Mixing Definition and 283 Threads

Hey guys! I am trying to show how singlet and triplet states mix via spin-orbit coupling, but I am having some trouble. I've gotten most of the way through, but I am stuck on how an operator works. Sadly, I think my poor basis in quantum is going to show right here. My starting point...

Two questions: 1.1. Homework Statement Steam at 100 °C is pumped into an insulating pot containing a mixture of ice and water at 0°C. There are 0.4kg of ice and 1.6kg of water in the pot. Assume there is no heat lost to the surroundings, how much steam (in kg) is needed so that all ice is just...

Hi I'm working on a project where I have a two flow controller controlling the volumetric flow rate (in the order of 0.01-0.1ml/min) of two different gases. The gases are mixed together and I'm wondering if there's a way to figure out the exiting volumetric flow rate of the combined flow and...

Concerning this paper: Stimulated generation of superluminal light pulses via four-wave mixing. I have two questions: 1) How can we check that information cannot be propagated faster than light with this system? 2) What is the meaning of the last sentense of this paper: Thanks

At work we use; Powder Bleach, ACTIVE INGREDIENT: Sodium Dochloroisocyanurate and A cleaning agent, ACTIVE INGREDIENT: Sodium Dodecylbenzene sulfonate These two chemicals are to be used separately but we have the sudden rumour that when mixed in a mop bucket it is significantly more...

Homework Statement http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/6641/problem2t.jpg The Attempt at a Solution I'm not sure how to approach this problem. I know of this equations for when they reach thermal equilibrium: T_f = \frac{C_1 T_{1,i} + C_2T_{2,i}}{C_1+C_2} And this for entropy change...

What would be the result of mixing helium, oxygen, germanium, nitrogen and uranium?

I sometimes have trouble with the concept of entropy being a driving force for work being done. For example, during osmosis you can raise the level of water on one side of a semipermeable membrane (i.e. do work) because the free energy of the system is minimized if there is a flow of solvent...

hi all, can anyone help me understanding what is the meaning of the mixing state of 2p and 2s? thanks in advance. when an electron in n=2 sate in a hydrogen atom, experience a external em field, then the degenerate states split into 3 classes, which are: 1/sqrt2( 210 + 200 ) with higher...

Heres the problem. I have a tap supplying water at 41°c and at a flow rate of 0.17 l/s. The tap is connected to a Termostatic Mixing Valve (TMV) with a hot and cold water supply. The hot water is at 60°c and the cold water is being supplied at 10°c. What are the flow rates for the hot...

Hello physics forums, I am writing a paper and I am wondering how to calculate the entropy of mixing in a two dimensional system. I am sure that entropy increases with mixing in a two dimensional system, but I do not know what equation to use. Would I just use the same equation as for 3-d...

I tried googling this topic and basically all I could find was sites saying they neutralise each other - I know that. But why is it that when you mix say a drop of pH 14 solution with a lot of pH 1 solution that they react rather violently and the acid sprays everywhere? If someone could maybe...

Homework Statement Two monatomic ideal gases are separated in a container by an impermeable wall, with volumes V_{1} and V_{2}, temperatures T_{1} and T_{2}, number of atoms N_{1} and N_{2}, and both are at the same, constant pressure P. The wall is then removed, and the pressure is continued...

Hi, When we consider the two neutrino mixing case, we have the matrix that converts between them as given below \begin{pmatrix} |v_{1}> \\ |v_{2}> \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} cos\theta & sin\theta \\ -sin\theta & cos\theta\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix} |v_{e}> \\ |v_{\mu}> \end{pmatrix}...

As an experiment I was going to investigate the use of a spectrophotometre as a pH meter by using different chemical indicators which should change colour depending upon the pH of the substance. I know that indicators such as bromthymol blue only experience a distict change in colour over a pH...

Two tanks, A and B, each contain 5K gal of water. To each tank 150 gal of a chemical should be added, but in error the entire 300 gal are poured into tank A. Pumps are set to work to circulate the liquid through the two tanks at the rate of 100 gal/min (a) How long will it take for tank A to...

