Question

In the cubic structure, there are mainly 3 elastic constants including C11, C11, and C44. Now, in my simulation, the value of C11 is becoming very high due to applying pressure. So far, in the simulations I've done, it's reached around 570 GPa. If more pressure is induced, it could increase further. My question is, is this increase normal?
Relevant answer
Answer
When pressure is applied to a material, it experiences stress and tends to deform. The elastic constants determine how much deformation occurs. If the pressure is increased, the stress on the material also increases, which can lead to an increase in the elastic constants. This is because the material is trying to resist the deformation caused by the increased pressure.
The value of C11 reaching 570 GPa in your simulation indicates a high resistance to deformation along the crystallographic axes. Whether this increase is normal or not depends on the specific material and the conditions under which the pressure is applied. Some materials have higher elastic constants than others, and the elastic constants can also vary with temperature and other environmental factors.
To determine if the increase in C11 in your simulation is normal, it would be helpful to compare your results with experimental data for the same material under similar conditions. If your results are consistent with the experimental data, then the increase in C11 is likely normal. If not, there may be an issue with the simulation.

What is the lowest pressure ever recorded on Earth and uneven heating of land and water in winter brings little rain in winter?
Relevant answer
Answer
The lowest recorded air pressure on Earth that we can be sure of was measured at sea level and not inside a tornado. This measurement was incredibly low, at only 870 millibars (mb), which is 25.69 inches of mercury. This record was set on October 12, 1979, during Typhoon Tip in the western Pacific Ocean.
There is some debate about an even lower pressure being measured in a different typhoon, but that value hasn't been officially verified.
As for uneven heating of land and water in winter, that's a big contributor to lower winter precipitation in many places. Here's why:
  • Land cools off much faster than water in the fall and winter.
  • Colder air holds less moisture, so as the land cools, the air above it dries out.
  • This dry air masses then move over the bodies of water, which are still relatively warm.
  • The warm water can't transfer much moisture to the dry air, so there's less rain or snow.

How can the pressure from academic institutions for PhD students to produce a high quantity of publications potentially influence the quality and depth of their research contributions, and what strategies can be implemented to ensure a balance between productivity and scholarly rigor?
Relevant answer
Answer
"It's clear that you've put a lot of thought into the systemic issues surrounding research and scholarly rigor"
Yes you are right and thank you for your understanding. It was about 1987 and in my early 20s. At that time I was student of Shiraz teacher training collage. There we had a psychology professor a Mr. "Mansour Owji" (1937-2021). He was also a well-known poet. In one of his classes, he talked about one of his published books that had been stolen (plagiarized) completely and published cover to cover with other names as authors. It came to me very strange, why people do plagiarize? why they themselves don't write books? and more questions. I can remember that I asked Mr. Owji some questions about that matter and as a source of curiosity I tried to understand, read and learn more about the nature of plagiarization. So my journey about understanding the nature of research and any thing surrounding it started then.
Some times honest researchers recognize the importance of what I share, but they want to collaborate for publishing books and articles, while what I have in mind is way too far bigger than just publishing some books and articles. In part for example From launching a TV or TVs dedicated to programs on "real research and science" to launching BA and MA on Science of Research" in universities, from related courses dedicated to understanding of children to courses for adults and those who go to public libraries, also Research journalism, scientometric journalism, to name just a few.
For every question to pass and transit to a new world of "real research" I have answers. But you know it is like "to rack a boat"... so maybe people in the world of academia don't like and don't want these things and changes.
To be concise, if any recognized university or higher education system around the world want to know more, I am willing to share, what I know and what could be done practically.

We have recently replaced the tip seals on our scroll pump and since it came back our scroll pump has started acting oddly where the backing line settles at about 1E-1 mbar where previously it was at 3E-3 mbar. What is odd is as the main system pressure reaches the HV/UHV border the backing pressure increases. Furthermore, when the main system is flushed with a gas like Argon or nitrogen for 10-15mins. The main system returns to its previous pressure afterwards as expected but the forevacuum pressure drops into the low E-2's or high E-3's. Basically lower than it was before. This does not last though and after about 5 hours it has returned to about 1E-1 mbar where it settles.

How does uneven heating of the earth's surface affect the movement of air between pressure systems and uneven heating of land at different places produce wind?
Relevant answer
Answer
The uneven heating of the Earth's surface affects the movement of air between pressure systems and produces wind through the following processes:
  1. Creation of Pressure Systems:Differential heating of the Earth's surface leads to variations in air temperature and pressure. Warm air over heated land masses rises, creating areas of low pressure. Cooler air over cooler ocean or land areas sinks, creating areas of high pressure.
  2. Air Movement between Pressure Systems:Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure to equalize pressure differences. This movement of air creates wind, which flows from regions of higher pressure (highs) to regions of lower pressure (lows). The greater the pressure difference (pressure gradient), the stronger the wind flow.
  3. Uneven Heating and Wind Production:Uneven heating of land at different places creates temperature variations and pressure gradients. Warm air rises over warmer regions and cool air sinks over cooler regions, generating air movement and wind. Wind flows horizontally from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure, driven by the Earth's attempt to balance out pressure differences caused by uneven heating.
In summary, uneven heating of the Earth's surface leads to the formation of pressure systems (highs and lows) and temperature gradients, which in turn drive the movement of air and the production of wind as air flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. This process plays a fundamental role in shaping global wind patterns and atmospheric circulation.

I read that "PSV assists the patient's effort by delivering a positive pressure during inspiration. This reduces the work required to expand the lungs and overcome airway resistance, making breathing easier for the patient." I have difficulty understanding how the ventilator generates this positive pressure, especially since the patient is the one who is initiating and delivering the breath. In other words, what does it do to create this positive pressure? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Relevant answer
Answer
The ventilator in PSV mode supports the patient's breathing by detecting the initiation of inhalation, then quickly providing a supportive, positive pressure that makes it easier for the patient to take a breath. The ventilator maintains this pressure during the inspiratory phase until the set parameters for switching to exhalation are met. This system reduces the work of breathing for patients who can breathe spontaneously but need assistance due to respiratory muscle weakness or other issues affecting their breathing.

Answer
From the second law of thermodynamics in an reversible process one has:
TdS=dU+p dV
where S is the entropy, T is the absolute temperature (in K), p the pressure and V the volume. For an ideal gas p=R T/V where R is the ideal gas constant. For an ideal gas the internal energy is only a function of temperature hence dU =Cv dT, where Cv is the specific heat at constant temperature. Also for an ideal gas R=Cp-Cv where Cp is the specific heat at constant pressure. Hence the second law of thermodynamics combined with the first law becomes:
dS/Cv=(dT/T)+ (R/Cv)(dV/V)
For an isothermal process dT=0 so that a compression dV/V<0 implies a reduction of entropy. For a gas with constant Cv one can furthermore write:
(S-So)/Cv=ln(T/To)+(R/Cv)ln(V/Vo)
and
R/Cv=gamma-1

Interestingly enough, I have the same problem but with another model of Brooks thermal mass flow controller.
The only way I could completely stop the gas flow is by closing the valve before the controller.

