Mixing

AI Thread Summary

Mixing helium, oxygen, germanium, nitrogen, and uranium depends significantly on temperature. Helium and nitrogen do not contribute to any reactions in this context. At elevated temperatures, germanium and uranium could oxidize when combined with oxygen. The potential reactions highlight the importance of temperature in determining the outcomes of such mixtures. Understanding these interactions is crucial for safety and practical applications.

It depends on the temperature. Helium and Nitrogen are irrelevant. Germanium and Uranium could oxidize if the temperature was high enough.

Thread 'Is space stretching or is new space being created?'

Do we even know? My understanding of dark energy is that particles come into existence, exert and outward force, then vanish. My problem with that is how, of course, then how does dark energy know to push everything in the same direction? The pressure exerted would be in all directions, even if the space was moving so why isn't stuff pushed all over the sky? Thanks - rev

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...
