Well... that: Please, could you please assist me in obtaining a rough estimate of the distance from the Sun at which a planet resembling Venus or a hypothetical Venus-like planet (for the sake of simplicity) would have a habitable-zone surface temperature? A "back-of-the-envelope" educated...
My main question here is about how we actually justify, hopefully fairly rigorously, the steps leading towards converting the sum to an integral.
My work is below:
If we consider the canonical ensemble then, after tracing over the corresponding exponential we get:
$$Z = \sum_{n=0}^\infty...
For this problem,
The solution is,
However, why must we use absolute temperature for the ideal gas law (i.e why can we not use Celsius for T)
Many thanks!
My first assumption is that the temperature dependence on the mobilities can be neglected, and so we would have:
$$R_H(T)= \frac{1}{e} \frac{p_v(T)\mu_h^2-n_c(T)\mu_e^2}{(p_v(T)\mu_h+n_c(T)\mu_e)^2}$$
The expression for the electron and hole densities could be derived from...
Hello everyone,
I deposit a thin film of HTM based carbazole and I measure the PL at lower tempertaure . by fiiting the experimental results with 5 peaks . I notice the dissapering of peak 1 at 300K and peak 3 at 200K. What is the nature of the interaction that can occur at lower temperature of...

As part of our UG curricula in Physics major, we have a practical in which we have to draw the calibration curve of an NTC ##10~\mathrm{\Omega}## thermistor, and then construct a circuit to maintain the temperature of a water bath.
The calibration curve of our thermistor. The Prof. said that...
Usually, the mental image of temperature is: an internal property of a bulk of matter, which typically describes the average kinetic plus rotation/vibration energy of molecules, so we imagine a gas in which temperature is a measure of how quick molecules are, and how frequently they collide one...
Looking at the given values, I thought the specific heat formula could be used to calculate the final temperature of the air: c = Q/mΔT. Since the final temperature is the sum of the initial temperature and the change in temperature, the formula can be rearranged to ΔT = Q/m*c.
Q = 30 W * 10 s...
An insulated container (constant volume, adiabatic) contains an Ideal gas with pressure P1 and temperature T1.
We open the container's hatch for a few seconds and let some particles escape from the container, then we close the hatch again. We know container's pressure has reduced by exiting...

I understand their logic for their equation, but when I was trying to solve this problem, I came up with a different expression:
##\Delta A = \Delta L_x\Delta L_y##
##\Delta L_x =\Delta L_y = \Delta L## since this is a square.
##\Delta A = \Delta L^2##...

I have a cube with a volume of 1000m3 at an initial temp of 290K. The bottom side (10m by 10m) is open to the ambient air. I put this cube into a huge fridge and cool the whole volume by 5K. I close the open side by placing a cover on it. This cube has now got a volume of air at a temperature of...
I am a high school student and recently I have been working on a project about how temperature affects the frequency of a string emits. I have read blogs like https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/tension-and-frequency-with-change-in-temperature.833185/ and completed the part of thermal...
When I try P_rel_e = P_ideal I couldn't get a single number that is close to the given T_Max. It might be that I used the wrong equations but I am not sure. Can anyone give me some guidence on this question?
The commonly called value of the temperature at recombination is 3000 K.
According to this reference the process of recombination can be described by the Saha equation:
3.1. Recombination and the formation of the CMB
Recombination happens quickly (i.e., in much less than a Hubble time t ~...
(1) Incorrect, since the root mean square speed(c^2)is directly proportional to the temperature, but it will just affect the average kinetic energy, doubling the k.e., but not related to the potential energy.
(2) Correct, since the volume of gas is directly proportional to the temperature
(3)...
The answer given for part (c) in the back is that temperature doesn't change as the gas in cylinder A expands to fill cylinder B.
The thermodynamic system here is composed of the two cylinders A and B joined by some pipe.

The other day I read on a website that a lower evaporator airflow causes lower low pressure side saturation temperatures and higher delta T on an air-conditioner. Now I think I know why a lower evaporator airflow would cause a high delta T. If there is less air moving over the evaporator, the...

It is 21°F here this morning and no frost on anything not even car windows. I have noticed this before when it gets cold enough there is no frost. Maybe all the moisture freezes out of the air and there is no moisture to make frost? I don't know? At what temperature is there no frost?

Imagine, in a mercury ring (superconductivity below Tc=4.15 K) we establish a persistent supercurrent. Then we organize temperature cycles (T-cycles) in the cryostat, from 3 K to 2.5 K and back. According to the BCS theory of superconductivity, the pair density decreases at warming, i.e. a not...
Sir, heat is proportional to the vibration of atoms. If the vibration of atom is restricted to large extent due to intense gravitational field but has high quantity of total energy in the atom then does it mean it has high tempearture like the stars?
If you were to condense all the energy in the universe into a point, wouldn't the temperature be very high, yet the entropy be very low? Also if you were to spread out all of the energy in the universe, wouldn't the temperature be near zero and the entropy be very high? And this makes entropy...

The volume of the cylinder is ##V=\pi r^2 h=\frac{7\pi}{250}\ m^3## the number of moles is ##n=\frac{15}{16}\ mol## so from ##PV=nRT## we get ##P=\frac{nRT}{V}=25975.5\ Pa##.

I know for sure PICO will be measuring polarization anisotropies with high fidelity. In addition, the PICO science paper shows that it will make full-sky Compton-y maps but the plots are mostly limited to l=1000. Will PICO be able to measure kSZ temperature anisotropy at l=3000?

I have a question about the Thermodynamic Identity.
The Thermodynamic Identity is given by
dU = TdS - PdV + \mu dN .
We assume that the volume V and that the number of particles N is constant.
Thus the Thermodynamic Identity becomes

Assume that we add heat to the system (we see that...
