Based on the previous article 'Cellular Thermodynamics' (2004) by Joe Wolfe Article contents • Introduction • Equilibrium • Steady state • Heat, light, photons and 'useful energy' • Macroscopic and microscopic views • Distribution of molecules and energy: low energy vs. high entropy • Reaction rates and equilibria • Enthalpy • Gibbs free energy • Other equilibria • The chemical potential • Surf...

The Gibbs free energy of mixing dissipated when fresh river water flows into the sea can be harnessed for sustainable power generation. Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) is one of the methods proposed to generate power from natural salinity gradients. In this study, we carry out a thermodynamic and energy efficiency analysis of PRO work extraction. First, we present a reversible thermodynamic mod...

A Study was made on the interaction between histon H1 and sodium n-dodecyl sulphate (SDS) in the presence of sodium arsenate inside a phosphate buffer of pH 6.4, using spectroscopy and equilibrium dialysis at 27 °C. The binding data has been used to obtain the gibbs free energy in terms of a theoretical model based on the Wyman binding potential. The binding data hs been analysed...

Efficient simulation methods are presented for determining the standard Gibbs free energy changes for the reactions, M + Mn-1 T Mn (R1), involved in the formation of atomic clusters and nanoparticles (also called particles) in the vapor phase. The standard Gibbs free energy of formation (∆fG°) of a particle is obtained from these Gibbs free energy changes (∆G°) by a recursion relationship using...

Emissions from fossil fuel combustion pose a serious threat to public health and =pose the need for animproved monitoring of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PARS), a major class of persistent organicpollutants. For this purpose the present study reports an investigation of the electronic structure of Pyrene byuse of different chemical models We also made a comparison between different chemica...

In this study Bis(1,4-dinitro toprop-2-yl) Nitramine, BNA, was attached to boron nitride nano- cages (B12N12). , thermodynamic parameters of BNA with B12N12 have been computed using one of the methods of density functional theory (B3LYP) In the temperature variety 300 to 400 K each 10 degree one times, were calculated. So these materials were geometrically optimized. After that thermodynamic pa...

The doping reaction of truncated boron nitride and carbon nanotubes with aluminium atom wastheoretically investigated. The AM1, PM3, and PM6 semiempirical methods have been used toevaluate the thermochemistry of doping reactions of single walled boron nitride nanotubes andcarbon nanotubes. The enthalpy changes, Gibbs free energy changes, and entropy changes of studieddoping reactions were evalu...
