The effect of three organic aromatic salts - Phenyltrimethylammonium (PhTMAB), benzyltrimethylammonium (BzTMAB) and benzyltrimethylammonium (BzTEAB) bromides - on the micellization of sodium dodecylsulfate has been investigated by conductometric method. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) values were found to decrease with increase in the concentration of the aromatic ammonium salts. Therm...

Because water dissolves in silicate melts as at least two species, H O molecules and OH groups, the exsolution 2 Ž . evaporation enthalpy of the H O component from a silicate melt depends on species proportions, which in turn depends on 2 H O pressure. In this short communication, a formal analysis of the exsolution enthalpy of water from a silicate melt is 2 presented, taking into account of t...

The standard enthalpy of formation of a compound is the energy associated with the reaction to form the compound from its component elements. The standard enthalpy of formation is a fundamental thermodynamic property that determines its phase stability, which can be coupled with other thermodynamic data to calculate phase diagrams. Calorimetry provides the only direct method by which the standa...

The solvation of alanine is investigated, with a focus on adding a sufficient number of discrete water molecules to determine the first solvation shell for both the nonionized (N) and zwitterionic (Z) forms to converge the enthalpy of solvation and the enthalpy difference for the two forms of alanine. Monte Carlo sampling was employed using the generalized effective fragment potential (EFP) met...

The basis of this study is the widespread existence of low enthalpy geothermal resources in Turkey. The usage of low enthalpy geothermal resources in balneology, district heating and green house heating has made Turkey one of the primary consumer of geothermal energy in the world. However, the utilization of low enthalpy geothermal resources in geothermal-solar hybrid systems for electricity ge...

This article is concerned with the formulation and numerical solution of equations for modelling multicomponent, two-phase, thermal fluid flow in porous media. The fluid model consists of individual chemical component (species) conservation equations, Darcy’s law for volumetric flow rates and an energy equation in terms of enthalpy. The model is closed with an equation of state and phase equili...

The kinetics and thermodynamics of berberine inclusion in cucurbit[7]uril was studied by stopped-flow method, fluorescence titrations, and isothermal calorimetry in neat water. The ~500-fold fluorescence intensity enhancement upon encapsulation was exploited to monitor the complex formation in real time at various temperatures. The increase in the fluorescence intensity could be fitted well by ...
