    Finding change in height of fluid in U tube from change in T

    So first I converted the density from g/cm^3 to kg/cm^3 (it wants the answer in cm). This gives me a density of 0.01356 kg/cm^3. Then I thought about the relationship of pressure and temperature. Since volume remains constant and temperature is the only variable changing, the change in pressure...

    Finding pressure of gas in u shaped tube with liquid

    The answer is suppose to be 0.9432. Initially I thought the pressure inside the glass ball would just be the same as the atmospheric pressure because these equal pressures would cancel each other out, but obviously that's not true. I can calculate the density of the gas using the equation...

    Why can't I comment on YouTube videos?

    I don't seem to be able to comment on you tube videos. It doesn't give me an error message, there is a greyed out box that says "confirmation", but no hint as to what's wrong. I see one other comment on the video, so I assume comments are open. I don't see any hint as to where to get...

    Calculating air flow through a tube

    This is for a campervan project I am working on, I am trying to take outside air that is cold (Canadian winter) and mix it into the return air in my diesel heater. I need to hit a specific minimal CFM to maintain proper Co2 levels inside and I would like to be able to calculate this. The axial...

    I Why does a hydrogen gas tube produce a hydrogen atomic spectrum?

    To measure the atomic hydrogen spectrum people often uses hydrogen gas tubes as light source. Since the gas in the tube is the molecule ##H_2## , why we obtain the spectrum of atomic hydrogen? My guess is that because the voltage is so high, so that the molecules are totally dissociated. If...

    Questions related to the current between the plates of a vaccum tube?

    hi guys i have an assigment of deriving the current between the plates of a vacuum tube as a function of the potential bias applied on the upper plate from what i had found this relation is called Child-Langmuir law and states that : $$I = K V_{d}^{3/2}$$ from what i find online i can derive it...

    At least One Faraday Tube Between Every Two Unlike Charges in the Universe

    By Classic Coulomb's Law there exists negligible yet non zero force of attraction between two unlike charges in-spite of the distance. However for electrostatic attraction to work we need at-least one Faraday Tube(Lines of Forces) between the attracting charges, does that means...

    Explaining how a Vortex Tube works

    I have an interesting(IMHO) approach to explaining how the vortex tube works. There are a few explanations on wiki, but not a simple and convincing final one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_tube Normally a vortex tube, that runs well, howls very loud. It is a kind of aerodynamically...

    Flow of air through an open tube with a balloon

    I hope you guys don't mind a bizarre question from a novice. I've learned just enough about fluid dynamics to be dangerous. Assume that we have a straight, rigid tube with a constant inner diameter. It's not long, let's say it's around a foot (in case that matters). We cut a chunk out of the...

    Average velocity in a turbulent flow tube

    Steel ball oscillating in a tube

    The problem is easy to solve, the question i have is another about static. Why when we get: F = (-A*p*γ/l)y Can't we just substitute p*a = m*g? If this is a oscillation, it will be about some equilibrium position, where the net force is zero and which was the initial position of the body, in...

    Pressures in a U Tube along a line - different liquids

    Yes, pressure is same along the line for both the tubes since the liquids are in equlibrium. (I ignore the slightly longer air column in the left compared to the right). Is my answer correct?

    Isothermal pressure change in a U-shaped tube

    Hi, just reviewing some thermodynamics from the textbook by Sears and Salinger, having a hard time conceptualizing this one. It's an isothermal change in pressure, so the volumes of the mercury and the air both change to reach equilibrium, but if it's a "good vacuum pump", then won't the right...

    Shock wave through a liquid metal filled steel tube

    A glass tube filled with mercury

    I guess I have to find out something when the tube is on the horizontal. What force should I consider? Is the pressure of the air inside still ##p_{atm}##? When it is on the vertical, the equation is something like this? ##P_{Hg}+p_{atm}*A=p_{atm}*A+ρ_{air}*A*(l_1-l_1')*g## with...

    Cylinder with a horizontal tube (Fluid dynamics problem)

    I'll call ##v_2## the flow speed on the horizontal tube and ##v_1## the lowering speed of the column. Even if the lowering speed isn't negligible, the problem says "...when the plug has been removed", so can I consider the height unchanged? In order to find the force, I need the pressure when...

    Is the balance of forces equation correct for a tube immersed in alcohol?

    This is a problem from a past exam. For point a) the balance between force should be given by the following equation $$M*g+p_0*A=ρ*g*(A*d)+p*A$$ But I still have two unknown values... I know that pressure outside the tube at depth d is $$p(d)=p_0+ρ*g*d$$ and this has to be equal to the...
