    Graduate A question about Vanadium dioxide smart window heating

    First of all, I do not know which question should be posted on which topic. Sorry for that. I am reading a few research papers related to VO2 smart window. The example papers that I am reading. 1. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.infrared.2019.103019 2. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2018.12.024 The...

    Should the Units of a Constant Match the Integral Boundary Conditions?

    Thank you for answering, I know that there are coefficients on the front of the polynomials but I just typed the very simple form of the equation by ignoring these coefficients (make it very easy to read and I'd like to focus on A and the unit of it) . Finally, the completely correct form of...

    Should the Units of a Constant Match the Integral Boundary Conditions?

    So, Do I have to change the unit of a constant to be the same? Thankyou very much.

    Should the Units of a Constant Match the Integral Boundary Conditions?

    I want to integrate this function ## \int_{0.8um}^{1.8um} A e^{B/E(x)} \, dx ## But A has a unit as ## 1/cm ##. Should I change ##1/cm## to ##1/um## by multiplying ##1/10^{4}## For this function, I decided to integrate using the online numerical integral, This side . I am just curious that...

    Show the number of arrangements that give an overall length of L = 2md

    I know ## L = 2md = (N_+ - N_-)d ## then ## 2m = N_+ - N_- ## So I can write ##N_+## and ##N_-## in term N and m I don't understand the factor 2 multiplying in front of N!/[(N_+)!(N_-)!] How does multiplication by the number "2" give a physical meaning?

    Heat transfer in thermodynamics

    I think because it is Water powered machine and Its only output is a single high-speed jet of water. so kinetic energy may be equal to heat energy. It could be inferred that 1/2mv^2 = delta Q So "v" is the speed of this machine.

    Heat transfer in thermodynamics

    In answering questions (a.) Why heat intake in this system is ## \Delta Q_{sys} = ( \Delta Q_{hot water} + \Delta Q_{cold water} ) / 2 ## where. ##\Delta Q_{hot water} = c(T_1 - T_f) ## ##\Delta Q_{cold water} = c(T_2 - T_f) ## I think T or T_f should be between T_1 and T_2 But why is the...

    Problem about dot product in probability density problem

    this is full solution http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~pgautam/wf/PHYS517/PHYS517HW1.pdf You can see this problem in problem 2b in above link I think ##A## is modulus of vector potential ##A = \sqrt(A^2)## and A is a vector quantities of vector potential vector A = A_x i + A_y j + A_zk

    Problem about dot product in probability density problem

    I don't understand why ? ## \Psi ∇ ⋅ (A \Psi^ *) + \Psi ^* ∇ ⋅ (A \Psi ) = 2 ∇ ⋅(A \Psi ^* \Psi) ## form ## ∇ ⋅ (fg) = ∇f ⋅ g + f(∇ ⋅ g) ## Attempt at a Solution ## \Psi ∇ ⋅ (A \Psi^ *) + \Psi ^* ∇ ⋅ (A \Psi ) = 2 ∇ ⋅ (A \Psi ^* \Psi) - ∇\Psi ^* ⋅ A\Psi - ∇\Psi ⋅ (A\Psi ^*) ##

    Undergrad Problem about uniform thin disk

    Why do they only think of kinetic energy of motion? Why don't they think of both kinetic of motion and kinetic of rolling energy? So. i think ## L = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I \omega^2## ## L = \frac{1}{2}m(r \omega)^2 + \frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{2}mr^2) \omega^2## ## L = \frac{3}{4} mr^2...
