russ_watters replied to the thread Expansion or compression -- which is more energy efficient?.So, are these the processes? I really don't like guessing, but.... Gas in the cylinder starts at atmospheric pressure and room... -
russ_watters replied to the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?.It wasn't a complaint specific to your post, it was just a disclaimer for the conversation. Whether that's something in your head or not...

russ_watters replied to the thread Expansion or compression -- which is more energy efficient?.I get your overall goal, but you are not fully describing your cycles. Are you saying it's closed, not open? Did I miss where you...

Like.
From the OP: If I understand correctly, you seem to claim that both scenarios give the same amount of cooling for different work... -
russ_watters replied to the thread Expansion or compression -- which is more energy efficient?.Usually thermodynamic cycles are described with simple statements of the involved processes. @T C you are leaving out steps in your...

The cooling you are talking about is an isochoric process (a vertical line on the PV diagram, going up). You failed to mention this...

You will have to use clearer language to make sure everyone follows. For example: You specified in the OP that the process is adiabatic...

russ_watters replied to the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?.Note to start, that "our existing laws don't punish corporations enough" is a very different complaint than "our existing laws wouldn't...

I'd think a civil suit against OpenAI much more likely than a criminal one.

I'm in the same boat. I found a little more meat on the bones in the below link...

russ_watters replied to the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?.That says they have opened an investigation and are looking for something that might violate this: "Florida law states that anyone who...

As you noted, it depends on the person and experiences. My dad was not on the front lines or flying in one of the bombers, so his...

That is also an isobaric compression, requiring more work. Do you mean like an isothermal expansion? Where both work is released and...

It is not clear which processes (isochoric, isobaric, isentropic, isothermal) you are using to cool and depressurize the fluid in the...

russ_watters replied to the thread Expansion or compression -- which is more energy efficient?.Without checking your math, please note that your first case doesn't consume/input mechanical work it outputs mechanical work. The gas...
