While thinking of thermodynamic properties of solids, a wide variety of properties and phenomena come to mind. Perhaps the most notable are specific heat, phase transitions, thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, melting, and so on. The macroscopic thermodynamic properties [1–11] are determined by microscopic crystalline and electronic structure and atomic vibrations, and these are determined...

Proteins are important macromolecules that exhibit thermodynamic and kinetic properties that are highly tuned to facilitate biological function within limited ranges of environmental conditions. Despite having a wealth of understanding of the interactions that affect protein stability [Dill, 1990; Pace, et al. 2004], such as the hydrophobic effect, hydrogen bonding, packing, solvation and elect...

A previously developed cell theory model of liquid water was used to evaluate the excess thermodynamic properties of confined clusters of water molecules. The results are in good agreement with reference thermodynamic integration calculations, suggesting that the model is adequate to probe the thermodynamic properties of water at interfaces or in cavities. Next, the grid cell theory (GCT) metho...

Surfactant-dye interactions are very important in chemical and dyeing processes. The dyes interact strongly with surfactant and show new spectrophotometric properties, so the UV-vis absorption spectrophotometric method has been used to study this process and extract some thermodynamic parameters. In this work, the association equilibrium between ionic dyes and ionic surfactant were studied by a...

thermodynamic study on the interaction of β-cd with poly ethylene oxide and poly acrylic acid was performed by isothermal titration calorimetry at 298k. when β-cd is added to the interpolymer complex, competition is created between host-guest and hydrogen bond. enthalpy of interaction between the β-cd and interpolymer complex was calculated using the extended solvation theory. p=1 shows that wi...

Although widely used in bioassays, the spectrofluorimetric method described here uses the antenna effect as a tool to probe the thermodynamic parameters of ligands that sensitize lanthanide luminescence. The Eu(3+) coordination chemistry, solution thermodynamic stability, and photophysical properties of the spermine-based hydroxypyridonate octadentate chelator 3,4,3-LI(1,2-HOPO) are reported. T...

an analytical equation of state by song and mason is developed to calculate the pvt properties ofmercury. the equation of state is based on the statistical-mechanical perturbation theory of hard convexbodies and can be written as a fifth-order polynomial in the density. there exists three temperaturedependentparameters in the equation of state; the second virial coefficient, an effective molecu...

in this study, a generalized equation is presented to calculate vapor pressure of pure substances as a function of reduced temperature, critical pressure, and acentric factor. with the presented model, vapor pressures have been calculated and evaluated with nist data bank for 70 pure substances for about 14000 data points, and the overall average absolute percentage deviation has been only 0.78...
