From certain considerations based on Einstein's theory of light quanta, I have recently deduced' an equation for the entropy of radiation, as a function of energy density and frequency, which is identical with the one obtained by Planck. From this expression it would seem possible to proceed immediately to Planck's equation for the distribution of radiant energy, by using a method which has hit...

the interaction of fe2+ ion with pyrazole was theoretically studied by gussian 03, software at hf/(lanl2dz+6-31g) and hf/ (lanl2dz+6-31g (d)) levels in gas phase and solution. in this study acompartion between optimized structures of pyrazole molecule in aspect of thermodynamicparameters such as enthalpy (h°), gibbs free energy (g°) and entropy (s°) in presence of metallic ion(fe2+), was perfor...

Calcined coke is an important material for making carbon anodes for smelting of alumina to aluminum. Calcining is an energy intensive industry and a significant amount of heat is wasted in the calcining process. Efficiently managing this energy resource is tied to the profit margin and survivability of a calcining plant. To help improve the energy efficiency of the calcining process, a 3-D comp...

In this study, the relationship among the concepts of entropy generation rate, entransy theory, and generalized thermal resistance to the optimal design of thermal systems is discussed. The equations of entropy and entransy rates are compared and their implications for optimization of conductive heat transfer are analyzed. The theoretical analyses show that based on entropy generation minimizat...

The combined effects of magnetic field, Navier slip and convective heating on the entropy generation in a flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid between two infinite horizontal parallel plates under a constant pressure gradient have been examined. Both the lower and upper plates of the channel are subjected to asymmetric convective heat exchange with the ambient fluid. T...

The effective fractal dimensions at the polynomial-space level and above can all be equivalently defined as the C-entropy rate where C is the class of languages corresponding to the level of effectivization. For example, pspace-dimension is equivalent to the PSPACE-entropy rate. At lower levels of complexity the equivalence proofs break down. In the polynomialtime case, the P-entropy rate is a ...

The relation of the shear viscosity coefficient to the recently introduced transport rate is derived within relativistic kinetic theory. We calculate the shear viscosity over entropy ratio eta/s for a gluon gas, which involves elastic gg-->gg perturbative QCD (PQCD) scatterings as well as inelastic gg<-->ggg PQCD bremsstrahlung. For alpha_{s}=0.3 we find eta/s=0.13 and for alpha_{s}=0.6, eta/s=...

The regional evaluation of monitoring stations for water resources can be of great importance due to its role in finding appropriate locations for stations, the maximum gathering of useful information and preventing the accumulation of unnecessary information and ultimately reducing the cost of data collection. Based on the theory of discrete entropy, this study analyzes the density of rain gag...

The entropy of hot nuclear Systems is deduced from the mass distribution of fragments emitted from high energy protonand nucleus-induced reactions via a quantum statistical model. It is found that the entropy per baryon, S / A , of intermediate rapidity ("participant") fragments is higher than the entropy of target rapidity ("spectator") fragments. The spectator fragments exhibit S / A values o...
