Chamber Definition and 225 Threads

sorry if this has been discussed before but I've not had much luck finding anything on the forum search. Basically I am interested in the potential technology behind a time stasis chamber - a pod or something similar that would allow humans to travel great distances in space without them ageing...

Why can't I have a neutral particle come into a cloud chamber and leave a track? I was reading about cloud chambers and it says when the charged particle comes in it ionizes the vapor in the chamber. But why couldn't a neutron come in and ionize the particles in the chamber with its kinetic...

Hi I was wondering if someone could help me with this question. Question 4 uploaded in picture. Ok, so far this is what I have found Pipe 1: m1=2kg/s P1=1000kpa T1=100 C h1=334.82kJ/kg Pipe 2: sat-liquid T2=60 C P2= 1000kpa h2=291.36KJ/kg Outlet: sat vapor P3=1000kpa V=20...

Hi group, I work at Thermal Vacuum Chamber, and we had an incident last night where our chamber, Which is 70' H x 30' D, was pumped down to a pressure of 3.7E-7. There was a release of gas into the chamber abruptly last night that caused the pressure in the chamber to rise to 5.0E-7, before it...

hey, I need all the help i can get on this one... can u guys tell me if there is any device that can be used instead of an ordinary fuel injector since i want it to be able to inject an air-fuel mixture. since the normal injector can't inject air i desperately need another device...

In the cylindrical chamber, the voltage is applied to a very thin wire, a few mills of an inch in diameter, stretched axially at the center of the cylinder. The cylinder wall is usually grounded. The electric field is, in this case, E=\frac{V_{0}}{Ln(b/a)r} where a = radius of the central...

Homework Statement when a charged particle enters a magnetic field in a cloud chamber, why does it move in a circular path instead of straight line? I have no idea why. please help Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution it has something to do with the r changing? as I said...

An alpha-particle produced by radioactive decay leaves a visible continuous track in a Wilson Cloud Chamber. As it collides with and ionizes the molecules of the vapor, its position is constantly being “measured” by the vapor molecules. If a magnetic field is present, its track will be curved...

Dear all: I want to make a chamber as O2-free. The chamber is not perfectly sealed, so it has some small holes. I have used N2 gas (by pumping N2 from one input and escaping of O2 from holes in junctions). Now, I want to measure the amount of remaining O2 inside chamber. How can I do that? Is...

Hello. I am trying to find the thrust chamber flow velocity for a rocket engine, but no literature seems to be able to come up with a solution for this. The best I have found is "Rocket Propulsion Elements" which states that the value probably lies somewhere between 200-400 ft/sec. But in...

OK I know many people here are familiar with cloud chambers particularly those of you who are teaching. I have never built one but I want to go all out on my first attempt. I have seen plenty of instructions from researching through google and I was wondering if you guys have any additional tips...

Gday all I am currently supercharging a 1000cc 4 cylinder motorcycle of mine, i am up to the stage of designing the plenum chamber, as usual there are heaps of designs yet not much in the way of actuall theory and mathematics on how these people came up with them. Who knows if all they did was...

Hi, I'm not sure if I've got this in the right section, but I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm trying to create a model of what's actually happening during the combustion cycle in an engine and where the energy is going. As the intake valve closes and the piston...

I have built a nice biomass gasifier that produces about 700,000 btu's of heat per hour by burning or flaring the gas that comes out of it. What I want to do is, to flare the gas in an enclosed chamber so I would be able to capture all the exhaust and run it through some heat exchangers for...

why does fission chamber start to work from neutron fluxes more than source range in spite of being a kind of ionization chamber that is sensitive to gamma rays?

Hi! Let's say I have a bubble chamber and a particle traveling in it. I know the trajectory of the particle, because I can see the bubbles. But if I measure the time elapsed between the appearance of the first bubble and of the last one, I know how much time the particle took to follow the...

Were there any attempts to setup double/single slit experiment inside a gas chamber, bubble chamber or similar, so that particle trajectories would leave visible trails? This seem to be the easiest way to figure out what exactly is going on, but internet search returned no result about any such...

Has this type of experiment ever been performed? Firing electrons one at a time we can easily get the which-path information and see if interference dissapears or not. What actually happens? Also, if we do the double slit experiment with a usual laser but in a smoked environment (in order to...

Here's the basic setup: A cathode ray tube is producing an electron beam which leads into a chamber. Would it be possible to put some sort of lens at the entrance of the chamber, so as to diffuse the electrons throughout said chamber. Just to be clear, my main question is about the lens...

http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~adf4/cloud.html" Has anyone tried this? It looks really cool, and I am thinking about giving it a shot, but I'd like to know how easy it is to get it working, or if there are any other things I should know. One thing I am concerned about is the directions say...

i 'd like to ask abt the difference between precombustion chamber and compression chamber which used in diesel engines (indirect injection)??

Even if they have kinetic energy, neutral particles don't leave tracks behind. Why is that so? Also, can someone please explain how a cloud chamber works? Thanks!

This is NOT a "problem", it's a rather a question. Let's say I've got a vacuum chamber, and I suck the air out of it using a vacuum pump that is capable of doing -200 Kpa. Let's also say that there is a valve on this chamber. After a full vacuum has reached, I open this valve WHILE the pump is...

If someone had a superstrong chamber that could withstand anything (hypothetically) if they constantlty fed the correct materials at the correct state into the chamber could they create a mini self sustaining star?

are antimatter particles the explanation for why particles in a bubble chamber seam to disappear? I've read some on antimatter and supposedly some of it's been contained, how do they know what they have is antimatter? so many things theyre all confusing

I have to design a chamber where a range of small pressure vessels can be safely pressure tested. They range up to around 10 litres in capacity and are tested at 45 barg. The vessel is a thick wall tube with two domed end caps welded construction. I would like some guidance on how to calculate...

An electron enters a cloud chamber which has a magnetic field B but the path of the electron is not perpendicular to the magnetic field. I understand that the electron path will describe a spiral. Does the v in the equation F = q(v x B) refer to the component of the electron's velocity which is...

Homework Statement A chamber has water entering horizontally with a velcoity of 80m/s with an inlet of an area of 0.1m^ and leaving through an opening of area 0.15m^2. The exiting flow makes an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the entering flow. What force is needed to hold the chamber in...

We will not get an interference right? Why? Because the electron interacts with the system? Or the "measurement" forces the wave function to collapse? What if we put a black cloth on the chamber and only see the photographic film? What if we place the chamber before the slits. What if we bring...

Does anyone have view windows which they installed on their combustion chamber? My team and I are going to install quartz windows on 304 stainless steel, and so far the coefficients of thermal expansion look really different. We are also debating on the shape of the windows. Any hints would...

Hello! I was wondering how I could make a pressure chamber to aid some chemical reactions? The higher the pressure I'd be able to put into the better, although I am not really concerned as I don't particually have anything in mind. I'd probably like to be able to heat it up a bit - if the...
