AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on combining the advective transport equations for two solutes, C1 and C2, into a single equation representing the ratio of their concentrations over time. The user seeks assistance in applying the chain rule or quotient rule to derive the equation d(C1/C2)/dt. However, some participants argue that it is not feasible to combine the equations in this manner and suggest that the concentrations should be solved separately instead. The conversation highlights the complexities involved in manipulating transport equations for multiple solutes. Ultimately, the consensus leans towards addressing the solutes individually rather than attempting to combine them.

I want to combine the advective transport equation for two solutes such that

dC1(z)/dt=D(d2C1(z)/dz2)-v dC1(z)/dz + J1

and

dC2(z)/dt=D(d2C1(z)/dz2)-v dC2(z)/dz + J2

where C is the concentration in the fluid, t = time, z = distance, v = velcity, D = dispersion coefficient, and J is a flux term for C to the fluid

I want to combine to yield

d(C1/C2)/dt = ?

I can't work out the specific form of the chain rule or quotient rule I need to use... can anyone please help me? Be most appreciated!

I don't think that that can be done. One must solve for the concentrations separately.
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
