I'm doing a 3S3P pack. My box can hold 9 18650s. It can also hold 3 18650s and 6 21700s. Is it ok to mix 18650s and 21700s in the same p pack? I would use the same 21700s and the same 18650s in each p pack. I would arrange them to maximize capacity. So say 18650 cells are Model A cells (making...

I make Hummingbird feed by mixing 1/4 cup granulated sugar into 1 cup of water. I use a small glass pyrex measuring cup with one cup of water measured. It's heated for 1 minute in a microwave and 1/4 cup of sugar is added (no red dye!). I then vigorously stir the sugar and water using a metal...

Hey everyone, I have an attempt at fully solving this problem (my final pressure is ##p_f = 5373,64 hPa##, final temp. is ##T_f = 303,15K = 30C##), but this exercise confuses me very much. First, I have not used the masses in my calculations and I'm pretty sure my prof. accidentally copypasted...

To be honest, thermodynamics is really not my strong suit and I get confused when and how to apply formulas. My thought process is as follows: - there are two ideal gases (ideal gas law applies) - the pressure remains constant (isobaric process), so p1= p2 = p - I imagine there being two...

Consider that I have 2 adiabatic containers, one with a monoatomic gas at pressure P1, volume V1 and temperature T1 and another with pressure P2, volume V2, temperature T2. If I open a valvule and mix the two gases, how do I calculate the equilibrium pressure and temperature? I know the final...

The mixing of the 3 generations of fermions are tabulated into the CKM matrix for quarks: $$ \begin{bmatrix} c_{12}c_{13} & s_{12}c_{13} & s_{13}e^{-i\sigma_{13}} \\ -s_{12}c_{23}-c_{12}s_{23}s_{13}e^{i\sigma_{12}} & c_{12}c_{23}-s_{12}s_{23}s_{13}e^{i\sigma_{13}} & s_{23}c_{13} \\...

The graphical pattern of particles in the weak hypercharge and weak isospin plane, visible in this wiki page, shows the mixing angle between the Yw and Q axes. Actually , from the weak hypercharge (-2) of a right-handed electron and its electric charge (-1), one obtains an angle Pi/3, not the...

Hello, I am stuck how to proceed with the equations below. The problem: A tank containing ##m_0## mass, with a temperature of ##T_0##, is to be filled with a total mass of ##m_1##, with the constant mass flow rate ##G## and temperature ##T_1## during ##t_p## seconds. ##T_0>T_1##. Other than the...

https://quantum.phys.lsu.edu/old-website/seminars/abstracts/Kaushik10.pdf I have discovered an experiment in the link above where you get NOON entangled states by mixing classical laser light with quantum light from SPDC. But I cannot understand the mathematics behind it. Can you explain it to...

I watching this YouTube video about Göbekli Tepe which suggests that hunter-gatherers may have been more capable of creating civilizations than we presumed and it got me wondering what hunter-gatherer / farmer relations were like. Apparently they were good...

Basically it's a well known reaction, many kids on youtube make it for the views: I am thinking, since AlI3 sublimes can it be put in say tungsten bottle (is this even a thing??) and then used as a rocket the same way Na+H2O or HCL+Al rockets are used - the gas escapes? This phase...

Hi, In my situation, I am dealing with two ideal gases traveling down a pipe at the same bulk velocities. I am only considering a 1-D treatment at the moment and I would like to find out at which point the two gases should be considered a well mixed, homogeneous mixture. Would anyone know...

So this is a very simple concept but I am not explaining it well: Let's say you have 4 reactants in 2 different reactions (apologies: the symbols I am using do NOT exist, other than the "C" symbol, I just can't find real elements so that I am using just alphabet symbols as an allegory to show...

I am going to etch some titanium and need to mix up a 100ml batch of Kroll's reagent ( 92ml distilled water, 6ml nitric acid and 2ml hydrofluoric acid. Do I add the nitric acid to the water first and then add the hydrofluoric or vice-versa?

Hi. I am well aware that if say, there are two components A and B, the ideal mixing enthalpy between those two components are: (1) hmix = zA hA + zB hB. If I want to get the real behavior of a pure component, I am also aware that; say for example, liquid enthalpy: (2) hL = Href + ∫CpigdT (from...

Hello! First I tried modelling it like most mixing problems. $$ \frac{dA}{dt} = rate coming in - rate coming out $$ where dA is the volume and dt is the time rate coming in/out can be describe as; contrencation * flow rate. Now if we plug that all on $$ \frac{dA}{dt} = 35 * 0 -...

I have attached an image showing the perimeters of the problem. I have included what I think is the solution, could someone please take a look and tell me if I am on the correct path, in the solution I am taking Joules as a common term to attempt to solve the question. The gas I have used is N...

Please could someone point me in the direction of an equation/ book I can use to obtain the convection coefficient for steam in a heating jacket. Steam is at 1 bar pressure. I think I need to use a dimensionless number. Thanks

I am curious about how mixing paints works. If I mix an ideal paint A and an ideal paint B what is the product mixture C? Is it (Option 1) a mixture absorbs all the range A absorbs and absorbs all the range B absorbs OR is it (Option 2) a mixture with original A and B pigments therefore some...

