    Effect on air pressure and volume in an enclosed container

    Summary: I wish to understand if bubble formation in milk while being sloshed around, or the formation of separation layers will affect both the pressure and volume of the air head space above the milk Hi all : ) I have a basic physics question and sorry if its a very silly question: Let's...

    Help With MCNP Volume definition

    I need some help defining a tally volume. I want a volume bounded by three surfaces, but when I do an initial plot the volume is in red dashed lines. I know that each cell needs to be uniquely defined, but I am not seeing how my volume is not unique. The cell in question is cell 200 in the code...

    Biot-Savart for finite volume currents (Wangsness)

    Since ##\vec{R}/R^3 = -\nabla(\frac{1}{R}) = \nabla^\prime(\frac{1}{R})##, the standard form of the Biot-Savart law for volume currents can be re-written as: $$\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\int\limits_{V^\prime}\frac{\vec{J}^\prime (\vec{r}^\prime)\times\vec{R}}{R^3}d\tau^\prime =...

    How to find the volume when solids intersect?

    I know that to find the volume under a surface and above a boundary we have to integrate twice. I can explain myself with an example :- Lets' consider that we need to find the volume under the surface z = \sqrt{1-x^2} and above the region bounded by y^2 = x and positive x-axis and x=5 ...

    I How do I derive a PDE for the volume flow rate of a tilting vessel?

    So the other day, I was pouring beer from a can to a mug and I obviously know the flow rate depends on the height of the beer from the bottom of the can (fluid level in the vessel), angle of tilt and I think time as well. I was wondering how to best model the PDE to describe such a phenomenon (...

    Pressure and Volume of a Neutral Hydrogen Cloud

    Here's how I approached it. We know the total mass of the cloud, it is given. Let's call it 'M'. We can also find out the mass of a single hydrogen atom from its atomic weight. Let's call this 'm'. Then N = M / m is the total number of hydrogen atoms in the cloud. The temperature (T) is given...