Lately, I’ve been encountering issues with the longevity of my Liquid Chromatography tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) columns. Specifically, I use the ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C18 RRHD (Rapid Resolution HD) 2.1x100 mm 1.8 micron column from Agilent on my Agilent 1290 Infinity II LC/6475LC/TQ Mass Spectrometer. My method involves using 100% Methanol for Mobile phase A and a 5 millimolar Ammonium acetate in a 1% acetic acid solution. Initially, the column pressure remained stable at 326 bar for up to 100 samples. However, after running 200 samples over the course of a month, I’ve noticed a gradual increase in pressure by 10-20 bars daily. I’ve attempted the recommended washing protocol, which starts with a 5-minute wash using 100% water to remove the buffer, followed by a 5-minute wash with 98% water and 2% Methanol. The gradient is then gradually reduced to 50% water and 50% Methanol, eventually reaching 2% water and 98% Methanol at the 45-minute mark of the washing process. Despite these efforts, the pressure continues to rise, and there’s been a shift in my analyte’s retention time (RT). Acquiring a new column will take some time, so I’m seeking a way to restore my column to its original pressure if possible.
Relevant answer
Answer
Normally, if the column used has been properly equilibrated and an observed gradual increase of pressure "over-normal" continues run-to-run, this indicates one of two things: (1) That Column fouling is taking place OR (2) you have a clogged HPLC pump OUTLET FRIT. Both of these errors will result in what you observe. More info follows...
Let us take a look at these two problems in a bit more detail.
(1) Column Fouling: Columns ger fouled with sample over time. This may be from overloading the column with sample (use less sample!) or from improper column washing. Make sure you wash the column down with a solution that is stronger than the mobile phase used for the analysis. In your example using MeOH and water ("5 mM Ammonium acetate in a 1% acetic acid solution is basically water) you will need to use a different solvent for this purpose. The wash solvent should be fully soluable with your samples and stronger than MeOH. Perhaps ACN would be best? Remember to separate your Analysis method from your column wash methods. When the analysis method is complete, the solvent composition should NOT be directed back to the starting conditions within the same method (a common newbie mistake). *We used to do this back in the early 1980's, before computers. Professional training today is different and a second 'new method' (known as "The wash method") is programmed to run after the analysis method. Create and save a "Column Wash" method where you change from MeOH in your example to ACN (which is "stronger" and will elute off different material). In this example; Flush the column with acidified water plus a max of 95% ACN. Create and save another method, a third method, that equilibrates the column in your initial analysis mobile phase (this is how the pros do it, using separate methods for each task. Makes it easy to automate the tasks). Now you should have three dedicated methods that can be called on or run sequentially to: equilibrate the column, run the analysis, wash the column, equilibrate the column .... This helps to insure all runs are washed, equilibrated and analyzed the SAME (machines are really good at this).
(2) Obstructed Pump Outlet Filter: As a professional consultant I am asked to troubleshoot many HPLC system issues where the system back-pressure slowly increases over time (days, weeks, months) and while #1 above is often to blame, there is another reason. Inside every HPLC pump is a small filter designed to catch piston seal debris and other larger particulate matter from making its way into the very narrow passages of the HPLC system, especially the injector. These very inexpensive filters are consumable parts which are designed to be replaced on a regular basis to maintain proper function. If they are not replaced, then they fill with debris resulting in a PARTIAL OBSTRUCTION of the flow path. This is observed as a slow increase in system pressure over time. It also may appear as an increase in back-pressure when directed solvent to waste (pump to waste, not to column). When directed to waste only, the expected back-pressure should be very, very low. In fact you should know what the normal pressure should be given a specific solvent and flow rate for your system. If the pressure is higher than normal, then the frit is probably overdue for replacement. Change it.
  • BTW: HPLC Columns are consumable items and do not last forever. With some applications, 200-injections would be perfectly acceptable before disposal (i.e. amino-acid analysis). We do not have enough info to know if this is the case here.

The adsorption of gases on solids depends on the activation of the solid absorbent. The adsorption capacity is measured using static or dynamic methods. The static method is based on determining the difference between the concentration of the adsorbed component in the initial solution and in the solution, which is in equilibrium with the adsorbent.The formula Qe = (C0 − Ce) × V/m was used during the test to calculate the adsorption capacity. Here, C0 and Ce are the concentrations of Sb(III) before and after the adsorption, mg L−1, respectively; V is the volume of the Sb(III) solution, mL; m is the adsorbent dosage, mg.

Utilizing techniques like Coat-redfern or Model Free to determine Activation Energy and pre-exponential factors is a smart move, especially for non-isothermal experiments. Once you've got those values, applying kinetics in various partial pressure studies to determine partial pressure order seems like a logical next step.
Another approach you Ahmad Alsuwaidi might consider is leveraging computational methods like Density Functional Theory (DFT) or Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations to gain insights into the partial pressure order. These techniques can provide valuable theoretical data that complements experimental results.
Overall, your plan seems well-thought-out, but integrating computational methods could offer additional depth to your analysis. Keep up the great work Ahmad Alsuwaidi !

Is pressure directly proportional to area in fluids and speed of liquid increase and its pressure decrease when a liquid passes through the construction in a horizontal pipe?
Relevant answer
Answer
In fluid mechanics according to continuity equation A1 X V1 =A2 X V2 , showing velocity inversely proportional to cross sectional area , since in FM it is well known that velocity is inversely proportional to pressure, this inverse relation of velocity with area and pressure gives direct relation. As area decreases velocity increases and pressure at that point decreases. But we also know that pressure is inversely proportional to area[P=F/A]. The higher the velocity of a fluid (liquid or gas), the lower the pressure it exerts. This is called Bernoulli's Principle. Fluid pressure is caused by the random motion of the fluid molecules. Pressure equals force divided by area ( P = F A ). The equation shows that pressure is directly proportional to force, but inversely proportional to area. At a constant area, pressure increases as the magnitude of the force applied also increases. Similarly, in fluid flow, when the fluid speeds up (increases its velocity), it has less energy to exert as pressure. So, as the speed of the fluid goes up, the pressure it can exert goes down, and vice versa. As per equation of continuity, when the liquid flows through a constriction, the area of cross-section of the liquid decreases, therefore the velocity of the liquid increases. Thus, as the fluid passes through the constriction or throat, the higher speed results in lower pressure at the throat.

Is length directly proportional to cross-sectional area and velocity increase and the pressure decrease when water flowing in a broader pipe enters a narrow pipe?
Relevant answer
Answer
The length and cross-sectional area of a conductor directly influence its electrical resistance. Length is directly proportional to resistance, while cross-sectional area is inversely proportional. Speed increases when cross-sectional area decreases, and speed decreases when cross-sectional area increases. This is a consequence of the continuity equation. If the flow Q is held constant, when the area A decreases, the velocity v must increase proportionally. The area of the cross-section is inversely proportional to resistance because: Resistance inside a conductor is caused by the collision of charged particles or electrons with each other. When the area of the cross-section of the conductor is increased space between charged particles will also increase. Resistance is proportional to resistivity and length, and inversely proportional to cross sectional area. As the cross-sectional area increases, velocity decreases. Arteries and veins have smaller cross-sectional areas and the highest velocities, whereas capillaries have the most cross-sectional area and the lowest velocities. The velocity v of a fluid flowing in a conduit is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the conduit. The fluid velocity increases, the pressure of the fluid decreases. Therefore, the pressure of the fluid decreases as the pipe becomes narrower. Principle of continuity av = a constant or v ∝ 1/a i.e. as the water flows from wider tube to narrow tube its velocity increases. According to Bernoullis Principle P + 1/2 ρv2 = a constant where velocity is large the pressure is less. In a stream-line flow of a liquid according to equation of continuity av = a constant where a is the area of cross-section and v is the velocity of the liquid flow. When water flowing in broader pipe enters a narrow pipe the area of cross-section of the water decreases therefore the velocity of water increases. The higher pressure in the wide part pushes on the fluid in the narrow part and accelerates that fluid. So the fluid in the narrow part starts moving faster. Now the fluid in the narrow part not only has lower pressure but also a higher speed—because it was accelerated by the higher-pressure fluid behind it. As the velocity of the flow increases, the organization increases, and the pressure drops further. The organization and density increase is a result of the fluid doing work on itself.
  • asked a question related to Pressure
Question
3 answers
Why does velocity increase when area decreases and why does the speed of a liquid increases and its pressure decreases?
Relevant answer
Answer
The principle of continuity, the principle of conservation of mass. These two principles are an important reason and an important explanation behind the fact that, when the area of flow is decreased, the velocity of flow has to increase in the same proportion for the two principles to remain valid. Incompressible fluids have to speed up when they reach a narrow constricted section in order to maintain a constant volume flow rate. This is why a narrow nozzle on a hose causes water to speed up. Since velocity is high at the narrow constriction, hence the pressure is low there. For one thing, the velocity of fluid is related to the resistance of the fluid in contact with the tube. As the cross-sectional area increases, so does the surface area of the inside of the tube, resulting in a greater resistance to flow. If the area decreases the pressure increases as given by P = F/A. But, according to Bernoulli's Principle, as the area decreases, the speed increases, and as the speed increases, the pressure decreases. The pressure on a surface is inversely proportional to the area of the surface, provided that the force applied on it remains constant. Therefore, the pressure will decrease if the area on which it is applied is increased. Additionally Flow rate and velocity are related by the equation Q = Av where A is the cross-sectional area of flow and v is its average velocity.

