    Gas Solubility
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the solubility of gases in liquids, questioning whether any gas is completely insoluble. It emphasizes the "nth" principle of physical chemistry, suggesting that everything is soluble to some extent. A personal anecdote highlights the complexities of studying simple systems, illustrating that even straightforward concepts can yield unexpected results. The conversation underscores the idea that various mechanisms of solubility occur, regardless of their plausibility. Understanding gas solubility remains a nuanced topic in physical chemistry.

Hello. How are you my friends? Is there a gas that is completely not soluble in a liquid ? Thank you

Everything is soluble in everything else; "nth" principle of physical chemistry.

Here's another fundamental principle of physical chemistry. My thesis adviser spent much of his career studying the surface physics of alkali halides. He chose this vocation with the idea that here at least is a system so simple, so uncomplicated he could surely eventually understand everything there is to know about it. 40 years later they were still surprising him. But he did discover this fundamental principle of physical chemistry "Every even moderately plausible mechanism you can dream up happens to some degree. Most of the implausible ones also happen."

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...

Thread 'I need to simulate clothing meshes for hanging garments'

I don't need cloth simulation. I need to simulate clothing meshes. Made of triangles and I need an answer that someone with High School math can understand. I am actually using the time it takes for someone to answer to create a model with less geometry than the one I have been using. I want clothing that can be removed on a model that will be animated. I don't need stretching or wrinkles on my meshes, I just need gravity. I have an idea of how I could do it, but I don't know how to apply...
