B Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution under the influence of a gravitational field

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding a simple video that illustrates the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution in a gravitational field to explain pressure gradients. The original poster expresses frustration with trying to convince a flat Earth proponent of these concepts. Respondents highlight the challenge of communicating scientific ideas to those with opposing views. Despite the skepticism, there is a request for resources that effectively demonstrate the Boltzmann distribution in a gravity well. The conversation underscores the difficulty of engaging with individuals who hold firmly to alternative beliefs.

Could anyone suggest a simple video showing the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution under the influence of a gravitational field?
I trying to show a flat earther idiot how pressure gradients arise in a simple manner.

Thank you all.

Wasting your time.
The other guy will always have a "Yeah, but... "
 
I think you are probably correct. What a sad state of affairs! None the less do you know of any video which would be simple enough to just basically show Boltzmann distribution in gravity well?
 

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...