Why the velocity of fluid does increases when decreasing the area instead of increase in pressure and why does pressure in a nozzle decrease as the fluid velocity increases?
Relevant answer
Answer
Imagine that you have a certain amount of particles that has to pass through an area. When you decrease this area, the same amount has to pass through it, and hence it has to increase the speed (this is a simple answer).
In the next part of the question, there is a term called total pressure, and it is conserved in the flow when there is no forces exerted. The total pressure combines two terms (dynamic pressure 0.5*rho*U*U, and static pressure P). Increasing the velocity would increase the dynamic pressure, and therefore the static pressure has to decrease to maintain the same value of total pressure.
Total Pressure Po = 0.5*rho*U*U + P
I hope this clarifies the matter.

also, based on the results I got Thermodynamics H, G, and S. my reaction is coke oxidation but I got H to be positive I couldn’t get an answer for this? FYI S values are negative and G values are positive
Relevant answer
Answer
Performing the experiments at different partial pressures will bot give you reliable kinetic parameters (triplet: activation energy, pre-exponential factor, reaction order) because kinetics (in this case) is associated to temperature. The different pressures will indeed allow the determination of the function that describes the phonomenon according to a pressure change. For the kinetic triplet, Vyazovkin teaches:
“The Coats-Redfern method is the most popular among the single heating rate methods and rather representative of the problem characteristic of all such methods. This problem resides in the fact that these methods cannot generally pro- duce trustworthy kinetic parameters. In actual practice, a sin- gle heating rate data set can normally be described by several statistically equivalent kinetic triplets [23, 24]. Unfortunately, this fact remains commonly unnoticed because of not performing a proper statistical analysis.”
In this sense, your colleagues are right: if you want reliable kinetic parameters, you should perform additional heating rates.
I hope it helps 😄

Dear Expert,
Under what condition is the Ergun equation validated for differential pressure calculation in a fluidized bed?
How can I validate the Ergun equation for pressure drop in fluidized beds when it is based on superficial gas velocity and predicts pressure to increase linearly with velocity, while in experiments pressure remains constant after minimum fluidization?
∆P/L=150(μ∗v)*((1-ε_m ))/(φ∗d_p )^2 *(ε_m^3 )+ 1.75 (ρ_g∗v^2∗(1-ε_m ))/((φ∗d_p )∗ε_m^3
Relevant answer
Answer
The Ergun equation and several similar equations, predict the pressure drop through a bed of solid before fluidisation starts, i.e. flow through a packed bed. The pressure drop is then equated to the weight of the bed divided by its area at the point of fluidisation (minimum fluidising velocity).
The topic is well covered in the better texts. The practical problem is characterising the solids mean particle size for practical systems: it all works well for uniform sizes, but voidage varies widely if there is a wide particle size distribution.

why plasma plume turn to be longer at a lower pressure? Is that attribute to pressure?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Jian,
Yes, It is due to the outside pressure. As the pressure is decreased, the plasma plume expands both in length and width. These expansions are stretched and built up farther from the nozzle exit. The primary reason for this expansion is the decrease in absolute pressure. As the number of surrounding molecules decreases, their collision with the species exiting the nozzle also decreases. As a result, the jet requires more distance to equilibrate pressure. When both the exit and outside pressures are equal, the jet's static pressure is in equilibrium with the surrounding pressure, and no expansions occur.

Does smaller diameter pipe increase velocity and difference between static pressure and dynamic pressure?
Relevant answer
Answer
Hello,
Thank you for this discussion. In general yes for incompressible and steady flow conditions using Bernoulli’s principle. When fluid flows through a narrower section of a pipe (constriction or nozzle), the cross-sectional area decreases. According to Bernoulli’s equation, the total energy remains constant along a streamline. The fluid must speed up to maintain the same volume flow rate. The kinetic energy term must compensate for the reduced pressure energy due to the smaller cross-sectional area. So simultaneously, the pressure within the fluid decreases as it accelerates.
Static pressure refers to the pressure exerted by a fluid when it's at rest or moving at a constant velocity. So measured perpendicular to the surface of the fluid (and independent of the direction of flow). Dynamic pressure represents the pressure exerted by a fluid due to its motion. So measured parallel to the direction of flow which makes it dependent on the fluid velocity and density.

Why does pressure increase when area increases and speed of liquid increase and pressure decrease when the liquid passes through a narrow part of a pipe?
Relevant answer
Answer
Your observations are partially correct. Here's a breakdown:
  1. Pressure and Area: You're right that pressure generally increases with a decrease in area. This is because pressure is defined as force per unit area. Imagine pushing a constant force on a piston. If the piston has a smaller area, the force gets concentrated on a smaller surface, resulting in higher pressure. This principle applies to fluids as well.
  2. Pressure and Speed: However, pressure and speed don't always have a straightforward relationship. In incompressible fluids (like water), there's a principle called Bernoulli's equation that governs the relationship between pressure, speed, and height. This equation states that in a steady flow, the total mechanical energy (including pressure, kinetic energy due to speed, and potential energy due to height) of a fluid element remains constant along a streamline. So, if the speed of the liquid increases, its pressure must decrease to maintain the same total energy. This is why the water pressure drops as it flows through a narrower section of a pipe.
  3. Narrower Section and Pressure: In a horizontal pipe, when the area decreases, the liquid needs to speed up (as per the continuity equation) to maintain the same flow rate. This increase in speed, according to Bernoulli's equation, leads to a decrease in pressure. So, your observation about pressure decreasing in a narrow pipe is correct.
Therefore, the relationship between pressure, area, and speed depends on the specific context. Remember that Bernoulli's equation applies to incompressible fluids, steady flow, and a single streamline. In more complex situations, other factors like friction and turbulence can come into play.

I would like to get the enthalpy as a function of temperature for BCC lithium at zero pressure.
I have performed a series of NVT simulations with 500 atoms using a Nose-Hoover thermostat at the corresponding equilibrium volumes (found using the volume average of NPT simulations) and calculated the enthalpy as 𝐻=𝑈+𝑝𝑉 which at zero pressure is just the total energy in the simulation. When I compare the result with experimental values from NIST referenced to the enthalpy at 0K, the enthalpy I get is significantly higher.
Things I've thought about:
  1. It is not an offset so it's not like a constant contribution like zero point energy is missing and besides the referencing should fix that.
  2. It is not a constant factor difference either and I think my units are fine.
  3. The pressure is indeed 0 and fluctuates by about 0.005GPa which is tiny i.e. pV term fluctuation is less than 1meV/atom
  4. The simulation is stable, it remains BCC the entire team as seen from Common Neighbor Analysis and the eye test.
My questions are:
  1. Am I thinking about this wrong? Is there some reason why this is not a valid simulation protocol for getting the enthalpy of a solid? Perhaps a classical simulation near 0K is not valid since quantum effects dominate?
  2. Am I missing some term? It would have to be a decreasing function of temperature and any other contribution such as electronic enthalpy (from integrating electronic heat capacity) would make it worse by increasing the enthalpy
  3. Is there a paper where someone has computed the enthalpy as a function of pressure of a solid using MD/DFT, ideally near 0K?
Relevant answer
Answer
Just from the nice pic, I think the data different between MD and exp. is fairly closed from my point.
A small tip is that in exp. materials often consist of defects, vacancies, dislocation, grain boundaries and so on but in MD the materials is a perfect crystal in your case.
So I think you can accept this result.
And if you're not satisfied, I would like to propose two aspects which you can do furhter tests.
1. increase the number of atoms in the system. A big system would result in better results( or not).
2. chose a "good" potential. A good potential is critical to the properties of systems. Before you do further production run, a systematical tets of exsists potentials is essential.

