    I Physical properties of a particle in Bohmian mechanics

    Are the physical properties of a particle spread out through the wave function in bohmian mechanics?

    Fluid Flow Loss Analysis Using Real Gas Properties

    I am trying to model fluid flow and losses through a component (e.g., pipe) using REAL GAS properties since 1) I have access to RefProp from NIST, and 2) I am dealing with refrigerants, which are far from ideal. I have seen nowhere an analysis of fluid flow losses (e.g., drag, friction...

    I Intrinsic or non-intrinsic properties

    As I understand it, the properties of a particle exist in superposition in the wave function until a measurement forces a the wave function to "collapse" to one possibility, and the particle continues to have that value for the property until it interacts again with something else. But for...

    I Bose-Einstein Condensate Properties

    So a Bose Einstein condensate is another state of matter at temperatures below those where a solid state exists. The temperature is reduced so much, that the quantum wave states overlap and become one single object. So what are the properties of this object? Is it more rigid than solids...
