Homework Statement If 0.8kg of water at 100 celsius is mixed with 0.8kg of water at 0 celsius, is this process reversible? Homework Equations Entropy: S = mcln(T_2/T_1) The Attempt at a Solution I've already calculated the entropy of the process, which is 81.1 J/K. But how do I...

I am in the process of designing a hitch for my motorcycle. Realistically it is strong enough unless i pull more weight than i really should. That said I still should make it stronger in case of the foreseen, like when i got rear ended. Before i get to the pictures, what I have now is...

I have a graph where from each node the state can change randomly from one node to some of the other nodes. My task is to estimate how long the state will stay within a subset of all these nodes. Is there a way to characterize the network with some parameters to find the answer (maybe for a...

Take this equation: f(x) = u0.5(2 - 2u) + (2u - u2)(0.5u-0.5) My lecturer simplified it to this: f(x) = (2u(2 - 2u) + (2u - u2)) / (2u0.5) = (6u - 5u2) / (2u0.5) My intuition tells me to simplify it like this: f(x) = 2u0.5 - 2u1.5 + u0.5 - 0.5u1.5 = sqrt(u)(3 - (5/2)u)...

Is the reason why the energy liberating fustion process ends with uranium(more precisely Iron) is that uranium's bindind energy per nucleon begins to decrease and hence will absorb energy rather than emit it, and thus is not self sustaining? Thanks in Advance

Is there a compendium of peer-reviewed journals that have been shown to be wrong? I've heard of scientific journals that only have required two reviewers. How often does rubbish get by; not just typos and simple mistakes, but fundamentally unsound rubbish? Is there a remedy process for...

Consider the following cyclic process: Each cycle 800J of Energy is transferred from a reservoir at 800K and 600J of energy from a reservoir at 600K. 400J of heat is rejected to a reservoir at 400K and 1000J of work is done. I think that the process doesn't violate the first or second laws...

If I'm talking to someone about cmos sensors and they tell me one sensor is made in the .50um process (circa 2000) and the other sensor is made in the .35um process (circa 2004). What are they tell me about the cmos sensor? Are there any good books on manufacturing cmos sensors? thanks

Alright so I just wrote an AP physics test and one of the true or false questions was: A horse pulls a cart and the cart pulls back on the horse with the same force. Does the cart move? (the cart starts at rest) I said false because in order for an object to move it needs a net force but...

My group is currently working on design generation and selection. We have a just about all of it done and ready to go but we are unsure what the professor means by baseline. Here is what he wrote about it: Baseline refers to a set of design variables or expectations that you judge/compare...

Hey all, If i have an isothermal process of an ideal monotomic gas, IE. deltaT = 0 and i have an initial volume (V1) and an initial pressure (P1). Then I am given the work done BY the gas (W = -### as it is the environment providing the energy) How do i calculate the final volume and the...

Just wondering. I haven't been having problems with proofs, so far, but I'm interested in how people think about proofs. I feel I'm still far from ideal. There are some standard proofs, like when proving uniqueness which have all looked the same so far. There are also counting proofs, in which I...

How does this annihilation process play in semiconductors? Initially i thought that as long as the an electron gets enough energy to move into conduction band (in an energy diagram) - it will move and wander within the Conduction band. However, i have a slide notes about annihilation that talks...

I'm attempting to write a relatively simple method. It needs to search through a String for any characters that are not specifically 'A', 'I', 'O', and 'C', returning false if it runs across any other characters besides those four. The string I'm processing could be hundreds/thousands of...

Urgent!Isothermal process Hi guys. i have a very short question. In an isothermal process, change is temperature is zero, so change in internal energy is zero, thus Q=W. The part that i am confused is that if Q=mc(deltaT) then should be a change in temperature in the isothermal process? Thanks...

Hey. I'm supposed to calculate the work done in an adiabatic process, B-C, and I only know the values of the temperatures and the volume in the first point (point B). It is not known if it is a mono or diatomic gas, therefore i don't know the value of gamma. I've tried T*V^(gamma-1)=K and the...
