    Beer Bubble
AI Thread Summary
Bubbles in beer form due to differences in pressure, with higher pressure at the bottom causing bubble size to increase as they rise. This phenomenon does not violate the first law of thermodynamics, as the energy for bubble formation comes from the dissolved carbon dioxide in the beer. Shaking the beer introduces additional energy into the system, which can lead to more bubbles forming. The pathway of these bubbles can be analyzed using a pressure-volume (PV) diagram, illustrating the relationship between pressure and volume changes during bubble formation. Understanding carbonation is key to grasping these processes in beer.

why there have bubble in beer,
what the pathway do the bubbles go in pv diagram


my idea :

assume temperature is constant
pressure in the bottom is higher than the suface
so the bubbles size increase

then where the energy come from?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
is this action violate the first law of thermodynamics??
how about if you shake the beer, is it mean you input the energy into the system , then do it violate the 1st of thermodynamic?
 
Run a Google search on "carbonation" and "beer" and you will find out all you need to know about how these bubbles seem to appear from nowhere.
 
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...
