The purposes of this paper are (a) to examine the effect of calorimeter time constant (τ) on heat rate data from a single enzyme injection into substrate in an isothermal titration calorimeter (ITC), (b) to provide information that can be used to predict the optimum experimental conditions for determining the rate constant (k2), Michaelis constant (KM), and enthalpy change of the reaction (ΔRH)...

The engine and its exhaust flow behaviors are investigated in a turbo-charged gasoline direct injection engine under simulated cold-fast-idle condition. The metrics of interest are the exhaust sensible and chemical enthalpy flows, and the exhaust temperature, all of which affect catalyst light off time. The exhaust sensible enthalpy flow is mainly a function of combustion phasing; the exhaust c...

Production wells on deliverability are often used in modelling geothermal fields, especially for simulations of future scenarios. The mass flow rate is calculated by multiplying the productivity index by mobility and the difference between flowing bottom-hole pressure and the reservoir block pressure. Here three options are considered for calculating the bottom-hole pressure: (i) constant, (ii)...

Thermal and infrared spectroscopic analyzes were carried out in order to study the kind of interaction between the anatomical components of the bleached eucalyptus kraft pulp with offset inks. A Bauer-McNett fiber classifier was used in order to obtain the anatomical components of the pulp, separately. The determinations of the enthalpy of the processes occurring in the samples of inks and pulp...

Abstract Protein-polymer conjugates are a promising class of biohybrids. In this work, the dynamics set biodegradable myoglobin-poly(ethyl ethylene phosphate) (My-PEEP) with variations in number attached polymers and their molar mass dry-state, have been investigated to understand role polymer on protein dynamics. We performed Differential Scanning Calorimetry measurements between 190 300 K, ob...

A membrane-based enthalpy exchanger is a device used for heat and humidity recovery in ventilated buildings. The energy-saving potential of such dependent on the parameters responsible moisture recovery. trend toward composite membranes, which are custom produced, their can be adjusted given application; therefore, diffusion sorption characteristics membranes unknown. In order to obtain values ...

Mechanical loss spectra (two peaks) observed in ZrO, doped with Y,O, (2-10 mol%), are attributed to oxygen vacancy 0-yttrium (Y) associates (V-Y pairs and V-2Y agglomerates). Both peaks were analysed numerically by applying the coupling model. It has been shown that: i) the activation enthalpy H for both peaks increases with Y20, content, ii) the values of coupling parameter n are about 0.6 0.7...

A two-dimensional transient axi-symmetric model was developed to study the effects of various thermal and geometric parameters on cyclic heating and cooling modes of a phase-change thermal energy storage system. The high-temperature thermal energy storage device utilizes LiH for heat sink applications to store the waste heat generated during power-burst periods. The stored heat is then discharg...
