Sentences with phrase «macroscopic particles»

What I like for visualization purposes is to think of greenhouse agents (gases or other) as acting like macroscopic particles — for ease of reference, let's say Ping - pong balls — suspended in the air.

Granular gases are systems that contain macroscopic particles in low density.

I analyzed the superficial plausibility of Perry's example before in pointing out that it is borrowed from the macroscopic realm which is for all practical purposes deterministic; the predictability of any macroscopic particle is only approximate and does not alter the basic contingencies of the elementary microphysical events of which a «particle» consists.

Macroscopic bodies are composites of a mass of material particles which, right down to the smallest atomic (indivisible) particles, are still bodies.

20 It has been argued that subatomic particles require a different logic than the one that applies to macroscopic entities.

When it comes to energy transport, these particles adhere to scientific norms that govern macroscopic linear systems — including chains of equal - sized masses with springs in between them — that are visible to the naked eye.

It takes a huge amount of data to describe a star, the precursor of a black hole — from macroscopic properties such as its size and temperature down to the microscopic properties of its constituent particles.

Physics also deals separately with the microscopic — the individual movements of particles in a gas, say — and the macroscopic, for example when the sum...

In the macroscopic view, such particles are indeed large, but in the microscopic view, each small part of a large dust particle scatters radio waves and produces unique polarization features.

Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that studies the effects of changes in temperature, pressure, and volume on physical systems at the macroscopic scale by analyzing the collective motion of their particles using statistics.

The simple answer is that wave / particle duality, as it is called, is present in the macroscopic world — but we can't see it.

Thus, we can determine the wavelength of very small particles, but not of large macroscopic items such as basketballs.

Why isn't the dual wave / particle nature of the quantum mechanical world present in the macroscopic world (say, for a basketball)?

(Larger objects also exist in particle and wave form, but the effect is not noticeable in the macroscopic world.)

It describes particles, atoms and molecules but gives way to ordinary classical physics on the macroscopic scales of pears, people and planets.

But the critical question, with both fundamental and practical implications, is whether quantum entanglement can be achieved beyond the microscopic realm of elementary particles and into the everyday or «macroscopic» world.

Prof. Leticia Tarruell comments: «These droplets are fascinating macroscopic objects: even if they are made up of thousands of particles, their behavior is still fully determined by quantum fluctuations and correlations.

The article also critical reviewed a range of unique prototype designs including water - vapor systems, solar concentrator couple PEC systems, macroscopic planar systems, micro-structured PEC systems and particle - based PEC systems.

The research, published in the journal Science Advances, shows that underneath the shroud of inherently uncertain probability, the behavior of quantum particles may very well be similar to their macroscopic counterparts.

Decreasing the size would be good only to a point, as the smallest particles tend to plasticize at low loadings and aggregate at high loadings, both of which harm macroscopic... -LSB-...]

In order to accurately model the behavior of the accretion disk that orbits our galaxy's supermassive black hole, the researchers used a method that tracked the motion and path of individual particles — rather than one that treats the motion of plasma as a macroscopic fluid.

, but it is the foundation for this question itself: How do microscopic material properties (which are the basis for macroscopic properties) arise from quantum mechanical properties of fundamental particles and atoms?

100 % certainty means we know every possible potential driver of global temperature on the scales of subatomic particles, atoms and molecules, the microscopic, the macroscopic, the Earth, the Solar System, the galaxy, and the Universe.

Joe: «You additionally observe that I am «taking the extreme and irrelevant sub-thermodynamic case of a minuscule total number of isolated particles — in which regime the macroscopic temperature is increasingly ill - defined and no longer simply proportional to the kinetic energy per particle.»

You are wilfully taking the extreme and irrelevant sub-thermodynamic case of a minuscule total number of isolated particles — in which regime the macroscopic temperature is increasingly ill - defined and no longer simply proportional to the kinetic energy per particle — and torturing it to produce something that looks a bit like a macroscopic lapse rate, but is really nothing more than a mathematical artefact of absolutely no significance.

All may comments are on this case and similar other cases, they are not about cases, where experiments can be repeated arbitrarily many times or were the physical system consists of a large number of particles that are controlled with identical constraints as the gas molecules are in a macroscopic volume of gas.