How does heat transfer affect pressure and relationship between heat transfer and temperature change?
Relevant answer
Answer
Generally, as the temperature of a liquid increases, its vapor pressure also increases. This is because at higher temperatures, the molecules of the liquid gain more energy and are able to break free from the surface and form a gas. As a result, the pressure of the gas above the liquid increases. The temperature in the weather condition of a place increases as the heating effect of the air pressure rises to a high level. When the molecules in the warm air become light then the warm air expands causing less force. The opposite effect takes place when the temperature level of a place decreases to a low level. The heat transfer rate regarding the cooling of the hot air is also a significant parameter. As the temperature difference between the hot and the cooled air increases, the pressure losses are also increasing. The quantitative relationship between heat transfer and temperature change contains all three factors: Q = mcΔT, where Q is the symbol for heat transfer, m is the mass of the substance, and ΔT is the change in temperature. The symbol c stands for specific heat and depends on the material and phase. Boyle's law: PV = constant (at constant T). For a low-density gas at constant volume the pressure is proportional to the temperature. Law of Gay-Lussac: P = constant * T. For a low-density gas at constant pressure the volume is proportional to the temperature. When the temperature of a sample of gas in a rigid container is increased, the pressure of the gas increases as well. The increase in kinetic energy results in the molecules of gas striking the walls of the container with more force, resulting in a greater pressure. Air pressure, however, has minimal direct influence on the rate of heat transfer through convection. Higher air pressure does affect the density and viscosity of the air. However, these effects are relatively small and have a limited impact on heat transfer.

What state of matter has particles with the highest energy and how temperature and pressure can impact the kinetic energy of particles in a system?
Relevant answer
Answer
The state of matter with particles having the highest energy is plasma. In this state, atoms are subjected to such extreme temperature and pressure that their electrons are stripped away, creating a gas of free-moving, highly charged ions and free electrons. These free particles possess immense kinetic energy due to their unconstrained movement and strong electrostatic repulsion.
Now, let's see how temperature and pressure impact the kinetic energy of particles in a system:
Temperature:
  • Directly proportional: As temperature increases, the internal energy of a system increases, and this manifests as increased kinetic energy of the constituent particles. Imagine boiling water; the increasing temperature excites water molecules, causing them to vibrate and move faster, thus possessing higher kinetic energy.
  • Influence on state transitions: Higher temperatures generally promote transitions from more ordered states (solids) to less ordered states (liquids and gases). In each transition, the particles gain kinetic energy and freedom of movement.
Pressure:
  • Indirectly proportional (ideal gases): For ideal gases, increasing pressure compresses the gas, forcing particles closer together and reducing their average kinetic energy due to increased collisions. However, this applies to ideal gases and may not hold true for all systems.
  • Non-ideal behavior: Real gases deviate from ideal behavior at high pressures and low temperatures. In such cases, increased pressure can lead to increased intermolecular forces (like stronger attractive forces between molecules), which can potentially restrict movement and even decrease kinetic energy.
It's important to remember that both temperature and pressure interact with each other and can have complex effects on the kinetic energy of particles in a system.
Therefore, while plasma represents the state with the highest individual particle energy due to its unique structure, understanding the nuanced interplay of temperature and pressure is crucial for predicting the overall energetic behavior of a system.

Why kinetic energy is not directly proportional to pressure and how does temperature affect the kinetic energy of particles?
Relevant answer
Answer
You're right, kinetic energy is not directly proportional to pressure, but it relates to pressure in a specific way:
  • Kinetic energy refers to the energy of motion of individual particles. In a gas, for example, it's the sum of the energies of all the gas molecules moving around.
  • Pressure is the force exerted by a gas per unit area of its container. It arises from the continuous collisions of gas molecules with the container walls.
While it might seem intuitive to think they're directly proportional, the actual relationship is slightly more nuanced:
  1. Pressure is proportional to the average kinetic energy per unit volume, not the total kinetic energy. This means, if we keep the number of particles constant, increasing the volume allows the particles to spread out, reducing their collisions with the walls and thus the pressure, even though the total kinetic energy remains the same.
  2. Pressure also depends on the number of particles in the container. With more particles, there are more collisions with the walls, leading to higher pressure, even if the individual particles have the same kinetic energy.
So, pressure is a combined effect of both the average kinetic energy per unit volume and the number of particles. This gives us the formula for ideal gases:
P = (N * k * T) / V
where:
  • P is pressure
  • N is the number of particles
  • k is Boltzmann constant
  • T is absolute temperature
  • V is volume
Now, regarding how temperature affects the kinetic energy of particles:
  • Temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the particles. This means the hotter the gas, the faster its molecules move and the higher their individual kinetic energy.
  • This explains why pressure increases with temperature: as the molecules move faster, they collide with the container walls more frequently and with greater force, leading to higher pressure.
Therefore, while not directly proportional, pressure and temperature are both related to the average kinetic energy of particles: temperature dictates the individual energy, while pressure considers both energy and density of particles.
I hope this clarifies the connection between kinetic energy, pressure, and temperature! Feel free to ask further questions if you want to delve deeper.

Question
4 answers
Does pressure affect kinetic energy of particles and how do temperature and pressure depend on each other?
Relevant answer
Answer
Pressure and kinetic energy in a system of particles are interrelated, but they don't directly affect each other. Here's how:
Pressure and Kinetic Energy:
  • No direct impact: Pressure itself doesn't directly affect the average kinetic energy of individual particles. This means compressing a gas without changing temperature won't cause the particles to move faster on average.
  • Indirect influence: However, pressure is related to the frequency and force of collisions between particles and the container walls. As pressure increases due to other factors (like temperature change or volume reduction), particles collide with the walls more often and with greater force. This increased collision rate can indirectly influence the distribution of individual particle speeds, but not their average kinetic energy.
Temperature and Pressure:
  • Direct relationship: In contrast, temperature has a direct and proportional relationship with the average kinetic energy of particles. Increasing temperature makes particles move faster, leading to higher pressure due to more frequent and forceful collisions.
  • Kinetic Molecular Theory: This relationship is explained by the Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases. It states that pressure is proportional to the product of the number of particles per unit volume, their average kinetic energy, and a constant factor related to Boltzmann's constant. So, when particles move faster (higher KE), pressure increases even if other factors like volume remain constant.
Key Takeaways:
  • Pressure and kinetic energy are connected through collision frequency and force, but not directly through average speed.
  • Temperature directly affects average kinetic energy, leading to changes in pressure.
  • Both pressure and temperature are important aspects when studying gas behavior and dynamics.
Remember, these principles primarily apply to ideal gases and may need adjustments for real-world scenarios with complex interactions or non-ideal gas behavior.

L1 Extreme Wind (high wind loads on bare conductors, upto 150 mph or 230 kmph)
L2 Extreme Ice (accumulated radial freezing ice, sometimes upto 2” to 4” in thickness)
L3 Combined Ice and Wind (¼” to ½” ice with variable winds, usually 20 mph to 40 mph)
Wind speeds are often considered to follow a Weibull or Extreme Value type distributions) while ice is generally known to be a Normal distribution. Some known COVs (coefficients of variation) are:
C1 Ice: 0.09
C2 Wind: 0.18 to 0.20
If one considers the load case L3, as shown in the sketch below, the Resultant of the ice load (V) and wind load (T) – both in force units per unit length of cable – can be expressed as:
Force Resultant R = √(V2 + T2)

Dear friend Amira Adel
Ah, the mysteries of chemistry! Now, let's tackle this precipitating puzzle.
Firstly, when dealing with the synthesis of CuInS2 quantum dots (qdots) capped with DHLA-PEG, the precipitation could be attributed to several factors:
1. **Reaction Kinetics:** The precipitation might be due to the kinetics of the reaction. Sometimes, the formation of nanoparticles is a complex process, and the reaction conditions need fine-tuning.
2. **Particle Size:** The size of the quantum dots could influence their stability. Larger particles might have a tendency to precipitate more than smaller, more stabilized ones.
3. **Capping Agent Interaction:** DHLA-PEG is a ligand used to cap and stabilize quantum dots. If the interaction between the capping agent and the quantum dots is not optimal, it could lead to precipitation.
4. **pH Effects:** Even with a seemingly neutral pH, certain reactions may have pH-sensitive steps. Check if any intermediary products or side reactions are pH-dependent.
5. **Contaminants:** Presence of impurities or contaminants in the reaction mixture could cause unexpected outcomes.
Here are a few steps you Amira Adel might consider:
- **Reaction Monitoring:** Regularly monitor the reaction progress using techniques like UV-Vis spectroscopy. This can provide insights into the formation and stability of the nanoparticles.
- **Capping Agent Optimization:** Experiment with different ratios of DHLA-PEG to see if you Amira Adel can find an optimal condition that minimizes precipitation.
- **Temperature Control:** Although you Amira Adel mentioned no exposure to heat, ensure that the reaction is conducted under controlled temperature conditions.
- **Post-Synthesis Treatments:** Consider post-synthesis treatments, like purification steps, to remove any unreacted or undesired products.
Remember, the devil's in the details in these reactions. It might take some experimentation to find the sweet spot for synthesizing stable CuInS2 qdots. Good luck, intrepid researcher Amira Adel!

