Convert Energy Input Liquid Vapour

AI Thread Summary

The conversion of liquid to vapor requires energy input, which increases entropy. This process does not occur spontaneously with less effort because it necessitates energy, preventing the system from being isolated. In an isolated system, entropy will naturally maximize itself according to the constraints of energy conservation. The discussion highlights the relationship between energy input and entropy changes in different systems. Understanding these principles is crucial for comprehending thermodynamic processes.

it takes an input of energy to convert liquid to vapour ,so increse the entropy
if an increase in entropy is natural, why does this not happen naturally with less effort on its own?

Because, like you said. It takes an input of energy, which no longer makes it an isolated system. Entropy will maximize itself in an isolated system under the given constraints. One of them is conservation of energy.

Thread 'Light speedup question'

If light travels in a wave, couldn't we "speed it up" by making it travel in a straight line?

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...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

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...
