lost captain posted the thread Undergrad Difference calculating enthalpy change by using thermodynamic table A-17 vs. A-2 with integration in Thermodynamics.Let's say i want to find the change in enthalpy of air from 400K to 800K. The most accurate way is to use the table A-17.(see picture)... -

Like.
Suppose the pressure of the gas was a result of the weight of a mass resting on the (frictionless ) piston. And all forces are in... -
lost captain replied to the thread Undergrad Is a half submerged object submerged in its own displaced water?.If i understand correctly from the answers above, i can't figure out how much water was displaced from the volume markings unless the...

I think the problem here is that water cannot be beside a "tight fitting" piston - it just teleports from below the piston to above it...

As you lower the object, the bottom meets the water at 4.0 . An instant later, it has displaced one drop of water, that has half filled...

lost captain replied to the thread Undergrad Is a half submerged object submerged in its own displaced water?.Okay so the volume of the water that got displaced goes up to the 4.5ml mark even though only a small portion of the volume of the...

lost captain replied to the thread Undergrad Is a half submerged object submerged in its own displaced water?.I submerge half of the piston and 0.5ml of water gets displaced on top, so where am I making a mistake?

Maybe you should be measuring the submergence relative to the bottom of the object, and the surface of the water, not the top of the...

lost captain replied to the thread Undergrad Is a half submerged object submerged in its own displaced water?.When the object is half submerged, i am measuring that from the bottom of the object. And if I'm measuring from the surface of the...