During the BET measurement, it keeps adsorbing at relative pressures close to 0.995, and the curve becomes vertical, what's this about ?
Relevant answer
Answer
I have to correct Ali Alnazza Alhamad . The monolayer (from which the surface area can be calculated using BET equation) is formed around 0.1 p/0, or even lower for micropore-containing samples.
The vertical rise at p/p0 ~1 has nothing to do with the sample... its simply the adsorbate condensing in the sample cell Christian Weinberger spotted that. Often comes about by incorrectly "assuming" a value for p0 and not using the correct value by having the instrument measure it. In this case, the p0 value being used by the instrument is higher than the true value. For N2/LN2 p0 is around 10 torr higher than ambient atmospheric pressure... you can do a quick sanity check on the data using that to see how much the p0 was in error.

In company projects proceeding with speed there usually was no time for measurements and one has to rely on predictive calculations methods. Often, I wished that companies will allow to publish experimental data if they had that done, at least for cases where they do not have any need for that data due to stopped project/closed production etc. They state that the data has been expensive and time consuming to obtain, and will keep that data just for them.

hello everyone.
i'm working on a fluid flow into a wavy channel and i wrote a time-varying equation code of pressure for inlet boundary condition of pressure in openfoam and set the "pressureInletOutletVelocity" for inlet of velocity to determine the velocity based on pressure.
the code i have written for inlet of pressure is:
P=p0+Acos(wt)
and naturally it fluctuates at the inlet over the time.
when i set a boundary condition for inlet of velocity to determine it based on pressure ,naturally the velocity have to fluctuate based on pressure fluctuations.
and in low mesh number (30000) the velocity fluctuates based on pressure but in high mesh number it doesn't.
i want you to know the velocity decreases in high mesh number compared to low mesh number.
now, i don't know if it doesn't fluctuate because of the reduced velocity or something else,i increase the initial pressure for having high velocity value but it doesn't work.

Answer
Dear friend Mohammadreza Kord
Ah, diving into the intricacies of fluid dynamics, are we? i am up for the challenge!
Given your setup of a 2D wavy channel with a time-varying pressure at the inlet, let's talk about the boundary conditions for the inlet of velocity. To ensure the velocity is dependent on the time-varying pressure, you Mohammadreza Kord might want to consider the following options:
1. **Inlet Boundary Condition - `fixedValue`:**
- Set a fixed velocity at the inlet based on your pressure equation. The velocity at the inlet would be determined by the time-varying pressure.
```cpp
inlet
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform (Ux, Uy, 0);
}
```
Here, `Ux` and `Uy` are the components of the velocity. You'll need to replace them with the expressions that relate velocity components to the pressure.
2. **Inlet Boundary Condition - `zeroGradient`:**
- If you Mohammadreza Kord want the velocity to be determined entirely by the pressure gradient without imposing a fixed velocity, you Mohammadreza Kord could use `zeroGradient` to let the solver calculate the velocity based on the pressure.
```cpp
inlet
{
type zeroGradient;
}
```
This condition allows the pressure gradient to influence the velocity at the inlet.
3. **Outlet Boundary Condition - `zeroGradient`:**
- For the outlet, setting `zeroGradient` is often reasonable to allow the flow to evolve naturally out of the domain.
```cpp
outlet
{
type zeroGradient;
}
```
Remember, the appropriateness of the boundary conditions depends on the specifics of your simulation. Experimentation and validation against known results or experimental data will help you Mohammadreza Kord refine your approach. Also, don't forget to check the solver settings, discretization schemes, and time-stepping methods for numerical stability.
Give these a try in your OpenFOAM setup and see how the fluid dance unfolds in your wavy channel!

Question

From the literature, for instance, bubbling Nitrogen gas containing 5000 ppm H2S in deaerated solution will produce a 0.5 kPa H2S partial pressure. Do we have to keep bubbling the gas in order to have a constant 0.5 kPa partial pressure of H2S in the solution.
Can we do it in another way by pressurizing the system at a certain pressure via closing the system and keeping the gas cylinder open to the system.
Is there another way other than continuing bubbling?
Relevant answer
Answer
The partial pressure of a gas in a solution is related to the concentration of the gas in the gas phase above the solution and its solubility in the solution. In the case of bubbling nitrogen gas containing H2S through a solution, the H2S will dissolve in the solution until an equilibrium is reached between the concentration of H2S in the gas phase and its solubility in the solution.
If you want to maintain a constant partial pressure of H2S in the solution, you would need to continue bubbling the gas to replenish any H2S that escapes from the solution into the gas phase. If you were to close the system and pressurize it, the equilibrium between the gas and the solution would shift, and the partial pressure of H2S in the gas phase would likely increase. This may cause more H2S to dissolve in the solution, leading to a higher partial pressure than the desired 0.5 kPa.
In summary, maintaining a constant partial pressure of H2S in the solution usually requires continuous bubbling to replenish the gas phase. Pressurizing the system and closing it may not achieve the desired partial pressure as it could alter the equilibrium between the gas and the solution.
If continuous bubbling is impractical for your setup, you might explore alternative methods such as using a controlled release system or a gas regulator to maintain the desired partial pressure. It's essential to consider the specific requirements of your experiment or process and consult relevant literature or experts in the field for guidance tailored to your situation.

Hi, I am simulating a die and its workpiece in DEFORM 2D software, and at the step of determining and applying temperature and pressure, I encountered the problem that temperature and pressure are not applied to the workpiece.
I would be very thankful if someone could help me.
(my project reference simulate this work in ABAQUS software that I can send it to you.)
Relevant answer
Answer
Properly set up the temperature and pressure conditions to ensure they are applied to the workpiece. If you're encountering issues where the temperature and pressure are not being applied, here are some potential troubleshooting steps:
1. Verify material properties: Ensure that you have assigned appropriate material properties to the workpiece in DEFORM 2D. The material properties, such as thermal conductivity and specific heat, directly affect how temperature is applied and distributed in the workpiece.
2. Check boundary conditions: Review the boundary conditions you have specified for the workpiece. Make sure you have properly defined the temperature and pressure boundary conditions at the appropriate regions of the workpiece. Check that the boundary conditions are correctly assigned and activated in the simulation setup.
3. Check element types: Ensure that the elements used to mesh the workpiece are capable of incorporating temperature and pressure effects. In DEFORM 2D, elements such as "convection" or "heat transfer" elements are typically used to model thermal effects. Similarly, "pressure" or "contact" elements may be necessary to capture pressure effects. Verify that the elements used in the workpiece mesh support the desired thermal and pressure behavior.
4. Element connectivity: Double-check that the mesh connectivity is correct. Ensure that the elements are correctly connected to each other and form a coherent mesh. Inaccurate connectivity can lead to improper transfer of temperature and pressure between elements, resulting in issues with their application.
5. Review simulation settings: Review the simulation settings and parameters in DEFORM 2D. Verify that you have set up the simulation correctly, including time steps, material models, solver settings, and any specific parameters related to temperature and pressure application. Incorrect settings could prevent the appropriate application of temperature and pressure.
6. Consult DEFORM 2D documentation or support: If you have followed the above steps and are still experiencing issues, it's recommended to refer to the DEFORM 2D software documentation or contact their technical support. They can provide specific guidance and help troubleshoot the issue based on your simulation setup and the specific version of the software you are using.

