Thermodynamic Quantities of Square-Well Gases at Isobaric Process
The thermodynamic functions for square-well gases evaluated till the third virial coefficient are investigated at an isobaric process. Some thermodynamic functions are analytically expressed as functions of intensive variables, temperature, and pressure. Some thermodynamic quantities for H2O are calculated numerically and drawn graphically. In critical states, the heat capacity, thermal expansi...
متن کاملProperties of the Lindemann Mechanism in Phase Space
We study the planar and scalar reductions of the nonlinear Lindemann mechanism of unimolecular decay. First, we establish that the origin, a degenerate critical point, is globally asymptotically stable. Second, we prove there is a unique scalar solution (the slow manifold) between the horizontal and vertical isoclines. Third, we determine the concavity of all scalar solutions in the nonnegative...
متن کاملPoles and zeros at infinity of linear time-varying systems
The notions of poles and zeros at infinity and their relations are extended to the case of linear continuous time-varying systems. This study is based on the notion of a “newborn system” which is, in a mathematical point of view, a graded module extension over the noncommutative ring of differential operators. It is proved to be a relevant generalization to the time-varying case of the equivale...
متن کاملMonodromy problem for the degenerate critical points
For the polynomial planar vector fields with a hyperbolic or nilpotent critical point at the origin, the monodromy problem has been solved, but for the strongly degenerate critical points this problem is still open. When the critical point is monodromic, the stability problem or the center- focus problem is an open problem too. In this paper we will consider the polynomial planar vector fields ...
متن کاملOn Poincaré’s Fourth and Fifth Examples of Limit Cycles at Infinity
Errors are found in example problems from Henri Poincaré’s paper “Mémoire sur les courbes définies par une équation différentielle.” Examples four and five from chapter seven and examples one, two, and three from chapter nine do not have the limit cycles at infinity predicted by Poincaré. Instead they have fixed points at every point at infinity. In order to understand the errors made by Poinca...
