Chamber Definition and 225 Threads

:mad:Homework Statement A vertical cylinder of cross-sectional area .07 m^2 is fitted with a tight-fitting, frictionless piston of mass 30 kg. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^s. If there are 1 mol of an ideal gas in the cylinder at 395 K, find the pressure inside the cylinder. (Assume...

Just thinking here. What would happen if you had two pieces of something that connect perfectly and form a chamber of air inside. Then you took all the air out to make a perfect vacuum. Now if you were to pull the sides would it break apart. I don't understand how there would be a perfect...

I'm conducting a cloud chamber experiment using: Jar (black lid) Felt(black) Methylated Spirits (96% ethanol) Water Cobalt 60 Dry Ice Concentration about 50-50 with the spirits and water then soaked the felt. Using a projector which produces heat to main a temperature gradient. So far...

I want to build a cloud chamber. I have tried one approach for which I found directions online. Unfortunately it didn't work out for me. In short, I used an empty pickle jar with felt glued into the bottom of the jar. I poured in 91% Isopropyl alcohol to saturate the felt. I screwed the...

On a recent thread about cloud chambers, a question popped into my head. My knowledge of cloud chambers is that one can see the "path" of certain elementary particles as they pass through the chamber. If, say, we had an electron passing through the chamber, do we have to assume that the...

I was talking to a friend the other day and they were telling me about some smoke chamber device. Apparently a 10 gallon chamber can be filled with smoke and some kind of "ray" would pass through the chamber and carve out a path in the smoke. Does anyone know anything about this? Do you...

hi there, can someone tell me where can i get a good information for a Streamer Chamber particle detector, i'd tried googling and still can't find a good one for my assignment. thanks in advance :smile:

Ok, according to Wikipedia, Tetraoxygen forms at 20 GPa and turns into a metallic form at 96 GPa. Elsewhere on the web I read that (someone) has tested this solid oxygen at up to 120 GPa which is over 17 million PSI! So what kind of container would you need to hold that together? How thick...

hey guys , i am studying about the old combustion chambers. i came across the L head combustion chamber and am confused about the exact position of the spark plug.so please help me out of this.

I've been working on this question for quite a while and I've tried several methods with no success. I am no where near confident in my method and I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. The question is: A 16.5 cm diameter circular cover is placed over a 8.0 cm...

Hello everyone, in the 1910's Wilson build the very first cloud chamber based on watervapour and adiabatic decompression. With this device you can see radiation from radioactive materials and cosmic rays. For a description see...

Does anybody know where I would be able to view a video of a wilson cloud chamber being used? I need to view one for homework. cheers

My aerospace application requires a very lightweight vacuum chamber. Could you rotate a cylindrical chamber about its vertical axis to provide outward pressure to support the pressure of the air? How fast would it have to rotate to provide an outward pressure of 15 lbs./sq. in.? The initial...

For this experiment, you don't have to go into the lab. I thought it would be a breeze but I was wrong. The problem I'm having is collecting the data. The figures given are to be used to find the data but I don't know what I'm looking at and how to find the tan planes. Is there someway to...

So I need to build a cloud chamber for a physics project and I have no idea where to start. I need it to be simple but not too simple so that it actually looked like I put some effort into it. Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated. I am very very desperate.

I've encountered a problem designing an experiment. How is it that the temperature of a closed pressurized container/ pressure chamber can be measured using a thermocouple. Also, in the experiment, the temperature of the air in the chamber has to be varied. How can that be carried out? Where...

Why don't neutral particles leave tracks in the bubble chamber? How is the bubble formed, is it condensation around ionised hydrogen, or around the particles?

i don't know how to do this...nothing comes to mind. any help will be appreciated! A pressure as low as 4×10-11Pa has been obtained. Suppose a chamber contains helium at this pressure and at temperature 380K. Estimate the collision time (tau) for helium in the chamber. Take the diameter of...

Hi, does anyone know anything about reverberation chambers? specifically does anyone know about the industry standards, a camparason between SAE J1113/27 GM 9120P GM 3100GS GM 9114P or any other standards which allow for a 2 -> 3Ghz operation would be helpful, thanks

I need to melt a small quantity (probably less than a cubic centimeter) of a substance at around 200°C in the most uniform way possible and I'd like to have your ideas about how to heat it. Using easily accessible stuff would be better. I've thought of controlling a soldering iron with a...

Hello, I've a fysical problem. A small container (about 10x10x15cm) has a source which releases hydrogen at a small rate. The container has an small oppening 30mm^2. The question is how fast does the hydrogen diffuse to the outside of the container. I've made simmulation (see...

Hi all ! I'm currently studying time projection chambers and I am wondering how the energy of the incident particle (the one that ionizes the gas in the drift chamber) is calculated from the measured signals. Does anyone have some hints for me ? Thanks a lot for your answers. Best regards

Does anyone know where to find some high quality bubble chamber photos? Any information would be appreciated.

And we call ourselves "civilized". I say get rid of all of them. A Government has no business executing its' Citizens, for any reason.

[?] I'm thinking of building a simple cloud chamber in order to detect small particles such as muons, neutrinos, and the like. I have read some handbooks but I would be grateful if someone could lend me a hand by providing some instructions. I only have three months to prepare this so I need the...
