Applied Thermodynamics for Meteorologists

Applied Thermodynamics: Grain Boundary Segregation

Chemical composition of interfaces—free surfaces and grain boundaries—is generally described by the Langmuir–McLean segregation isotherm controlled by Gibbs energy of segregation. Various components of the Gibbs energy of segregation, the standard and the excess ones as well as other thermodynamic state functions—enthalpy, entropy and volume—of interfacial segregation are derived and their phys...

Thermodynamics of ferrofluids in applied magnetic fields.

The thermodynamic properties of ferrofluids in applied magnetic fields are examined using theory and computer simulation. The dipolar hard sphere model is used. The second and third virial coefficients (B(2) and B(3)) are evaluated as functions of the dipolar coupling constant λ, and the Langevin parameter α. The formula for B(3) for a system in an applied field is different from that in the ze...

Thermodynamics Simulations Applied to Gas-Solid Materials Fabrication Processes

Thermodynamics for Systems Biology

This paper aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to thermodynamics designed specifically for the needs of the systems biologist. It departs from modern treatments in paying attention to the macroscopic aspects of the subjects rather than focusing purely on the statistical character of the facts. It also makes a real effort to communicate certain lesser known aspects of the subject that h...

Thermodynamics for Fractal Statistics

We consider for an anyon gas its thermodynamic properties taking into account the fractal statistics obtained by us recently. This approach describes the anyonic excitations in terms of equivalence classes labeled by fractal parameter or Hausdorff dimension h. An exact equation of state is obtained in the high-temperature and low-temperature limits, for gases with a constant density of states. ...
