    B Standard model particle properties

    In the Standard Model, for any particle, I have only found properties related to electromagnetic and gravitational (in fact mass does not necessarily mean it is a property related to gravity, but to emergy)forces like charge and mass. Why there isn't anything about the other two interactions...

    Fluid Flow Loss Analysis Using Real Gas Properties

    I am trying to model fluid flow and losses through a component (e.g., pipe) using REAL GAS properties since 1) I have access to RefProp from NIST, and 2) I am dealing with refrigerants, which are far from ideal. I have seen nowhere an analysis of fluid flow losses (e.g., drag, friction...

    I Intrinsic or non-intrinsic properties

    As I understand it, the properties of a particle exist in superposition in the wave function until a measurement forces a the wave function to "collapse" to one possibility, and the particle continues to have that value for the property until it interacts again with something else. But for...

    I Bose-Einstein Condensate Properties

    So a Bose Einstein condensate is another state of matter at temperatures below those where a solid state exists. The temperature is reduced so much, that the quantum wave states overlap and become one single object. So what are the properties of this object? Is it more rigid than solids...

    A Understanding MASERs and their properties

    I've been reading Elitzur although with a number of questions, some likely too obvious that they aren't spelled out in the literature based on my searching. To ensure I understand some key details of masers, I thought I'd ask a few (simple) questions if that's all right. 1. Is there a maximum...

    I Commutator Properties: [A,B]C+B[A,C]=[A,B](C+B)?

    Given the property, [A,BC] = [A,B]C+B[A,C], is it true that, if B=C, then [A,B]C+B[A,C]=[A,B]C+B[A,B]=[A,B](C+B)? I apologize if I have posted in the wrong forum.

    What properties of waves causes the photoelectric effect

    What properties of waves caused the photoelectric effect to indicate the fact that light was quantized. Why couldn't it be explained by light waves being emitted at the same frequency. I am a little confused about why light couldn't still be a wave. Couldn't the photoelectric effect be explained...
