Just a question How does solving the nonlinear schrodinger equation using split step Fourier method makes us understand the four wave mixing process in optical fiber ? Any examples on how that happens Thank you

Hi, everyone! I have a question: if we quickly fill a cylinder with steam from one end and with hot air from another end, both at atmospheric pressure and equal volume, with hot air 4 times hotter than steam, and then immediately seal that cylinder -- will pressure change as steam and hot air...

Good Morning I loved the idea of four wave mixing in an optical fiber and how by satisfying phase matching condition you get a broad bandwidth but I want to know why am I interested in a large bandwidth why do I want to think about even enlarge it more? Thank you

Why there no change in volume and enthalpy of solution when two components are mixed

I am trying to understand what the author means by the attachment (the underlined phrase). In my understanding if the masses were equal I should have: \frac{1}{(p^{2}-m^{2}+i \epsilon)^{2}} \sum_{ij} U^{d_{L}}_{di} U^{d_{L} \dagger}_{is}U^{d_{L}}_{dj} U^{d_{L} \dagger}_{js} why is the...

Hi All, This is a question on ergodic theory - not quite analysis, but as close as you can get to it, so I decided to post it here. Suppose I have a compact metric space $X$, with $([0,1], B, \mu)$ a probability space, with $B$ a (Borel) sigma algebra, and $\mu$ the probability measure...

Here is the question: I have posted a link there to this thread so the OP can find my work.

Hi all. I'm trying to help a friend work a differential equation problem since I've already taken this course and gotten an A in it, but this other problem has me a little confused. The book is ODE's by Tenenbaum and Pollard, chapter 3 lesson 15a number 2. #1) Tank initially holds 100...

Hello, I'm looking for some changes of energy states of particles, as two gases are mixing together without total volume changing. That would explain increasing entropy better than their position combination. I know the particle energy states are getting more closely (the band gaps are reducing)...

Hello, Having trouble with one quirk to this mixing tank problem: All large mixing tank initially holds 300 gallons of water, with 50 lbs of salt already in it (initial value problem). A brine solution of 2 lb/gal is pumped in at 3 gallons per minute. The water is pumped out at the faster...

In a tea shop one mixes two different kinds of tea to get a new flavor. One of the kinds costs 135kr/kg, the other costs 168kr/kg. How large amounts of each kind have you taken if the mixture costs 150kr/kg? I tried setting up this equation system: 135x + 168y = 150 x+y=1 but I don't think it...

I have two streams at controlled flow rates that will mix via an inline static mixer. Both streams will have check valves before the mixer, however, do I have to worry about fighting pressures in this situation? If the one stream is 40 psi and the other is only 20 psi, will the 20 psi line...

Why is the mixing of ethanol and water exothermic? Because unless there's a reaction I'm thinking by the law of conservation of energy the total energy of the bonds should remain the same before and after. Because considering hydrogen bonds, the total number of bonds is dependent on the...

Hi Can anyone point me to a clear description of line mixing/"cross-relaxation" in atomic/molecular spectra? Every paper I read assumes some previous knowledge, is there an online resource that will explain why two transition would mix? I'm specifically looking for conceptual explanation...
