AI Thread Summary
Solid materials are formed by fixed chemical bonds, which can be either crystallized or amorphous. In liquids, interatomic bonds exist but are weaker, comparable to thermal energy, resulting in a dynamic environment. Hydrogen bonds, particularly in water, illustrate this concept well. There are several informative books available that explore the liquid state and hydrodynamics as limiting behaviors in complex systems. Understanding these differences is crucial for studying material properties and behaviors.

I know solid materials are formed by chemical bonds. There are crystalized or amorphous, but the bonds are fixed. How about in liquids?

There are interatomic bonds in liquids as well, but the bond strength is of the same magnitude as thermal energy, leading to a very dynamic environment. Look up "hydrogen bonds" in the context of water, for example.

There's a few decent books about the liquid state out there, and a few others that discuss hydrodynamics as limiting behavior of dissipative systems with large numbers of degrees of freedom.
 

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