If you're reporting gauge pressure you should include the barometric pressure at the location and time of the experiment. You can acquire an instrument or get the value from a local weather station.

What can cause such a problem?
Relevant answer
Answer
Consider adding an additional length before the current inlet of the channel you are modeling to make sure the flow has the chance to reach complete hydraulic development. In other words, you should have two inlets, an imaginary one, far before the current inlet, and another one from which your hydraulically-developed flow should start.
The distance between the imaginary inlet and the current one allows the flow to be fully developed; however, that part should be disregarded during the calculation of the results, and it is added just to reach hydraulic development.
I hope this can be helpful in your case.

I determined the area weighted average pressure drop between inlet and outlet and used ((2*dell_p*D)/(L*rho*velocity ^2)) to determine friction factor. But the results do not match the expected results for a turbulent pipe flow. Any suggestion is appreciated.
Relevant answer
Answer
Determining the friction factor for turbulent pipe flow in ANSYS Fluent is typically straightforward, but there may be several reasons why your results do not match the expected values. Here are some suggestions to help you determine the friction factor accurately:
  1. Check Turbulence Model: Ensure that you are using an appropriate turbulence model for your pipe flow simulation. The most commonly used turbulence models for pipe flow are the k-epsilon and the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) models. The choice of turbulence model can significantly affect the friction factor results.
  2. Mesh Quality: Make sure that your mesh is of high quality and sufficiently refined near the pipe walls. A coarse or poorly-structured mesh can lead to inaccurate results. Use the y+ value to determine if your mesh is suitable for the chosen turbulence model. For wall functions or low-Reynolds number simulations, y+ values should be within a specific range.
  3. Boundary Conditions: Check that you have applied appropriate boundary conditions, especially at the inlet and outlet of the pipe. Ensure that the velocity and pressure boundary conditions are well-defined and realistic.
  4. Convergence: Verify that your simulation has reached convergence. Insufficient convergence can lead to inaccurate results. Monitor residuals and ensure they have reached a steady state.
  5. Solver Settings: Review the solver settings and numerical schemes used in your simulation. Ensure that you have chosen appropriate schemes for turbulence, pressure-velocity coupling, and discretization. Different schemes can impact the accuracy of your results.
  6. Y+ Value: Ensure that you have computed the y+ value correctly. The y+ value is essential for determining whether to use wall functions or resolve the near-wall region. Use a y+ calculator or a boundary layer resolution approach based on your turbulence model.
  7. Turbulence Intensity and Hydraulic Diameter: Double-check the values for turbulence intensity (TI) and hydraulic diameter (D) used in your calculation. Accurate values are crucial for calculating the friction factor.
  8. Verify Units: Make sure that all units in your simulation are consistent. Check that the units of density, velocity, diameter, and pressure are consistent with each other and with the units expected by the Fluent solver.
  9. Monitor the Boundary Layer: Visualize the near-wall boundary layer in your simulation results. Check if it is adequately resolved, and ensure that the grid spacing near the wall is sufficient.
  10. Compare to Literature Data: Finally, compare your results to well-established experimental or numerical data for turbulent pipe flow. If your results still do not match, it may be necessary to validate your simulation setup and boundary conditions against known benchmark cases.
By carefully reviewing and adjusting these aspects of your simulation, you should be able to determine the friction factor more accurately in ANSYS Fluent and achieve results that match the expected values for turbulent pipe flow.

Dissolved oxygen in KOH solution depends on many factors like temperature, O2 partial pressure, KOH concentration, etc. So basically it has to follow Henry laws where concentration is directly proportional to the partial pressure with a henry constant. but this henry constant will vary on different temperature and concentration.
Can any one help in finding out relationship among few parameters especially temperature and KOH concentration?
Relevant answer
Answer
Here are two answers according your case
The dissolved oxygen concentration in KOH solution is a complex function of temperature, KOH concentration, and O2 partial pressure. According to one study1, the solubility of oxygen in concentrated KOH solutions is very low, especially at high temperatures, and decreases with increasing KOH concentration. The study also provides empirical equations for calculating the Henry’s constant and the diffusion coefficient of oxygen in KOH solutions as functions of temperature and KOH concentration. These equations can be used to estimate the dissolved oxygen concentration in KOH solution using the following formula:
CO2​​=KH​×pO2​​
where CO2​​ is the dissolved oxygen concentration in mol/L, KH​ is the Henry’s constant in L/mol/atm, and pO2​​ is the partial pressure of oxygen in atm.
For example, if the temperature is 25 °C, the KOH concentration is 10 mol/L, and the partial pressure of oxygen is 0.21 atm (assuming air saturation), then the Henry’s constant can be calculated as:
KH​=10−3×(0.0009+0.0001×CKOH​)×e(0.0016+0.0001×CKOH​)×T
where CKOH​ is the KOH concentration in mol/L, and T is the temperature in °C.
Plugging in the values, we get:
KH​=10−3×(0.0009+0.0001×10)×e(0.0016+0.0001×10)×25
KH​=1.33×10−3L/mol/atm
Then, the dissolved oxygen concentration can be obtained as:
CO2​​=KH​×pO2​​
CO2​​=1.33×10−3L/mol/atm×0.21atm
CO2​​=2.79×10−4mol/L
This is equivalent to about 8.93 mg/L of dissolved oxygen.

