Homework Statement 4. An inventor would like to patent a thermodynamic device and is making the following claims: The device can accept a stream of gas and split it into a hot and cold jet of the same gas. This device is said to contain no moving parts, consumables, or power supply...

I hate to discourage anyone from doing science ("Stand Back!" indeed), but this goes a bit too far. While I admire his enthusiasm, if I lived next to this guy I'd be concerned.

I've been contemplating an experiment on a 1-dimensional system which would require a single light source to be split into two separate sources which are exactly out of phase with each other. The idea is to focus the beams near each other (but not overlapping) along the 1D object. Any phonons...

When the light enters calcite it is splitting in two rays perpendicular polarized to each other ordinary and extraordinary,right?But then which ray is perpendicular to the optic axis and which are parallel.I do not understand this because some books say ordinary wave is perpendicular and...

Hello all: I'm a thermodynamicist wanting to get into transport modeling. In my reading, I have come across "operator splitting." I'm confused about exactly what this means in the context of transport modeling. This is probably a silly question, but does it refer to an advective term...

Hi everyone, i have a doubt regarding XPS, i read that a doublet is formed, for example in argon when an electron from 2p orbital leaves and leads to the formation of 2p 3/2 and 2p 1/2 states, and an electron with slightly lesser energy than one in the 2p orbital is emitted, giving rise to...

In MWI does everytime something splits it splits into an infinite number of worlds? Can something continue to split forever? If MWI is true does this mean for example that every proton in effect consists of an infinite number of indistinguishable protons and that every person consists of...

Is hyperfine splitting the same as polarization? If not, what's the difference? Thanks.

I have no idea why my working is incorrect. This is my starting equation: v1/5.8k + (v1 - 2.3)/2.4k = 2/k From there, I got v1 = 5.02 V and i0 = 1.13 mA To check my answer, I run a simulation on PSPICE, but it returned v1 = 5.8 V and i0 = 1mA Essentially, the current splits equally at node...

Hydrogen Fusion = High energy? Where does the energy come from when a Hydrogen atom is fused? Is the energy stored in some part (proton, neutron, electron)? Thank you if someone can give me some idea about this. I guess it is about the strong nuclear force, but I'd like to know in a bit more...

If the strong force is what is used to describe the attraction in the atomic nucleus, how is it possible to split atoms without them constantly re-pairing? a free charge doesn't seem like it would exist due to the strong force. I'm missing something right?

Uranium nitride rips the hydrogen atoms off a carbon atom -- but unfortunately, the UN is destroyed in the process. http://news.discovery.com/tech/uranium-nuclear-power.html I don't why is considered new, since UN has been around for more than 25 years. It was considered for compact...

What happens when you split an electron? I heard that, if you took an electron ( say it had a charge of 1 ), and you split it (how would you do this, anyway?), would the two new electrons created (if that is what happens, if not what happens?) have charges of 1/2 and 1/2 respectively?

I am studying a little about QED in a cavity. I don't really understand Vacuum Rabi splitting. The way I see it, it is the effect on a cavity's transmission spectrum of an atom (or quantum dot) inside the cavity. Well, this leads to two questions: 1) why is the cavity's transmission spectrum...
