    Methanol Water
AI Thread Summary
To check for water in methanol gas, one can dip filter paper into the fuel and observe the evaporation rate, as methanol evaporates faster than water. If water is present, it can be removed using specific adsorbers designed for this purpose. Running a vehicle on high water content methanol can lead to decreased performance. For accurate assessment, bringing samples for analysis is recommended, and any contaminated fuel should be reported to the gas station. Ensuring the quality of methanol gas is crucial for optimal vehicle operation.

if i buy a "gas dryer" methanol. how can i check to see if it has water in it?
and if it has water can it be removed?

- You can feel your car weaker if running on high water content gas (MeOH)
- I have not checked, but MeOH evaporates much better than H2O. You can dip a filter paper into the gas and see how fast it evaporates
- One way to remove H2O out of MeOH is to use some kinds of adsorbers

* The best way is to bring samples for analysis and then fine the gas station
 

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Average velocity as a weighted mean'

Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds? Best regards, DaTario

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?
