I got the correct answer to this question with the following calculations, but I do need some correction in terms of what units I'm integrating across.
ρ##\rho ## is density.
mtot=n##m_{tot}=nM##, where n is the number of moles of a substance and M is the molar mass of the substance...
Calculate the boiling temperature of methanol at 60 atm knowing that Tc = 513K, Pc = 78 atm and the acentricity is 0.555.
I would like you to help me start the exercise.

there's a website to size an aquarium heater or chiller.
This is just for learning purposes (not for fish) but I have modified these parameters from default to perform a load calculation on a 100 gallon glass tank... For the tank temperature range I set to be between 150-160 degree F. and a...
In my town, newspaper stories say we've had several days of record high temperatures. The stories report temperatures in the range of 107 F. However, on the same days, online weather reports show temperatures as high as 116 F.
I think online weather reports use reports from amateur weather...
First i calculated the latent heat of vaporation: h_vap(15°C)= 2465.4 kJ/kg
In the next step i calculated how much water is already in the air:
x=0.622*j*ps/(p-j*ps)=0.00988 kg/kg
where:
j=50%
ps=0.03171 bar
p=1.01325 bar
Now that i know that i can calculate the enthalpy of humid air:
h_hum =...
Hey all. I tested my astro camera a while back and found what looks like a temperature dependent readout noise value.
Which is odd, as everything I've ever read has told me that readout noise is independent of sensor temperature.
I took 50 bias frames at 5°c intervals, from -15°c to +20°c and...
Hi all,
I've read so many times that "temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance," or sometimes "particles" to encompass atoms and ions too. But how big can "molecules/particles" be before their kinetic energy is no longer relevant to temperature?
If...
In a pipeline is an organic stream (mainly benzene and hydrocarbons, 60 m3/h) which contains 11 g/s liquid water. At which temperature will the relative humidity in the pipeline be 10 %?
Is this possible to calculate? If not, which extra information would you need?
I have a problem at the very beginning. I don't know how to relate this vapour pressure to the temperature difference. I have read the hint:
Recall the idea 7: for dynamical processes, at first, a mechanical equilibrium is reached, which means the equality
of pressures; the other equilibria...
If an endothermic reaction has a lower temperature, since the forward reaction rate decreases more, the reaction should produce more energy to compensate for the decreased energy and raise the rate of the forward reaction until it reaches equilibrium with the reverse reaction. Is this saying...
Is it anything to do with the equation being independent of mass etc.. of the star? or to do with the Pauli exclusion principle? Any help will be much appreciated.
For a course project, I need to design a heat exchanger to cool electronic components in an UAV. The heat exchanger will be cross-flow air to liquid. The cold side (air side) properties are evaluated at an altitude of 7620 m and -34.5 °C. For the hot side ethylene glycol - water solution with a...
Thank you in advance for your replies.
While reading about special relativity I started thinking about how time dilation might affect temperature.
Since temperature is really the jiggling motion of molecules, does time dilation affect temperature by slowing down the jiggling motion? Or...
Let the new engine, NE, extract heat from a certain subset of these baths, and let heat obtained from the ##i^{\rm th}## bath be denoted by ##Q_i##, and let the heat rejected to the ##j^{\rm th}## be denoted by ##Q_j##. Let the engine perform an amount of work ##W##.

To begin with, I can first let ##T(x,y) = X(x) Y(y)## to be the given solution. With this, I can then continue by writing:
$$Y \frac{\partial^2 X}{\partial x^2} + X \frac{\partial^2 Y}{\partial y^2} = 0$$
$$\Longrightarrow \frac{1}{X} \frac{\partial ^2 X}{\partial x^2} + \frac{1}{Y}...
First, I tried using the Archimedes principle and calculated the weight of the surrounding air displaced when taking off.
##W = 2500\times 1.29\times 9.81 = 31637.25 N##
But then, I got stuck and do not know how to proceed from here on.
I don't want the full solution yet but can I get some...

The partition function of the given system is given by, Z = 1 + e(-ε/kT)
So in the '0' energy state, number of particles, n1 = [1/(1 + e(-ε/kT))]N
and in the 'ε' energy state, number of particles, n2 = [e(-ε/kT)/(1 + e(-ε/kT))]N
Now according to condition of population inversion, n1 < N/2
Upon...
For finding n, I believe that directly applying the above formula gives the results. But I am confused whether I have to put the value of given temperature T = 100K or the actual temperature Tc for Rb-87 at which BE Condensation occurs (i.e. 100 nK, which I got from a quick Google search)? Or do...
Hello, thank you for taking the time to read this.. I hope I followed the formatting correctly and this post complies with the expectations of the forum. I solved the equation but my answer seems too low. I tried it again and arrived at the same answer. I also had doubts if it was acceptable...
Through the research that I conducted is that I wasn't able to find actual supporting answer to this question. I struggle with Physics and math and because of Coronavirus my school has shut down meaning I don't have access to my teachers or tutor. The main line that i am thinking is that if it...
Hi.
I have 3D printer with a heated bed, made of a 400x300 mm aluminium, that is 4mm thick. The surrounding air temperature is about 10°C. When printing with different materials, it is required to keep the bed at different temperatures. What I experience is that the driver which controlls...
Temperature is often imagined as a scalar field varying over (physical) space. Yet temperature seems to be generally defined as the (reciprocal) rate of change (with fixed V,N) of the entropy of a system w.r.t. the energy of that system; a seemingly global property. Is this definition only for...
First I found partition functions of both the systems and hence total energies of them using above formulas.
Z(A) = (1 - e-ε/kT)-1 and Z(B) = (1 + e-ε/kT)
Then I equated these values to the given values of total energies.
I got:
For System A, T(A) = ε/kln(2) > 0
For System B, T(B) =...
Hi
I'd like to know if my current approach to the problem has any issues.
My attempt:
Balancing the equation:
Qin + Win +mΘout = Qout + Wout + mΘout
Qin+m(hin + v2in/2 + gzin) = m(hout + v2out/2 + gzout)
Wflow + ΔU + m(hin) = m(hout)
I factored out the mass:
wflow + Δu + hin = hout
And I used...
I have been reading about the "greenhouse effect" of Earth's atmosphere, having been conscious that while I generally understand it I had never really examined it more closely. A problem that bothers me is mention of "surface temperature" which seems to vary according to context.

Hi!
I have question about high frequency transformers inside switch mode power supplies (SMPS). Is it normal for them to become hot under no load or low load? For example if power supply is rated for 144A at 13.8V and I only pull from it 2A at 9.6V, it normal that transformer becomes about 50C...
Homework Statement:: 1. Does the increase in kinetic energy in (for example) water that results from increasing its temperature result from electron excitation (i.e. increasing electron energy levels) or simply increasing their velocity or vibration amplitude/frequency?

this is my attempt of a solution , but my only equation is should i convert Θ to Celsius , and if i did the specific heat of the other
substance is greater , how is that if its inversely proportional with temperature ! . and the other Θ is 200 K so it should be less ?!
I once had a job servicing microwave repeater station. About 1000 ft up on the tower are reflectors/antenna they have heaters that came on at 40 degrees F. Heaters stayed on until about minus 18 degrees F then heaters turned off. When it gets cold enough all humidity in the air freezes then...
how can i find the rate of change of temperature of the tank for a superheater? Or is there any relationship between the change in temperature of the tank when it is filled with hot gas?

M
F
Ice Point
77°M
32°F
Steam Point
437°M
212°F
437°M - 77°M = 360°M
212°F - 32°F = 180°F
∴ M = 2F
M = 2(68°)
M = 136°
But this is incorrect. The answer is actually 149°M. Please help.
