Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the mixture formula for combining two or more fluids, specifically focusing on the heat difference for substances in the same phase. The original poster seeks clarification on the appropriate formula to use in this context.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants explore the concept of mixture formulas, with one questioning whether the original poster is referring to the rate of diffusion. Another participant seeks clarification by asking for a specific example related to heat difference.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants attempting to clarify the original question and provide insights into the relevant formulas. Some guidance has been offered regarding the use of specific heat capacity, although there is no explicit consensus on the exact formula to apply.

Contextual Notes

There appears to be some confusion regarding the specifics of the problem, including the types of fluids and the conditions under which they are combined. The original poster's lack of specificity may be impacting the clarity of the discussion.

Do you mean the rate of diffusion?

sorry for not beign specific before hand
i mean't the mixture formula of heat difference for subnstances of the same phase

Sorry, I don't quite understand. Do you have a specific example?

umm...
if i have 1 kg of water at 100 degrees and 10 kg of water at zero, what formaula or series of formulas would i use to to calculate the final temperature
 
Ahh, you would simply use the equation for specific heat capacity [itex]\Delta Q = mc\Delta\theta[/itex]. You would have to use simultaneous equations. HINT: The energy lost by the water at 100 degrees must be equal to the energy gained by the water at zero degrees.

No problem, I was worried for a moment then because I'd never heard of such a formula :confused: :biggrin:
