AI Thread Summary
The resistivity of NiCu alloy is debated, with one source listing it as 35*10^8 Ω*m, while the correct value is likely 3.5*10^8 Ω*m. This discrepancy leads to confusion when comparing calculated resistance values to theoretical ones, resulting in a factor of 10 difference. The resistivity can vary based on the alloy's composition. Clarification indicates that the correct notation should be 35*10^-8 Ω*m. Accurate resistivity values are crucial for precise calculations in laboratory settings.

I am very sorry because this post seems spammy, but I cannot, for the life of me, find the resistivity of NiCu alloy.
My lab has it as 35*10^8 Ω*m, and when i compare my calculated value of resistance to the theoretical it is off by a factor of 10. This causes me to think that there is a typo and it should be 3.5*10^8…
Could someone please confirm this?
I cannot find it by googling (and I've been trying for the past hour or so).

Both of you actually mean 35 * 10-8 Ωm (note the sign), don't you?
 
Yes, you are right. At least I meant negative 8.:)
 
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...
