pinch technology is one of the best methods for designing a multi stream heat exchanger(mshe) through a network; current pinch-based methods, however, lead to a larger and more complicateddesign problems. the major drawback of the current methods is they result in designs having more individual mshe sections than essential, correspond to the enthalpy intervals on temperature vs. enthalpy diagra...

the interaction between isatin-β-thiosemicarbazone (ibt) and calf thymus dna (ct-dna) was investigated in physiological buffer (ph 7.4) using neutral red (nr) dye as a spectral probe by uv–vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, as well as viscosity measurements. the ibt is stabilized by intercalation in the dna ( k [ibt –dna] =1.03×105 m−1), and displaces the nr dye from the nr–dna comple...

The p K(a) values of 6-fluoro-4,8-diazadodecane-1,12-diamine (6-fluorospermine) (1), 6,6-difluoro-4,8-diazadodecane-1,12-diamine (6,6-difluorospermine) (2), 6-fluoro-4-azaoctane-1,8-diamine (6-fluorospermidine) (3) and 6,6-difluoro-4-azaoctane-1,8-diamine (6,6-difluorospermidine) (4) in D(2)O solution have been determined at 40 degrees C from (13)C NMR chemical shifts data using the new compute...

The enthalpy-porosity technique is commonly used for modeling phase change problems with natural convection. In most applications however, this technique is restricted to equal thermophysical properties of solid and liquid phases. In this paper, an enhanced formulation based on the enthalpy-porosity method is proposed where the different thermophysical properties between the two phases can be e...

The heat capacity of a Ni36Nb24Zr40 glassy alloy was measured by adiabatic calorimetry from 13 to 300K. The smoothed values of molar heat capacity were calculated from the data using a least-squares method. The standard enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs energy were calculated from the smoothed heat capacity values. Assuming Hð0Þ 1⁄4 0 and Sð0Þ 1⁄4 0 at 0K, the heat capacity, enthalpy, entropy, and G...

Oxy-fuel combustion is recognized one of the most promising available technologies that zero emission accomplishment may be in the offing. With coal burned under the pressure of 6MPa and oxygenenriched conditions, the high temperature and high pressure gaseous combustion product is composed of 95% CO2 and water-vapor, with the rest of O2, N2 and so on. However, once lauded as classic approach o...

A direct calorimetric measurement of the overall enthalpy change associated with self-assembly of organic monolayers at the liquid-solid interface is for most systems of interest practically impossible. In previous work we proposed an adapted Born-Haber cycle for an indirect assessment of the overall enthalpy change by using terephthalic acid monolayers at the nonanoic acid-graphite interface a...

Unpoisoned sartorius muscles of Rana temporaria were stimulated tetanically in isometric contractions lasting up to 20 s at 0 degrees C. The observed enthalpy (heat + work) production and the chemical changes in these contractions were measured, and a comparison was made between the observed enthalpy and the enthalpy that could be explained by the chemical changes. Like earlier workers, we foun...
