Change in Internal Energy in Accelerated Gas Chambers

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on how internal energy changes in two toroidal gas chambers under angular acceleration, with one chamber featuring an adiabatic partition. Participants are seeking clarity on the insulation of the torus, the viscosity of the gas, and whether the comparison is qualitative. The problem involves calculating the change in internal energy per second for both chambers as they accelerate. There is an analogy drawn to linear motion in gas cabins during acceleration. The conversation highlights the need for a structured approach to begin the calculations.

Summary:: How internal energy changes in a acclerated cabin.

There are two tourus shaped insulated closed pipes containing equal amounts of ideal gas under same conditions.
B has a adiabatic partion wall.
If both are to change angular velocity by w radians per second.
How internal energies will change in both?

What are your thoughts on this so far? Is the torus insulated? Is the gas considered to have viscosity? is this supposed to be a qualitative comparison?

Sorry for hurridly writing the question .Here , w is angular acceleration of taurus w.r.t a perpendicular axis to plane of taurus through centre. Ignore viscus drag.
I need to calculate change in internal energy per second in both cases.
Not getting idea to start.
My basis of thinking is an analogous process in linear motion of a cabin of gas when the cabin gets acclerated linearly.

What is the exact word-for-word statement of this problem?
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
