Triple delta potential [on hold]

I'm looking for the bound energy of a triple-delta potential: $V(x) = -w \left [ \delta(x-a) + \delta(x) + \delta(x+a) \right ]$ My wave function is $\psi_1(x) = A e^{\kappa x}$ for $x < -a$, ...

Why do tropical cyclones not tear themselves apart?

A tropical cyclone is the generic term for a hurricane, typhoon, or tropical storm. Tropical cyclones derive their energy from evaporation of water at the ocean surface which ultimately recondenses ...

2 Nucleon Potential

I am looking at a 2 Nucleon potential of the form $$V(r)=V_0(r)[a+bI_1\cdot I_2]$$ Where a and b are constants. $I_1,I_2$ are isospins. $V_0(r)$ is of the square well form. My goal is to find an ...

Curvilinear coordinate system around body of revolution

In Boundary-Layer Theory by Schlichting he gives the boundary-layer equations for a body of revolution according to the paper by Boltze$^1$. Unfortunately, this paper is in German. He apparently uses ...

What happens in a circuit, when the wire and the battery are superconducting. And shorted

When a wire with no resistance is connected to the terminals of an ideal battery, will a current exist in the circuit? If a capacitor is added to the circuit, will it be charged by the battery or will ...

Joining 2 capacitors in a circuit [on hold]

Consider 2 capacitors having capacitance $C_1$ and $C_2$ charged to potential $V_1$ and $V_2 (V_1>V_2)$. If a circuit was made in which just the 2 capacitors were connected together, would it ...

What is the difference between mechanical and thermodynamic pressure?

To start with I know thermodynamics deals with processes at equilibrium. Hence the thermodynamic pressure should most likely be the pressure of a fluid at equilibrium. I'm not sure if a fluid flow ...
