These include the development and maintenance of the national standards of measurement and the provision of means and methods for making measurements consistent with these standards; the determination of physical constants and properties of materials; the development of methods and instruments for testing materials, devices, and structures; advisory services to government agencies on scientific and technical problems; in- vention and development of devices to serve special needs of the Government; and the development of standard practices, codes, and specifications. The work includes basic and applied research, development, engineering, instrumentation, testing, evaluation, calibration services, and various consultation and information services. Research projects are also performed for other government agencies when the work relates to and supplements the basic program of the Bureau or when the Bureau's unique competence is required. The scope of activities is suggested by the listing of divisions and sections on the inside of the back cover. Publications The results of the Bureau's work take the form of either actual equipment and devices or pub- lished papers. These papers appear either in the Bureau's own series of publications or in the journals of professional and scientific societies. The Bureau itself publishes three periodicals available from the Government Printing Office: The Journal of Research, published in four separate sections, presents complete scientific and technical papers; the Technical News Bulletin presents summary and pre- liminary reports on work in progress; and Basic Radio Propagation Predictions provides data for determining the best frequencies to use for radio communications throughout the world.

  • Alkali Metal Vapor Pressures & Number Densities for Hybrid Spin Exchange Optical Pumping
    Alkali Metal Vapor Pressures & Number Densities for Hybrid Spin Exchange Optical Pumping Jaideep Singh, Peter A. M. Dolph, & William A. Tobias University of Virginia Version 1.95 April 23, 2008 Abstract Vapor pressure curves and number density formulas for the alkali metals are listed and compared from the 1995 CRC, Nesmeyanov, and Killian. Formulas to obtain the temperature, the dimer to monomer density ratio, and the pure vapor ratio given an alkali density are derived. Considerations and formulas for making a prescribed hybrid vapor ratio of alkali to Rb at a prescribed alkali density are presented.

It is a consequence of the equality between the chemical potentials of the vapor and liquid (solid). The derivation can be found in any undergraduate text on thermodynamics (e.g. Kittel & Kroemer [1]): Δv · ∂P = L · ∂T/T (1) where P is the pressure, T is the temperature, L is the latent heat of vaporization (sublimation) per particle, and Δv is given by: Vv Vl(s) Δv = vv − vl(s) = − (2) Nv Nl(s) where V is the volume occupied by the particles, N is the number of particles, and the subscripts v & l(s) refer to the vapor & liquid (solid) respectively.

    Supernova light curves and spectra Lecture notes for lessons 4-8 for “Stellar explosions”, TUM, 2017 Anders Jerkstrand [email protected] Overview 51 A CCSN explosion deposits an energy Edep 10 erg in the core of the star. This energy is spread to the whole star by∼ a shock wave propagating with 4 −1 v 10 kms . It reaches the surface after a time t = R0/v , shock ∼ surf shock where R0 is the stellar radius. We can estimate t 1 minute for R0 =1 R⊙, surf ∼ tsurf 1 day for R0 = 500 R⊙ (Red SuperGiant (RSG)). This begins the light display∼. Equipartition. In the limit of strong shocks (vshock vsound), one can show that radiation-dominated gas fulfills equipartition: ≫ 1 E0 = E0 = E (1) int kin 2 dep I.e., in the shock wake, energy is equally divided between internal random energy and bulk kinetic energy (as the layers are both accelerated and heated). This limit is a good approximation for SNe (v 10 kms−1). sound ∼ Basic physics of the fireball The first law of thermodynamics states that “the change in internal energy equals energy deposited, minus (net) energy transported out, minus work done (pdV)”. For a moving gas we write this law on Lagrangian (comoving) form, where m is he coordinate rather than x or v: δe (m,t) ∂L(m,t) ∂ (1/ρ(m,t)) int = s(m,t) p(m,t) (2) δt − ∂m − ∂t −1 Here eint is the internal energy per unit mass (erg g ), s is the energy injection per unit mass and time (erg s−1 g−1), L is the luminosity (erg s−1), p is pressure (barye =dyne cm−2 = erg cm−3), and ρ is the density (g cm−3).

  • Quantum Mechanics Pressure
    Quantum Mechanics_Pressure Pressure Common symbols P SI unit Pascal (Pa) In SI base units 1 kg/(m·s2) Derivations from other quantities P = F / A Pressure as exerted by particle collisions inside a closed container. Pressure (symbol: P or p) is the ratio of force to the area over which that force is distributed. Pressure is force per unit area applied in a direction perpendicular to the surface of an object. Gauge pressure (also spelled gagepressure)[a] is the pressure relative to the local atmospheric or ambient pressure. Pressure is measured in any unit of force divided by any unit of area. The SI unit of pressure is thenewton per square metre, which is called thePascal (Pa) after the seventeenth-century philosopher and scientist Blaise Pascal. A pressure of 1 Pa is small; it approximately equals the pressure exerted by a dollar bill resting flat on a table. Everyday pressures are often stated in kilopascals (1 kPa = 1000 Pa). Definition Pressure is the amount of force acting per unit area. The symbol of pressure is p.[b][1] Formula Conjugate variables of thermodynamics Pressure Volume (Stress) (Strain) Temperature Entropy Chemical potential Particle number Mathematically: where: is the pressure, is the normal force, is the area of the surface on contact. Pressure is a scalar quantity. It relates the vector surface element (a vector normal to the surface) with the normal force acting on it. The pressure is the scalarproportionality constant that relates the two normal vectors: The minus sign comes from the fact that the force is considered towards the surface element, while the normal vector points outward.
