### 3 What does “no characteristic length or time scale” mean?

When looking into the topic of "self-organized criticality," (SOC) one often comes across descriptions of SOC as a state where "the system has no characteristic length or time scale." (Examples here ...

### 12 Boiling point of barbecue sauce

Yes, I am serious. I thought it was interesting that I was reducing some fluid the other day, and I put in my alerting thermometer to warn me of a rising temperature which I expected as the water ...

### -2 Which form of energy increases when a liquid undergoes a transition to the gaseous state? [closed]

In transition from liquid to vapour phase most of the heat goes to increase the- A. Internal energy B. Potential energy C. Temperature D. Both internal energy and potential energy.

### 3 Heat capacity across a phase transition-inconsistency?

1 answers, 446 views thermodynamics phase-transition
In the books I have seen two descriptions of what the heat capacity does across a first-order phase transition. The diagram below seems to indicate that it decreases whilst in other places I have seen ...

### Dynamic critical exponents of Curie-Weiss model

0 answers, 15 views phase-transition critical-phenomena
I'm looking for the dynamical exponent z (relaxation time) of the Curie-Weiss - Ising like model with infinite-range interactions ($J \sim 1/N$). Does anyone know a reference where this was solved? ...

### 2 Phase Transitions (Statistical Mechanics) Book Recommendation

I am Studying Phase Transitions, starting from simple VdW equation up to Mean-Field&Landau Theory. I have many books such as Huang Kerson-Statistical mechanics, Yeomans- Statistical Mechanics of ...

### 6 Does a negative line tension in a 3-fluid immiscible interface make sense?

1 answers, 514 views thermodynamics phase-transition
This question is inspired by this question/answer pair: Is this formula for the energy of a configuration of 3 fluids physically reasonable? Consider three immiscible fluids forming contact surfaces, ...

### 1 Why is boiling a non-equilibrium process? [closed]

Boiling is a non-equilibrium process. Which equilibrium (mechanical, chemical and thermal) are not maintained during boiling and why?

### 1 Evaporation amount of water for a Storm [on hold]

How much water from the ocean is evaporated for a storm over water? I am trying to figure out what conditions will cause the most evaporation or how to calculate the amount of water evaporated for a ...

### 4 Why a superconductor expel magnetic lines of force from inside completely when cooled below critical temperature?

Suppose a superconductor which is in a normal state (i.e. $T>Tc$) is subjected to a magnetic field. As soon as magnetic field switched from 0 to some value, eddy currents will develop on the ...

### 5 Phase Transitions from a Bayesian Perspective of Statistical Mechanics

I have been reading papers by E.T. Jaynes recently about viewing all of statistical mechanics as just Bayesian inference applied to physics. (For an introduction: https://journals.aps.org/pr/abstract/...

### 2 How to numerically calculate Fisher zeros?

The main quantity in the study of dynamical quantum phase transition (DQPT) is Loschmidt echo amplitude defined as $G(t)=\langle \Psi_{0}|\Psi_{0}(t)\rangle=\langle \Psi_{0}|e^{-iHt}|\Psi_{0}\rangle$...

### 3 Phase transition in a generalised SYK model

Crossposted from math.stackexchange. (Link: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2848558/is-this-function-meromorphic) Question Let e^{g\left(\tau,T,J_1,J_2\right)}=\frac{2}{\left(\frac{J_1}{...

### -1 Why does evaporation cause cooling?

I am aware that the evaporation process causes cooling in the remaining liquid, but why? If anyone can give me the maths and or equations to prove / show this I would be most appreciative.
