This paper presents a model-based cell-health-conscious thermal energy management method. An Arrhenius equation-based mathematical model is firstly identified to quantify the effect of temperature on the cell lifetime of a Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery pack. The cell aging datasets collected under multiple ambient temperatures are applied to extract the Arrhenius equation parameters. The ...

1. The effect of temperature on the reaction time of Mya to light is mainly confined to the latent period. The sensitization period, representing a photochemical process, is changed comparatively little. 2. The relation between the latent period and the temperature is adequately expressed by the Arrhenius equation, for temperatures below 21 degrees C. Above this temperature, the latent period b...

We determine both barrier heights and prefactors for protein folding by applying constraints determined from experimental rate measurements to a Kramers theory for folding rate. The theoretical values are required to match the experimental values at two conditions of temperature and denaturant that induce the same stability. Several expressions for the prefactor in the Kramers rate equation are...

The rate of hydrolysis of trans -[Cr(NH ) F ] was obtained as a function of acid concentsation in perchloric, sulfuric and nitric acid at 3Q°C. The results have been analyzed by the treatment of Bunnett and Olsen. Values of the parameter ?in Olsen equation are consistent with the participation of water as a proton-wansfer agent in the rate-determining step. The Arrhenius plot for perchlori...

In the present research, synthesis of butyl oleate ester from oleic acid and butanol using loofa-immobilized Rhizopus oryzae as a whole cell biocatalyst (LIC) was studied in which hexane was used as the hydrophobic solvent. Decrease of mass transfer limitations as result of the interface formation between the two immiscible substrates, positively affected on the reaction progress (87% as the es...

In this paper, by means of Advanced Rheometric Expanded System (ARES), oscillatory and steady shear behavior of binary mixtures of a quaternary ammonium based ionic liquid [Me3NC2H4OH][Zn2Cl5] with ethanol (EtOH) were determined at 25°C and 25-50°C, respectively. The effects of shear rate, temperature and concentration on viscosity were elucidated sufficiently. It was found that the solutions s...

We consider an open two-level system driven by a piecewise constant periodic field and described by a rate equation with Fermi, Bose, and Arrhenius rates, respectively. We derive an analytical expression for the generating function and large deviation function of the work performed by the field and show that a work fluctuation theorem holds.
