hey there, I was asked to write a paper on the physics of beverage containers for a prof, and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas/references i could look up?
I will be discussing different types of beverage holders (cans, glass and plastic bottles, styrofoam cups, mugs, beer kegs ect) and my current area of interest is in thermal insulation. I will also be discussing the geometry of the containers, and the ability of a particular container to undergo stress without breaking depending on its shape and material.
If anyone has any suggestions or information please share! thank you!

Thread 'Condensate rate of water for an air conditioning cooling coil'

I need to calculate the amount of water condensed from a DX cooling coil per hour given the size of the expansion coil (the total condensing surface area), the incoming air temperature, the amount of air flow from the fan, the BTU capacity of the compressor and the incoming air humidity. There are lots of condenser calculators around but they all need the air flow and incoming and outgoing humidity and then give a total volume of condensed water but I need more than that. The size of the...

Thread 'Why work is PdV and not (P+dP)dV in an isothermal process?'

Let's say we have a cylinder of volume V1 with a frictionless movable piston and some gas trapped inside with pressure P1 and temperature T1. On top of the piston lay some small pebbles that add weight and essentially create the pressure P1. Also the system is inside a reservoir of water that keeps its temperature constant at T1. The system is in equilibrium at V1, P1, T1. Now let's say i put another very small pebble on top of the piston (0,00001kg) and after some seconds the system...
