working on a problem and need to find quality, mass, and pressure. I'm given a temperature (2°C), a volume (1200m^3), and a percent volume occupation (1% saturated liquid). Is it "legal" to use the saturated liquid tables, at 2°C, to find the volume or pressure (I forget which one we were...

This is a diagram of a pitot-static tube. My question is however not related to its applications but rather, what causes the liquid to rise up the static tube? The static tube is at right angles to the fluid flow. I understand that this is a very basic question but I can't seem to get my head...

http://phys.org/news/2015-08-high-pressure-secrets-osmium.html what do these new findings mean for liquid metallic hydrogen? Why don't they use this equipment on hydrogen?

At a temperature of 0 C the density of ice and liquid water is 0.9187 g/cm3 and 0.9998g/cm3 respectively. Consider a situation where the density of ice is increased to more than 8.83% at 0 C, what would be the consequences of this to the life forms? The life forms would vanish because of the...

Hi, I thought I would post this, hope not against protocol, thought may be helpful to someone else at some point -- though hope it is not necessary:. I had dropped a bit of liquid on the PC (laptop) , in the keyboard area. PC was not working well, typing errors, etc. I put the laptop open...

Liquid junction potential occurs when 2 solutions of different concentrations are in contact with each other. The more concentrated one would have tendency to diffuse faster comparitively than less concentrated. The rate of diffision depends on the mobility of ions. Weston cadmium cell is...

Obviously we don't have the technology to make this work now but I would like to know how plausible this is as a concept/thought experiment. Basically the idea is to discover a gas or liquid with a very high activation energy (for some reaction) so that it can absorb an explosion or control a...

Hello! I have some troubles finding a way to estimate how much temperature of liquid would rise when it is suddenly adiabatically pressurized to thousands of bars. In normal conditions liduids such as water are considered to be incompressible, but certainly not in 5000 bars. Because water (or...

HI Guys .. I really need some help on this ... I need to manufacture(mix) a liquid that 'displays' as UV light if that's the correct term. any ideas where I could start ? I have limited chemicals knowledge :/

Hi all, I'm brushing up on some thermodynamics, and having been reading up on the interpretation of temperature as derived from kinetic theory. I can follow the derivation for an ideal, monatomic gas which relates temperature to the average, translational kinetic energy of the molecules. Most...

Hello, I have been working on a personal project involving the transfer of liquid CO2. I want to figure out a way to measure the transfer of liquid CO2 from one cylinder (supply cylinder) to another (receiving cylinder) and get an exact measurement of how much CO2 was transferred into the...

Hello, Can anyone answer me how to caluculate the massflow of the liquid. I know the inlet mass flow , volume of the pipe , and the inlet pressure and outlet pressure of the pipe. Do we have any equation to caluculate the outletmass flow with respect to differential pressure? Can anyone help...

I have a refractory adhesive based upon liquid Na2O3Si and other unknown constituents. It remains a liquid until a specific temperature... when it boils, or gasses. At this point, if the temperature is removed (or increased), the liquid becomes a solid. It would appear (perhaps incorrectly)...

hello I have a liquid or gas inside a metallic box (eg. stainless steel 5mm thick) how can I increase its temperature without heat convection or conduction?

Is it simply the gaseous state of a liquid substance? For instance, water vapor, in this context, would be the gas state of water after having transitioned from a liquid state.

What are we referring to when we denote, say, NaCl (aq)? Are we referring to the dissolved NaCl (Na+ and Cl-)? Are we speaking of the solution as a whole (the dissolved NaCl and water)? Also, how does the liquid state differ from an aqueous?

I've read a fews post about liquid hydrogen boil off, but could use a bit more clarification; insight on the following thought experiment would be really helpful: What happens if I take a 1 L steel vessel, put 1 L of liquid H2 into it, seal it off, and let it sit in a room at 25C? The density...

No idea why this popped into my head on the drive home tonight, but here we go: Would it be possible to build a rocket filled with either liquid Nitrogen, or some other super-cooled substance, then use a battery of high-energy, ground-based laser beams pointed at the super-cooled propellant to...

Hi Everyone liquid nitrogen is very useful . i want to know how to make liquid nitrogen? i won't make a one. but i only want to know how to make it .

Please could someone verify this statement as I understand things: If an object has a low reynolds number (or the fluid is very viscous) then it is dominated by viscous forces and inertia plays no role. The object is in a laminar flow regime. That last part, is it correct? What I'm asking is...

We Know that in conductive Solids there are lots of free electrons available & they drift when electric field is applied. Their drift velocity is in the range of mm/sec to cm/sec. Now if we consider any conductive liquid which is flowing & we connect the electrodes in such fashion that the flow...

Why is the average kinetic energy of the molecules a cold liquid less? As the temperature of a liquid decreases, the average kinetic energy of its molecules reduce. What is the reason behind this?

Hello Fellow members. In many litterature about mixing liquids in tanks, they describe how to calculate the natural frequency of shafts in free air. But i have only found one book that describe about natural frequency of shafts in liquid, and it should have a damping effect of the natural...

Hey Is there any liquid available that is magnetic at room temprature? I know that liquid helium is magnetic but at very low tempratures not at room temperature. Thanks

I have a small 'cryostat' which I would like to fill with liquid helium to conduct an experiment. It consists of a circular plastic kitchen measuring cup 3 inches wide at the top, 2 and 1/4 inches wide at the bottom, which is flat, and 1 and 1/2 inches deep. The plastic wall/floor is about...

A horizontally oriented tube is rotating with angular velocity ω about one end of the tube which is open. The tube has ideal liquid filled inside it as shown in the attachment. Why does there have to be a pressure difference between two points in the ideal liquid at the same horizontal level...

Homework Statement The problem I have is not actually so much a physics problem but more of a logical problem. When we look at rulers and any kind of measuring tools, we start from zero. We count the number of intervals instead of the divisions. Suppose we have a video with 7 frames per...

DrDu suggested I posted this here. Wiki says that "The electrons of a single, isolated atom occupy atomic orbitals. Each orbital forms at a discrete energy level. When multiple atoms join together to form into a molecule, their atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals, each of which...

Hey guys, I am working on a project and I need to use use a conductive (even with poor conductivity) but non-corrosive liquid. I don't think that salt water with non corrosive inhibitor is "non-corrosive" enough. This is not my major so I am kinda of stuck in the research until I find this, I...

After some reading, I noticed that everybody likes to mention the order parameter and most of the literature simply adds a graph, for example: http://www.personal.kent.edu/~bisenyuk/liquidcrystals/maintypes2.html However, many (all of them, to be exact) seem to avoid the exact expression of...

why do heavier balls fall faster in liquids ?, if F=mg-drag, a heavier ball would have greater mg, but the acceleration is given by F=ma, therefore mg-drag = ma, a = (mg-drag)/m. I can't see how a heavier ball would fall faster.
