Thermodynamic properties of the ionized gas 3He
In this article, we have calculated some thermodynamic properties for a system consisting of singy ionized 3He atoms and their corresponding removed electrons by employing the second quantization method at finite temperature. To perform the calculations, we have considered the kinetic term, and Coulomb interaction between the particles in our Hamiltonian. The calculated properties are free ener...
متن کاملTemperature, pressure, and electrochemical constraints on protein speciation: Group additivity calculation of the standard molal thermodynamic properties of ionized unfolded proteins
Thermodynamic calculations can be used to quantify environmental constraints on the speciation of proteins, such as the pH and temperature dependence of ionization state, and the relative chemical stabilities of proteins in different biogeochemical settings. These calculations depend in part on values of the standard molal Gibbs energies of proteins and their ionization reactions as a function ...
متن کاملFree-energy model for fluid helium at high density.
We present a semianalytical free-energy model aimed at characterizing the thermodynamic properties of dense fluid helium, from the low-density atomic phase to the high-density fully ionized regime. The model is based on a free-energy minimization method and includes various different contributions representative of the correlations between atomic and ionic species and electrons. This model allo...
متن کاملComputational Chemistry of Anthracene (PAH) Removal by SWNT Nano-filters: DFT
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (such as, anthracene, benzo[a]pyrene and so on) are non-polar, hydrophobic compounds, which are not ionized. They are only slightly soluble in water. They are very dangerous compounds in the environment. The single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) is used for removal and conversion of anthracene to low-risk products. In this study, electron transfer between anthrac...

We study the thermodynamic properties of a partially ionized hydrogen plasma in strong magnetic fields, B ∼ 10 − 10 G, typical of neutron stars. The properties of the plasma depend significantly on the quantum-mechanical sizes and binding energies of the atoms, which are strongly modified by thermal motion across the field. We use new fitting formulas for the atomic binding energies and sizes, ...
