    What is constitutional undercooling?

    Homework Statement What is constitutional undercooling? What are it's effects? Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution Undercooling is when the liquid has a below freezing temperature. However konstituntial undercooling occurs during solidification when the liquid is brought to freezing...

    Solve Diffusion Homework Problem: Vacancy Concentration at 687K

    Thanks for the response. would dividing Q by Avogadro's number to get Q (kJ/atom) work? Boltzman constant is actually j/k*atom right? so the units would match then.

    Stiffness Stress Tensor Question

    Does the question not ask to calculate it? Why can I not calculate E and V with a system of equations given the matrix and the c values? C11=(E(1+v))/((1+v)(1-2v)) and I can make similliar equations for C12 and C44. Also how did you calculate the anisotropic factor if I did not supply the C...

    When can the velocity gradient be set to zero?

    As I understand the velocity gradient is the velocity that the layers of a fluid move in respect to each other. The divergence of the velocity is kind of the total rate of change of the field, since it is a sum of the components partial derivatives.

    When can the velocity gradient be set to zero?

    Thank you, so if the fluid is incompressible the layers do not have a velocity towards each other? If it was compressible the fluid layers would be able to compress towards each other?

    When can the velocity gradient be set to zero?

    Homework Statement An experimentalist has measured the u-velocity component of a two-dimensional flow field. It is approximated by u = (1/3)( xy) (y^2) It is also known that the v-velocity is zero along the line y=0. Homework Equations ∇V=du/dx+dv/dy (partial derivatives) The Attempt at a...

    Specific Exergy vs Specific Flow Exergy

    Flow exergy just means that exergy is flowing in or out. It might just be more relevant to substitute h for u+pv because that could be more relevant for an exergy flow analysis. Not sure, they are mathematically equivalent though, its just a matter of definition.

    Why does a gas behave as ideal if the Isotherm and Isenthelp

    Homework Statement Why does a gas behave as ideal if the Isotherm and Isenthalp are parallel. Homework Equations h=u+pv T1=T2, P1V1=P2V2 The Attempt at a Solution [/B] h1=u1+p1v1, h2=u2+p2v2 h2=h1 so u1+p1v1=u2+p2v2 and p1v1=p2v2 Does that mean internal energy for an ideal gas is zero? I...
