I don't disagree with your statement, the last part.
"How much higher its temperature can get before burning out is what needs to be addressed."
Is what I'm confused by simply from the standpoint that the melting point of the heater is 2500 Kelvin, therefore the gas around the element...
My guess is the heater would stay at whatever temp that's equivalent to 500 w and the gas in the container would start to go above 2500 kelvin, but I'm sort of lost as to how to explain this using only convection; the average electron temps would definitely increase over 2500k.
Let's imagine that the heater would only stay on at 2500k. The reason I ask this is because of the experiment at UW call the http://plasma.physics.wisc.edu/viewpage.php?id=mpdx experiment. They use LaB6 as the heating element with a max temperature around 2500k and in the Madison experiment they...
This is just a qualitative question but feel free to show an equation if possible.
Basically if you have a container with a heating element, let's say 500 W with a temperature of 2500 Kelvins and inside this box is a low pressure ideal gas, something like 1/100 of an atmosphere. Also imagine...
Oh no, forgot to mention the black area would be a solid like steel or something. The Pressure for P_in would be due to a gas like air and the grey area would be a solid too like steel or wood.
I have two images below.
This is a single piston with pressure inside, the variables are as listed.
P_in = 2700 Pa.
P_out = 0 Pa.
R1 = Radius 1 = 10 cm.
R2 = Radius 2 = 5 mm.
P_contact = ?
My solution to P_contact is as follows.
Area A1 of piston at R1 = .0314m^2 and area A2 at R2 =...
It's loosely based on astronomy, actually mostly astrophysics, I assume you know that the Saha equation is used for solar spectroscopy, albeit not for argon gas. Its fine if you move it but I cannot see an other category that would fit this question better which is why I choose this forum.
This question is in regards to the degeneracy of states for an Argon atom with just one missing electron. For hydrogen the problem of finding the partition function depends on finding the the ionized state of hydrogen divided by the non-ionized state...
(please see Saha equation ->...
Really simple question but it's been making me a little confused.
Lets imagine we have a container (cubic with length of 1 meter) with a pressure of 1 Pascal and then an area inside the container of 1 mm^2 is chosen to measure the force on that area, what would the pressure be? 1 Pascal or...
Would C = T - T_o instead? That would make more sense.
And then LN C (or LN(T - T_o) ) at t = 0 would be the integrating factor?
Right, I know I'm computing \int \frac{dT}{T-T_0} but is it correct in the book or am I right. I used Derive 6 and I got a different answer after integration...
I have a book called REA 's problem solvers: Differential Equations Year 2004 and the problem 12-14 on page 244 might have problems with it and I want to ask to see if anyone else thinks so.
The problem is basically Newton's cooling where they ask to find
T - T_o = (T_i - T_o) e^(-kt)...
I made some changes to the code and I think I solved it but I'm not sure the solution makes sense. Basically I create a Gaussian pulse function with
width (standard deviation) = 0.247
height = 1;
position = .78
the actual width of the Gaussian is 1.55 from tail to tail and I divide that...
Here you go! this program creates a 2 dimensional array using an std::vector which is then filled with the array indices and printed. Finally its deleted on program exit.
