    Designing materials from macroscopic desired properties

    Does anyone know of a class or a textbook or anywhere to start doing research on how to start off with a set of desired properties of a material and begin designing that material from a molecular level. A for instance would be say you want a material that is capable to separating oxygen from...

    What is the Fourier transform of cos(2πf0x - π/4)?

    Hi, I need help with some basic Fourier transform properties stuff - its fairly simple though I think I am doing something wrong. So we know from the shifting property if h(x) has the Fourier transform H(f) then h(x-a) has the Fourier transform H(f)ei*2*π*f*a so I have the function cos(2πf0x...

    Energy Momentum Tensor - General Properties

    It is often stated and proved in textbooks that the momentum density is also the energy flux. The explanation is often done using the dust model. However, it is possible that in a real fluid, there is heat conduction via particle collision. There is energy flux, but since no molecules are ever...

    Determining acid/base properties

    How can you tell NH3 is a better base than HOCOO-? I look at the conjugate species in both to determine their relative stabilities. Where NH4+ is the conjugate acid of ammonia and HOCOOH the conjugate acid for acetate. In this case, isn't the NH3 more stable than NH4+ since it is uncharged yet...

    Questions regarding properties

    If there is a graph that has a discontinuity (e.g. at x = 3) and then the there is a point much lower than the limit at 3, is that point at 3 considered a local minimum? Also, if the graph starts w/ a discontinuity at its "highest point", does it have an absolute maximum?
