چکیده
We present an application of Wertheim's Thermodynamic Perturbation Theory (TPT1) to a simple coarse grained model made of flexibly bonded Lennard-Jones monomers. We use both the Reference Hyper-Netted-Chain (RHNC) and Mean Spherical approximation (MSA) integral equation theories to describe the properties of the reference fluid. The equation of state, the density dependence of the excess chemical potential, and the critical points of the liquid–vapor transition are compared with simulation results and good agreement is found. The RHNC version is somewhat more accurate, while the MSA version has the advantage of being almost analytic. We analyze the scaling behavior of the critical point of chain fluids according to TPT1 and find it to reproduce the mean field exponents: The critical monomer density is predicted to vanish as n −1/2 upon increasing the chain length n while the critical temperature is predicted to reach an asymptotic finite temperature that is attained as n −1/2. The predicted asymptotic finite critical temperature obtained from the RHNC and MSA versions of TPT1 is found to be in good agreement with the Θ point of our polymer model as obtained from the 1 temperature dependence of the single chain conformations.

متن کاملDynamic recrystallization kinetics of AISI 403 stainless steel using hot compression test
In this work dynamic recrystallization behavior of AISI 403 martensitic stainless steel was studied using hot compression tests over temperature range of 900 C -1200 C and strain rate range of 0.001 s-1 - 1 s-1. The obtained flow curves showed that the hot compression behavior of the alloy is controlled by dynamic recrystallization. The flow stress and strain corresponding to the critical, pe...

A common method to study the dynamic behavior of macroeconomic variables is using linear time series models; however, they are unable to explain nonlinear behavior of the series. Given the dependency between stock market and derivatives, the behavior of the underlying asset price can be modeled using Markov switching process properties and the economic regime significance. In this paper, a two-...