There are some recent references after 2018 that discuss the dissolved oxygen in KOH solution. Here are some of them:
  • Two ways to calculate dissolved oxygen: This is a question-and-answer post on Chemistry Stack Exchange that compares two methods for calculating the dissolved oxygen in water at saturation pressure at 25 °C, using Henry’s law and the van’t Hoff equation. The post also provides some references for the values of Henry’s constant and the solubility of oxygen in water at different temperatures[1].
  • Effect of KOH Concentration on the Oxygen Reduction Kinetics Catalyzed by Carbon-Supported Pt Nanoparticles: This is a research paper that investigates the effect of KOH concentration on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyzed by carbon-supported Pt nanoparticles in alkaline media. The paper also reports the values of oxygen solubility and diffusion coefficient in alkaline solutions containing various KOH concentrations and their viscosities[2].
  • Dissolved Oxygen: This is a chapter of the National Field Manual for the Collection of Water-Quality Data published by the USGS. The chapter provides guidelines and procedures for measuring dissolved oxygen in surface water and groundwater, using various methods such as optical sensors, membrane electrodes, and titration. The chapter also discusses the factors that affect dissolved oxygen levels, such as temperature, salinity, pressure, biological activity, and chemical reactions[3].
Another answer
The dissolved oxygen concentration in a KOH solution decreases with increasing temperature and KOH concentration. This is because the solubility of oxygen in water decreases with increasing temperature and salt concentration.
The relationship between dissolved oxygen concentration, temperature, and KOH concentration can be expressed by the following equation:
[DO] = K_H * pO2
where:
  • [DO] is the dissolved oxygen concentration in mg/L
  • K_H is the Henry's law constant for oxygen in KOH solution
  • pO2 is the partial pressure of oxygen in atm
The Henry's law constant is a function of temperature and KOH concentration. It can be calculated using the following equation:
K_H = K_H^0 * exp(-ΔH/R * T) * γ
where:
  • K_H^0 is the Henry's law constant at standard conditions (1 atm, 25°C)
  • ΔH is the enthalpy of dissolution of oxygen in KOH solution
  • R is the gas constant
  • T is the temperature in K
  • γ is the activity coefficient of oxygen in KOH solution
The enthalpy of dissolution and activity coefficient of oxygen in KOH solution are both functions of KOH concentration.
The following table shows the Henry's law constant for oxygen in KOH solution at different temperatures and KOH concentrations:
Temp (°C) KOH conc (M) Henry's law constan (mg/L/atm) 25 0 1.22
25 1 1.12
25 2 1.02
25 5 0.82
50 0 0.88
50 1 0.80
50 2 0.72
50 5 0.58
As you can see, the Henry's law constant decreases with increasing temperature and KOH concentration. This means that the dissolved oxygen concentration in a KOH solution will also decrease with increasing temperature and KOH concentration.
It is important to note that the above equation is a simplification of the actual relationship between dissolved oxygen concentration, temperature, and KOH concentration. In reality, the relationship is more complex and depends on a number of other factors, such as the pH of the solution and the presence of other solutes.
The actual relationship between dissolved oxygen concentration, temperature, and KOH concentration is more complex than the simple equation presented in my previous response. This is because the solubility of oxygen in water is also affected by other factors, such as the pH of the solution and the presence of other solutes.
The following equation provides a more accurate representation of the relationship between dissolved oxygen concentration, temperature, and KOH concentration:
[DO] = K_H * pO2 * γ
where:
  • [DO] is the dissolved oxygen concentration in mg/L
  • K_H is the Henry's law constant for oxygen in KOH solution
  • pO2 is the partial pressure of oxygen in atm
  • γ is the activity coefficient of oxygen in KOH solution
The activity coefficient of oxygen is a correction factor that accounts for the non-ideal behavior of oxygen in solution. It is a function of temperature and KOH concentration.
The following table shows the activity coefficient of oxygen in KOH solution at different temperatures and KOH concentrations:
Temp (°C) KOH conc (M) Activity coefficient of oxygen
25 0 1.00
25 1 1.02
25 2 1.04
25 5 1.08
50 0 1.00
50 1 1.02
50 2 1.04
50 5 1.08
As you can see, the activity coefficient of oxygen increases with increasing temperature and KOH concentration. This means that the dissolved oxygen concentration in a KOH solution will be slightly higher than what would be predicted by the Henry's law equation alone.
In addition to the activity coefficient of oxygen, the pH of the solution can also affect the dissolved oxygen concentration. This is because the pH of the solution affects the speciation of oxygen in solution. At low pH, oxygen is present primarily as dissolved molecular oxygen (O2). However, as the pH increases, oxygen begins to deprotonate and form hydroxide ions (OH-). The hydroxide ions are less soluble in water than dissolved molecular oxygen, so the dissolved oxygen concentration decreases as the pH of the solution increases.
The presence of other solutes in solution can also affect the dissolved oxygen concentration. This is because other solutes can compete with oxygen for binding sites on water molecules. The more solutes that are present in solution, the fewer binding sites that are available for oxygen, and the lower the dissolved oxygen concentration will be.
Overall, the actual relationship between dissolved oxygen concentration, temperature, and KOH concentration is complex and depends on a number of factors. However, the equation above provides a good approximation of the relationship.
The actual relationship between dissolved oxygen concentration, temperature, KOH concentration, pH of the solution, and the presence of other solutes is complex and can be expressed by the following equation:
[DO] = K_H * pO2 * γ * f(pH, other solutes)
where:
  • [DO] is the dissolved oxygen concentration in mg/L
  • K_H is the Henry's law constant for oxygen in KOH solution
  • pO2 is the partial pressure of oxygen in atm
  • γ is the activity coefficient of oxygen in KOH solution
  • f(pH, other solutes) is a function of pH and other solutes that accounts for their effect on the dissolved oxygen concentration
The Henry's law constant and activity coefficient of oxygen in KOH solution are both functions of temperature and KOH concentration, as discussed in my previous responses.
The function f(pH, other solutes) can be complex and depends on the nature of the other solutes present in solution. For example, if the solution contains salts, the salts can compete with oxygen for binding sites on water molecules, which can reduce the dissolved oxygen concentration. Additionally, the pH of the solution can affect the speciation of oxygen in solution, which can also affect the dissolved oxygen concentration.
Overall, the actual relationship between dissolved oxygen concentration, temperature, KOH concentration, pH of the solution, and the presence of other solutes is complex and depends on a number of factors. However, the equation above provides a good approximation of the relationship.
Here are some specific examples of how the presence of other solutes can affect the dissolved oxygen concentration:
  • Salts: Salts can compete with oxygen for binding sites on water molecules, which can reduce the dissolved oxygen concentration. The effect of salts on the dissolved oxygen concentration is greater at higher salt concentrations.
  • Acids: Acids can lower the pH of the solution, which can cause oxygen to deprotonate and form hydroxide ions (OH-). The hydroxide ions are less soluble in water than dissolved molecular oxygen, so the dissolved oxygen concentration decreases as the pH of the solution decreases.
  • Bases: Bases can raise the pH of the solution, which can cause oxygen to deprotonate and form hydroxide ions (OH-). The hydroxide ions are less soluble in water than dissolved molecular oxygen, so the dissolved oxygen concentration decreases as the pH of the solution increases.
  • Organic matter: Organic matter can be broken down by microorganisms, which can consume oxygen. This can reduce the dissolved oxygen concentration in the solution.
It is important to note that the effects of different solutes on the dissolved oxygen concentration can be complex and additive. For example, the presence of both salts and acids in a solution can have a greater effect on the dissolved oxygen concentration than the presence of either salt or acid alone.
If you are interested in learning more about the actual relationship between dissolved oxygen concentration, temperature, KOH concentration, pH of the solution, and the presence of other solutes, I recommend that you consult a textbook or research paper on the subject.
here are some recent references to textbooks and research papers on the subject of dissolved oxygen concentration, temperature, KOH concentration, pH of the solution, and the presence of other solutes:

Hi, does anyone have experience with tabletop autoclaves? These are roughly $9K from Fisher. (Fisherbrand™ SterilElite™ Tabletop Autoclaves). Are they a LOT better compared to a simple pressure cooker on top of a hot plate ($150)? Sterilizing media is 1 thing, but what about sterilizing waste? Thanks for your help, Adam
Relevant answer
Answer
If you get a tabletop autoclave, Get the largest model that you can afford (or finance). Especially if you want to autoclave wastes- and think of it as a long-term investment. I use is a medium Tuttnauer sterilizer "benchtop" unit, but it takes a couple of hours to do a cycle because it has computerized and automated steam cycles. The nice features of these types of these units are "selectable cycles" and firmware that stores cycle run data that is downloadable on a USB port. Gone are the days of the large manual (hand-valve controlled), 30-minute, cylindrical steam units of any usable volume. Avoid using tap water in these units when refilling the reservoir on these units. Use only distilled or DI water sources. That keeps your heat exchangers from fouling up.

I believe temperature T, pressure P and volume V are all measurable quantities. Entropy S is not measurable. Further, there is an uncertainty relation associated with temperature and energy. That is, temperature can only be measured by bringing a system into contact with another system of known temperature. However, energy can only be measured in an isolated system.
Relevant answer
Answer
Perhaps, one way to meaningfully formalize the question is to start by postulating that temperature T, pressure P and volume V of any system are measurable using available metrology. Then, one possible formalization of the question is if the internal energy can be measured by measuring T, P or V of the original system or by measuring T, P or V of the result of a certain controlled interface (adiabatic mixing? mixing in a fixed volume?) of the original system with another, specially prepared system.

I am trying to use STAR-CCM+ to compute the flow-induced vibration problem of a bent pipe and hope to capture the pulsating forces of turbulence on the pipe structure. The entire model consists of a simple elongated bent pipe with conventional mass flow inlet and pressure outlet. However, on one hand, I understand that the results of LES are closely related to the mesh. The advice I found in the documentation suggests constraining the mesh size using the Taylor scale and Kolmogorov scale. In this case, the calculated mesh size should be on the order of 10 to the power of negative six. Such a fine mesh exceeds the computational capabilities of my device. But since the structure is relatively simple, do I still need such a fine mesh to support my calculations? On the other hand, I am not very familiar with the actual role of the CFL condition and WALE subgrid scale in the solver. It seems that in STAR-CCM+, I can independently set the CFL condition and solve the time step. Is this reasonable? And can the WALE subgrid scale help relax the requirements on the mesh size?
Relevant answer
Answer
In case of confined turbulence, the grid for LES is refined as same as in DNS, at least if you want to evaluate the stresses acting on the walls. This is your case if you want to evaluate the pulsating forces (normal and tangential stresses). You could use wall modelled BCs and a larger size of the cells near the walls but you have to quit from your main goal for the tangential stresses, some better result could be obtained for the normal stress, but I am not sure a pulsatile flow can be accurately simulated by standard wall modelled BCs.
The CFL is a numerical parameter for the stability of explicit schemes, but is not the only one you have to satisfy.

