the thermodynamic of the known and very effective catalytic system, hydrogen peroxide (h2o2) and methyltrioxorhenium (mto) is studied in different solvents using uv-visible spectroscopic method. the thermodynamic parameters (δg, δh and δs) for two equilibrium reactions, mto + h2o2 ⇌ a + h2o and a + h2o2 ⇌ b.h2o (a, [mere(o)2(o2)]; b.h2o, [mere(oh2)(o)(o2)2]), are determined. the obtained free e...

Heat recuperation is often used to improve the overall cycle efficiency of gas turbines. However, generally in small- scale gas turbines, it has a negative effect on turbine inlet temperature, pressure ratio and pressure drops, and thus decreases the overall cycle efficiency. In this paper, a thermodynamic model is performed to evaluate recovered heat as a function of heat exchanger effecti...

Co3W2Si intermetallic compound was synthesized by mechanical alloying (MA) of W, Co and Si elemental powder mixtures. The phase composition of the milled products was evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Morphological evolutions were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that high energy ball milling performed in the present work led to the format...

the third order term in the density functional is required for study of an inhomogeneous fluid. this term can be chosen such that, the thermodynamic potential gives the correct bulk pressure. the density porofile of a hard sphere fluid near hard wall which is an inhomogeneous fluid is obtained and it is shown that, if the third order term is ignored, although an exact bulk direct correlation fu...

in this study some thermodynamic parameters including freezing point, boiling point and the vapor pressure of urmia lake salt water were investigated as some important environmentally monitored physicochemical properties of urmia lake. in this regard salt concentration is chiefly responsible for the modification of the thermodynamic properties of urmia lake water which affects its overall envir...

Ewald summation and physically equivalent methods such as particle-mesh Ewald, kubic-harmonic expansions, or Lekner sums are commonly used to calculate long-range electrostatic interactions in computer simulations of polar and charged substances. The calculation of pressures in such systems is investigated. We find that the virial and thermodynamic pressures differ because of the explicit volum...

The aim of thermodynamic integration is to compute the difference in a thermodynamic property (usually the free energy) of the system between some reference state and the state of interest. To measure the free energy change from initial to final state, thermodynamic parameters characterizing the system are changed infinitely slowly so that at each stage along the path the system is in equilibri...
