Coupling Definition and 355 Threads

sorry I am going slightly off the topic. <<Moderator's note: split off from this thread.>> I asked this question because I'm studying a paper concerning the presence of spin orbit coupling at the interface between two metals. This is the part of the paper I'm studying: "Our aim is to...

I have read in the internet that "One naturally derive the dirac equation when starting from the relativistic expression of kinetic energy: ##\mathbf H^2=c^2\mathbf P^2 +m^2c^4## where ##\mathbf P## is the canonical momentum. Inclusion of electric and magnetic potentials ##\phi## and ##A## by...

Is it possible to couple a thermal hydraulics code with a kinetics one ? , main purpose is to study the behaviour of kinetics due to a LOCA or any other changes regarding the coolant/moderator flow " talking about a PWR " .

Most QFT texts, such as Peskin&Schroeder and D. Tong's lecture notes, contain a mention that the renormalizability of an interacting theory requires the coupling constants to have correct dimensions, making scalar fields with ##\phi^5 , \phi^6, \dots## interactions uninteresting. Maybe there are...

I use a 2" coupling to mount my DSLR on the scope. However, I have an 90 degree mirror angle in the 1.25" size, and would like to use it sometimes for convenience getting my eye on the viewfinder/lcd screen. I was wondering what drawbacks, if any, there were in stepping down the diameter of...

Greetings everyone! I have been a long-time lurker on here and have just recently signed up. I'm unsure if this was the correct forum to post this in, so I apologize in advance. My question isn't exactly homework per se - I am currently studying for my MCAT and have been trying to wrap my head...

Hi, I can't find my inductance calculations book. Say that you were considering magnetic flux linkage more from a geometric perspective: -Does the mutual coupling coefficient for a series of coils all on the same steel core add up to a maximum total of ~1? Because I tried simulating a three...

Hi, I have a couple of questions regarding re-wiring a three phase transformer. Say you have a three phase TX with a ratio of 415:22 and you want to use it as a single phase step-up TX (excite it with a variac or something), this is a thought-experiment. If you excited only the middle leg of...

Hi! According to the book "Renewable Energy on Power Systems" by Freris & Infield, the voltage rise due to injection of power in pcc can be estimated from the Thevenin equivalent representing the network "upstream" pcc (Figure 1). The Thevenin voltage can be taken as the nominal voltage in the...

I was looking at grotrian diagrams for helium and I see that there is no splitting of energy levels due to spin-orbit coupling. In my book it is said that spin-orbit coupling in helium is small and can be neglected but no further explanation is given. At the same time we do spin-spin coupling...

I want to couple white noise to a communication cable. I am using a 50/5A CT. My idea is to connect the noise in the secondary and to couple that noise into the cable. I want to know will my idea work? Does the CT what I am using will be suitable?

Hi there. I have an idea which is interesting. Let's suppose, we have AC generator which has capability of 100 KW and 100 RPM. And we have hydraulic motor which produces 500 RPM and 2400 Nm torque. Additionally, I attach 5:1 gearbox for reducing 500 RPM to 100 RPM for Ac generator. Please, share...

So I've read that at sufficiently high energies, photons will interact with each other rather than passing through each other in the usual ghostly ways. So in these situations, is constructive/destructive interference still possible? What is the threshold where it might stop, for practical...

Good evening everyone! Given that I have no experience in antenna physics or related areas, I'm studying a paper for a project I will be involved. It is an image sensor for THz e.m. waves and exploits micro-bowtie antennas to "capture" the signal and convert it through a standard CMOS imager...

I'm not clear on whether the coupling constant for strange to antidown is modified in the same way as for strange to down, i.e. multiplied by ##\sin(\theta_C)##. And are the coupling constants of interactions mediated by Z also dependent on the Cabibbo angle? And what happens if you have say a...

When I Google this, I find nothing straight forward. What is "force coupling" and what is "force decoupling"? Here are things I've found online that don't seem to match up. I see that a "force couple" is a way of applying force to a body so as to generate spin without causing translation...

Why is the coupling constant of the Higgs potential not a constant, but is a running constant? In other words, ##\lambda (h) \sim \lambda_{0} - \frac{y_{t}}{16\pi^{2}}\text{ln}\big(\frac{h^{2}}{m^{2}}\big) + \frac{\lambda_{0}^{2}}{16\pi^{2}}\text{ln}\big(\frac{h^{2}}{m^{2}}+\cdots##, where...

How do I determine the value of a blocking capacitor for say this circuit: What I mean is, sure Cin must behave like a short circuit at working frequency, but something tells me there is more to the choice of a coupling capacitor than this.

I have an inquiry about how to make a system coupling between mechanical and electrical system in ANSYS program.

Hi everyone. I've got some doubts about the interpretation of the running coupling. I'll expose to you some of the results and comments i read in the lectures notes of my QFT professor. As an example, we are studying ##\phi^4## and the 4-point amplitude accounting for the next to leading order...

In Fluent, there are several 'pressure-velocity coupling' algorithms. Why are these necessary when, in many fluid mechanics textbooks, it is proposed that for incompressible fluids, an equation for Pressure can be found by taking the divergence of the Navier-Stokes equation, and inverting using...