Hi, I was recently learning about turbulent boundary layers and came across the 'Prandtl mixing length'. I am struggling to understand what the concept is and what its purpose is. I would appreciate any help or guidance of where I can look to gain a better understanding. The information I...

Hi, I have been reading a few literature regarding excess Helmholtz energy and I encountered this definition from the paper of Wong and Sandler (apparently, from the mixing rule used in a EOS): In particular, the ones in the red boxes. How did these equations come into being? I tried to look...

Can anybody point to an experiment that shows that the total entropy increases if two different gas mix at constant pressure and temperature, whereas if two volumes of identical gases mix the total entropy doesn't change?

(not a paradox nowadays, but it was an issue for years) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbs_paradox It's not a question about a formula. I don't understand the motivation in physics to claim Gibbs mixing "paradox", the discontinuity point. What bothers the physicist to ask for a continuous...

At first I thought it was C. A few sources agree with me. The book says D is correct. Here was my reasoning for C: With both salts having a formula of MX3, their [OH-]'s can be compared according to their Ksp values. Tl(OH)3 has a smaller Ksp, so it has a smaller [OH-] at saturation than...

Guys, I hope you guys are keeping well. I have been working on developing a Compact Dispensing Station for my CNC Machine & Parts Washer where coolant is mixed with water in different concentrations & volumes as per the requirement which will vary on a day-to-day basis (not the concentration...

I am wondering if two polymer particles, of same kind, heated above Tg can be mixed, over time, if they are squeezed together. By mixing I mean that the surfaces of the two particles will mix into one after they are squeezed together. For simplicity let's assume that the polymer particles are...

Let $X=X_0, X_1, X_2, \ldots$ be a Markov chain on a finite state space $S$, and let $P$ denote the transition matrix. Assume that there is an $\varepsilon>0$ such that whenever $\mu_0$ and $\nu_o$ are point distributions on $S$ (in other words, $\mu_0$ and $\nu_0$ are Direac masses) we have...

In the chemical engineering text of Smith, VanNess, and Abbott, there is a section on partial molar volume. It states that Gibbs theorem applies to any partial molar property with the exception of volume. Why is volume different? In other words, when evaluating the partial molar volume of a...

Hello guys, This is for a new product I am designing, which involves topping-up or refilling the liquid into a CNC Machine or Part Washer. I have to mix about a Litre of the chemical (alkaline.. pH in the range of 8-12) with about 50 Litres of water. The water will be fed under gravity through...

Suppose I have two audiofiles in 16 bit PCM, both recorded on a level that, except for the noise and distortion, is maximally recorded, or that the maximum recording level results in the maximum PCM level. So, the signal is recorded on the maximum level such that there is no clipping. If we...

Hello, my name is Lee. I am a design and electrical engineer and I am involved in a project where I have developed a piece of equipment that mixes substances, primarily two liquids. My equipment is a rotational shaking machine. The liquids are put into a vessel which is then shook over a number...

Hello, I am trying to mix two fluids which are in flow. To be exact, I am trying to mix a concentrated mineral solution to an outlet of my RO filter. Is there a method to mix the two fluids to get a fixed concentration of the mixed solution ? Regards, Sanatan

Saw the saddest thing in the world today: party balloons peeking out over the top of a dumpster. I started thinking about the buoyancy of H versus its flammability. H is 6-7 times more buoyant than He. It would be more more economical to use H if we could eliminate the explody bit. If you can...

I tried following: $$ dS_{\text{total}} = |\frac{dQ}{T_c}| |\frac{dQ}{T_H}| $$ where ## T_h ## is temperature of hot water and ## T_c ## is temperature of cold water. Coefficient for water wasn't provided in the assignment so i used following value c = 4190 J/kgK. $$ dS_{\text{total}} =...

Hi Probably a bit technical, but here it is. I am trying to construct some simplfied SUSY models (that is, you only tune the masses of the core process, while all the rest are decoupled), and I would like to play with different mixing scenarios for the neutralino and charginos, so to get a...

Hi, I have a roughly 1.1 GHz signal to be downconverted to 100 MHz by mixing it with a 1 GHz local oscillator. I am not sure how to choose the performance of the LO. In particular: let's assume the LO has a jitter of 100 fs rms. At 1 GHz this corresponds to a frequency error of 100 kHz. Does...

Hi folks. I am trying to reconcile the additive colour theory of light with more traditional grade school colour mixing. For example, we all know that blue paint plus yellow paint makes green paint. How do we explain this from the perspective of light? So the yellow paint appears yellow because...

Hi again Physics Forums! Last time I was here, I was an undergrad student. Now I almost finished a PhD in quantum information and became a high school teacher. I've never properly learned thermodynamics. I'm now trying to get it on the same level, that I understand the other topics in classical...

Mixing with a Common Drain. Two tanks, each holding 1 L of liquid, are connected by a pipe through which liquid flows from tank A into tank B at a rate of 3-a L/min (0<a<3). The liquid inside each tank is kept well stirred. Pure water flows into tank A at a rate of 3 L/min. Solution flows out of...

We've recently been looking at the hadronic decays of the W boson. In this one example, we looked at possible decays for the W boson being produced near its resonance peak, meaning the centre of mass energy is sufficient to produce u,d,c,s & b quarks. However, because we're below the mass of...