Hi guys, I am designing a mixing box for different gases. Here is my plan: I will use Acrylic panels with the dimension of 30cm x 30cm x30cm. Two 3/4 inch pipes feed inflows at flow rate of 1300 LPM in total. The outlet is an rectangular opening of 8cm x 8cm. How can I define the pressure inside...

In the GWS electroweak model, there are two fundamental charges: weak hypercharge and the third component of weak isospin (henceforth referred to as hypercharge and isospin respectively). The gauge boson of hypercharge is the B0, and those of isospin are the W+, W0, and W-. The B0 and W0 mix...

Hi everyone, :smile: I was wondering why they only use 5th and 3rd groups elements to create n-type and p-type semiconductors respectively. Couldn't we mix 6th or 2nd groups' elements instead to make the semiconductors? What would happen if we do this? Perhaps elements of those groups will...

Useless explanation text: I'm building a shower system that uses motors to manually turn valves to adjust the temperature based on what the user sets I'm trying to develop a way for the system to preemptively predict what the temperature will be so it doesn't just say "Open hot valve a...

hi everyone, when antimony is added to germanium, antimony's atoms make covalent bonds with germanium. antimony has five valence electrons and germanium has four. there would be total 4 covalent bonds each consisting of 2 electrons. this would mean that there would be one extra from each...

Homework Statement A rigid insulated tank is separated into two rooms by a stiff plate. Room A of 0.5 m3 contains air at 250 kPa, 300 K and room B of 1 m3 has air at 150 kPa, 1000 K. The plate is removed and the air comes to a uniform state without any heat transfer. Find the final pressure...

Last night I experimented with glycerin, putting it in water to get the 'heat wave' look that results from a difference in refractive indexes. I forgot that glycerin is miscible in water, and after a little bit of agitation it all mixed into solution and the effect couldn't be seen anymore...

I have a situation like this: Where C is a air stream from a pipe, and A is the sky. Droplet will be made, and there will be fog. Now I have to calculate the amount of water leaving the air. In my book I found this equation: Qwater = Qdry.air.C * (xA - xC) But do it have to be...

what does "mixing under RG flow" mean? I'm trying to understand the language people use when they talk about RG flow. Here's what I understand: We have the RG flow equations governing the couplings' dependence on energy scale [tex]\mu {dg_i \over d\mu}=\beta(g_j)[\tex], and we can find the...

I have to mix 2 gases, Hydrogen and Nitrogen to achieve a constant flow of mixed gas with 100, 200... 1000 ppm of H2 in the mixture. I have mass flow meters to adjust the flow of each individual gas but how do I determine what they should read to achieve the desired ppm

Just learned about it recently, and I'm curious to understand more. The 'mixing' form of the paradox goes something like this: Imagine a box partitioned in the middle. The two partitions are the same volume. In each there is a gas, on one side labelled A, and on the other B. The are held at...

I am trying to figure out the following in my beer brewing. I have been able to find equations for mixing two quantities of water, but not three. Can anyone help me out here? So, I have 5 liters at 100 C and I want to add 18 liters (x at 20 C and y at 8 C) to arrive at 23 liters at 24 C. This...

when i mix red light and green light i get yellow light, but QED says that photons do not interact so why am i seeing yellow light, , I know they obey superposition , what does it mean for two photons two superimpose physically . how is the localized energy of the photons interacting .

So, this seemed most appropriate for this forum, as it's essentially a question about pumps, pressures, and fluid mechanics. The set up I have that this question pertains to; There are two pumps that have lines running to a T-joint with a small chamber to allow for mixing before exiting...

Hello folks - I hope this is the right area to post... I brew beer at home, and air, more correctly, the O2 in air causes oxidation and ruins beer. In order to prevent it, many home brewers use stainless steel containers that can be pressurised with CO2. The commonly accepted wisdom is that a...
