Hi all, In osmosis a solvent moves across a semi-permeable membrane when the solvent is on both sides of the membrane but the concentration of the solute differs. Normally solvent moves from the side with high osmotic pressure (solvent containing less solute) to side containing more solute...

Did I answer this right ? An open tank contains liquid with a specific gravity of 1.735. If the height of the liquid is 10 feet, how much head pressure (in inches w.c. (water column)) will it exert? P= (10) (1.735)= 17.35 What is the pressure in PSI? P= (1.735)(0.433)(10feet)= 7.51255

The figure shows a U tube of uniform cross-sectional area A containing liquid of density p. The total length of the liquid column is L. When the liquid is displaced by an amount x from its equilibrium position, it oscillates with simple harmonic motion. The weight of liquid above AB provides...

Hi, While experimenting with various LED's in LN2, I noticed some strange behaviour from my green LED's. As expected all LED's (except the green one's) emitted light with a shorter wavelenth (for instance, my yellow led turned to red etc). However, my 2 (different manufacturer type LED)...

I am trying to understand the best way to dehydrate water from a liquid slurry fruit and vegetable blend, without loosing any of the vitamins and nutrition from the slurry. I expect to very thinly spread out the fruit/vegetables on a sheet, use dried convection air to help with the dehydrating...

Hi, I'm new here! I'm designing a dispensing system with several liquids. The liquids need to be dispensed into a circular area about 3/8" (opening of a bottle). I'm looking for advice, and would like to share my two ideas: A single peristaltic pump where the tube is manually changed. Each...

What happens when a gas molecule collides with a liquid molecule at the microscopic level ?

Hi there! I'm interested in Spatial Light Modulators for my project and I was hoping you (whoever you are) could help me. I try to explain everything as compact as possible but it's still quite a story. Sorry for that! For spatial modulation of light, a 'spatial light modulator' is needed...

Atoms in solid are more closedly packed as compared to liquid and gases. But we exert more force, some solid gets compressed but liquid doesn't, why? If atoms are loosely packed in liquid than solids, liquids should get compressed...

A colleague and I want to model how a slab of PCM (wax) solidifies as it cools off. What I have noticed in my experiments is that temperature sensors on the top and bottom of the slab say it should be solid, as they read well below the melting point. But when I peek at the sample, the center...

Homework Statement 0.05625 m^3 of H2O(s) is added to a thermally isolated system of 20 L of H2O (l). If the ice was initially at 0 C and the liquid water was initially at 95 C, what is the final state and temperature? The Attempt at a Solution I missed class for this so I'm going by...

In kinetic theory a liquid is viewed as an incompressible substance in which the atoms are free to move. I would like to know how to find an expression for the molecular flux in a liquid. By molecular flux I mean the collisions per unit area, where collision refers not to the collision between...

Hi. I am doing a physics project and we have been told by my lecturer to find out how to determine the surface tension of a liquid using Poiseulle's Law and to describe an experiment on how to do so. I have no idea how you could do this because none of the variables in the law relate to surface...

In Chemistry, if a substance is in equilibrium between its vapour and liquid, does it account for the dissolved gas molecules? I have always heard that the rate of evaporate = rate of condensation in a case like this, but does the rate of evaporation include the dissolved gases escaping and...

I had a two liter soda bottle stored outside in the cold. When I retrieved it, the contents was still liquid. Upon opening it, however, when the CO2 bubbles began to escape, the entire contents froze almost instantly around the bubbles. I am curious about what phenomenon I witnessed.

Hi, I'm working on an invention that eliminates liquid slosh in partially filled liquid containers and allows for center of gravity control. I'm wondering if there is a market for such an apparatus where elimination of all slosh is needed. I am aware of baffles, sponges, and diaphragms. A...

A while ago I had asked if anyone ever made liquid nitrogen from scratch without using a prepackaged cooling device (cryocooler). Well, I've done it. I'm working on a web tutorial and better video footage. For those who wish to make suggestions on what you would like to see I am submitting...

Homework Statement See attachment. Only struggling with (ii). Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution So ultimately after doing everything, calculating B(ε)-B(0) & assuming z>>1 and z2/A > 47 I find that B(ε)-B(0) > 0.048ε2A2/3 I don't really see how this tells me if the nuclei will...

It's a theoretical study. Like the image showing, the curved piston move in container and need energy for that. In the same time, another piston move up and recover energy. The pressure inside container is always the same (need to control speed of pistons, but there is a pressure). No gravity...

Is there any data about such measurements? I think, there has to be a pressure gradient in a floating liquid sphere due to surface tension.

There is a recent project I have been working on that requires the use of Isobutane as a propellant/solvent, so I have come up with a way to study the chemical compatibility of isobutane: I have a pressure chamber that I built from transparent PVC and opaque PVC with a tire valve as an inlet...

It's interesting to me that a liquid, under the force of gravity, in a container has a flat surface. Tell me if my explanation is correct: if the surface of the liquid were uneven, the higher parts of it would be "sitting on top of" the liquid below. Necessarily, the liquid under these parts...

When a Beaker is accelerating in the x-direction, the water level gets sloped. Why does this happen? Is this situation analogous to the sloping pendulum in an accelerating cart? Similarly why doesn't the water level change in shape when the beaker is accelerated in y-direction? That is, the...

Hi all, Hope you can help I am trying to figure out the temperature rise in a liquid subject to high pressures (7000bar in this case) Is the below adiabatic gas equation still suitable? or is there another way of working this out for liquids? T2 = T1(v1/v2)^y-1 P2 = P1(v1/v2)^y Were y =...

Hello to all, I am new here, with almost the same question like on this thread: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=310911 A question for an artistic project: I am searching for a not too dangerous (glossy white) opaque liquid that hardens very fast on a chosen moment, but...

I am studying Floatation in school and I have some doubts. I get that if an object is denser than the liquid its placed on, it will sink, and if it is less dense then it floats. But what happens when the density of both (the object and the liquid) are same? Will it float or sink? My notes say...

Hi, I would like to calculate the pressure inside a liquid planet in rotation. How can I do ? Pressure depend of depth under gravity but it depend of rotational speed too. Is it gravity pressure less centripetal pressure ? Is it \frac{1}{2}ρω^2r^2 - ρgh ?