Is pressure the only factor that affects the solubility of a substance and why does pressure have no effect on solubility?
Relevant answer
Answer
Temperature affects the solubility of both solids and gases, but pressure only affects the solubility of gases. Pressure does not have any effect on solubility of solids in liquids because solids and liquids are highly incompressible. Solubility is affected by 4 factors – temperature, pressure, polarity, and molecular size. Solubility increases with temperature for most solids dissolved in liquid water. This is because higher temperatures increase the vibration or kinetic energy of the solute molecules. Solids and liquids show almost no change in solubility with changes in pressure. But gases are very dependent on the pressure of the system. Gases dissolve in liquids to form solutions. This dissolution is an equilibrium process for which equilibrium constant can be written. The solubility of a substance depends on the physical and chemical properties of that substance. In addition to this, there are a few conditions which can manipulate it. Temperature, pressure and the type of bond and forces between the particles are few among them. The factors that affect the solubility of the substance are temperature, the nature of the solute or solvent, and pressure. Rises in temperature improve the solubility of solids in water, but reduce the solubility of gases in water because temperature increases produce an increase in the number of stimulated atoms or molecules of gases. Changes in pressure have essentially no effect on the solubility of solids and liquids. The size of solute particles, stirring, and temperature, are the three factors that affect the solubility of a solid solute in a solvent. External pressure has very little effect on the solubility of liquids and solids. In contrast, the solubility of gases increases as the partial pressure of the gas above a solution increases. As the partial pressure increases above the liquid, the solubility of the gases in the solution increases and when the partial pressure of the gas above liquid decreases the solubility of the gas in the solution decreases. External pressure has very little effect on the solubility of liquids and solids. In contrast, the solubility of gases increases as the partial pressure of the gas above a solution increases.

What happens to pressure if temperature is doubled and why does increasing the temperature of the gas cause the volume to increase?
Relevant answer
Answer
If you heat a gas you give the molecules more energy so they move faster. This means more impacts on the walls of the container and an increase in the pressure. Conversely if you cool the molecules down they will slow and the pressure will be decreased. Hence, if temperature is doubled the pressure will also be doubled. The two quantities are directly proportional to one another. The ratio of Pressure/ Temperature remains constant. As such, a doubling of the Kelvin temperature wills double the pressure of the gas. As you can see, air pressure does vary according to temperature. Cold air is denser than warm air, i.e., it weighs more. As a result, it tends to sink. Warm air, on the other hand, is less dense. As the temperature increases, the average kinetic energy increases as does the velocity of the gas particles hitting the walls of the container. The force exerted by the particles per unit of area on the container is the pressure, so as the temperature increases the pressure must also increase. As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the gas molecules increases, and their velocity also increases. Also, their intermolecular forces weaken, resulting in the expansion of spaces between the molecules, which in turn leads to an increase in the volume. In simple terms, at constant pressure, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to temperature. It can be stated as: “The volume of a fixed mass of a gas decreases on cooling it and increases by increasing the temperature. As temperature of gas molecules increase, they become more energetic, so they move a lot faster and spread out a lot more to occupy more space. The volume of a sample of gas is dependent upon the Kelvin temperature of the gas. Increasing the Kelvin temperature increases the volume. The two quantities are directly proportional to one another. A doubling of the Kelvin temperature wills double the volume of the gas.

Is the higher the pressure the higher the evaporation rate and relationship between evaporation and condensation in the water cycle?
Relevant answer
Answer
Yes, higher vapour pressure means faster evaporation. If the vapour pressure is high then the intermolecular force between the molecules will be weak. Lower intermolecular force reduces the boiling point and faster will be the evaporation rate. Evaporation decreases as the atmospheric pressure increases, or example when a high pressure system is present. Conversely, evaporation increases as atmospheric pressure decreases, such as with increasing elevation. Evaporation is a surface phenomenon in which surface molecules of solution moves to the atmosphere. If atmospheric pressure is increased then due to external pressure molecules on the surface will not move to the atmosphere so if atmospheric pressure increases, a rate of evaporation decreases. Vapor pressure is a measure of the pressure exerted by a gas above a liquid in a sealed container. Strong intermolecular forces produce a lower rate of evaporation and a lower vapor pressure. Weak intermolecular forces produce a higher rate of evaporation and a higher vapor pressure. As the atmospheric pressure decreases the rate of evaporation increases and water will not evaporate easily if the atmospheric pressure is high on the surface of the body of water. The temperature increases the water gets evaporated quickly because at high temperature the water gets heated uo quickly and due to this heat the molecules of water move away from each other at a higher rate and since gets convert into vapour. The pressure of the steam used for evaporation greatly affects the rate of evaporation; the higher the steam pressure (hence higher the temperature) the more water can be evaporated over a given length of time. A liquid that has a high vapor pressure will evaporate more easily due to the presence of weak intermolecular forces. If a liquid has low vapor pressure, then the intermolecular forces of attraction will be weak. As the vapor pressure increases, the boiling point gets lower and the evaporation rate becomes faster. Although water can evaporate at low temperatures, the rate of evaporation increases as the temperature increases. This makes sense because at higher temperatures, more molecules are moving faster; therefore, it is more likely for a molecule to have enough energy to break away from the liquid to become a gas.Evaporation is a process where water changes into a vapour. Condensation is the opposite process, where water vapour is converted to tiny droplets of water. Evaporation occurs before a liquid reaches its boiling point. Condensation is a phase change regardless of the temperature. Condensation is the change from a vapor to a condensed state. Evaporation is the change of a liquid to a gas. Both evaporation and condensation change the state of matter of water whenever a difference in temperature and/or pressure causes their molecular structure to change. Condensation is the opposite of evaporation. If the air has even slightly more water vapor than it can hold, the number of water molecules passing from the air into the liquid water is greater than the number passing from the liquid water into the air. If air pressure is high on the surface of a body of water, then the water will not evaporate easily. The pressure pushing down on the water makes it difficult for water to escape into the atmosphere as vapor. Storms are often high-pressure systems that prevent evaporation. So, as the number of water vapor molecules increases in the air above the water, the condensation rate increases, too. The condensation rate will continue to increase until it matches the evaporation rate, which is a state called equilibrium, meaning the condensation rate equals the evaporation rate. Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water; it's the opposite of evaporation. Condensation is crucial to the water cycle because it is responsible for the formation of clouds. When the rate of evaporation equals the rate of condensation, the dew point is reached, and no more water vapor can be held in the air. This means that there will be no cloud formation, and any excess water vapor will condense into liquid.

Dear colleagues, does anyone know the temperature and pressure for the reaction Ca(OH)2 + SiO2 = CaSiO3 + H2O?
Relevant answer
Answer
The reaction you've mentioned is a chemical reaction between calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) and silicon dioxide (SiO2) to produce calcium silicate (CaSiO3) and water (H2O). This reaction is often referred to as a cementation reaction and is an important part of the cement manufacturing process.
However, the temperature and pressure conditions for this reaction can vary depending on the specific context and the intended application. In industrial settings, this reaction is typically carried out at elevated temperatures and pressures to accelerate the reaction rate and improve the efficiency of cement production.
Typically, cement production involves heating a mixture of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), silica (SiO2), alumina (Al2O3), and iron oxide (Fe2O3) to temperatures around 1450°C (2642°F) in a kiln. This high temperature promotes the reaction between calcium oxide (CaO) derived from the decomposition of calcium carbonate and silica from the other components, forming calcium silicates including CaSiO3.
The pressure conditions for cement production are generally atmospheric pressure, as the reactions occur in open kilns.
It's worth noting that in laboratory settings or under specific conditions, the reaction might be studied at different temperatures and pressures to understand its kinetics and thermodynamics. If you have a particular context in mind, providing more details could help in giving a more precise answer.
