Equilibrium temperature Definition and 46 Threads

The total variation of internal energy states ##\Delta U_{tot} = 0## ##\Delta U_{tot} = \Delta U_{ext} + \Delta U_{gas} + \Delta U_{obj}## with: ##\Delta U_{ext} = Q_{ext} - W_{ext} = -W_{ext}## ##\Delta U_{gas} = Q_{gas} - W_{gas} = Q_{gas} - ( - W_{ext} ) = Q_{gas} + W_{ext}## ##\Delta U_{obj}...

I have been searching for the answer yet – as I'm here – didn't find it. The current model of climate warming says the lower parts of Earth's atmosphere don't allow the IR radiation to escape freely to the outer space because the GH gas molecules keep absorbing it virtually as soon as it's been...

Hi... i want to draw Equilibrium curve for SO2 oxidation to SO3, i found following relations but don't know to use them... kindly tell me how to draw Equilibrium curve using these equations or any source on web from where i can get directly SO2 oxidation data Vs Temp? Equations are following...

If there weren't phase changes occurring I know that the temperature equilibrium would be ##T_e=\frac{m_{ice}c_{ice}T_{ice}+m_{w}c_{w}T_{w}}{m_{ice}c_{ice}+m_{w}c_{w}}##. Now, by repeating the reasoning to get the above formula (##\sum \Delta Q=0##) and adding the phase changes of the water...

I believe it is just an arithmetic medium, but I am not sure. Could someone explain to me?

First I found partition functions of both the systems and hence total energies of them using above formulas. Z(A) = (1 - e-ε/kT)-1 and Z(B) = (1 + e-ε/kT) Then I equated these values to the given values of total energies. I got: For System A, T(A) = ε/kln(2) > 0 For System B, T(B) =...

So i had this problem and I want a rigourous solution. The answer should be : Tmin=(I/sigma)^(1/4) and Tmax=(sqrt(3I)/sigma)^1/4

That's how far I've gotten and now I'm stuck!
