The prediction of certain thermodynamic properties of pure substances and mixtures with calculation methods is a frequent task during the process design in chemical engineering. Group contribution models divide the molecules into functional groups and if the model parameters for theses groups are known, predictions of compounds that comprise these groups are possible. The model parameters have ...

This work reports on the determination of the acoustic nonlinearity parameter, B/A, from measured sound speed data, in Fluorinert FC-43 at temperatures up to 381 K and pressures up to 13.8 MPa using the thermodynamic method. Sound speed was measured using Swept Frequency Acoustic Interferometry at 11 pressures between ambient and 13.8 MPa along 6 isotherms between ambient and 381 K. Second-orde...

The action of four-dimensional Horndeski gravity coupled to Born-Infeld electromagnetic fields is given via the Kaluza-Klein process. Dyonic black hole solution theory constructed. metric devoid singularity at origin independent parameter selections, this property different from one Einstein-Born-Infeld holes. Thermodynamics studied, thermodynamic quantities are calculated and first law checked...

We use nonrelativistic supersymmetry, mainly Darboux transformations of the general (one-parameter) type, for the quantum oscillator thermodynamic actions. Interesting Darboux generalizations of the fundamental Planck and pure vacuum cases are discussed in some detail with relevant plots. It is shown that the one-parameter Darboux-transformed Thermodynamics refers to superpositions of boson and...

Thermoviscoelastic linear-response functions are calculated from the master equation describing viscous liquid inherent dynamics. From the imaginary parts of the frequency-dependent isobaric specific heat, isothermal compressibility, and isobaric thermal expansion coefficient, we define a "linear dynamic Prigogine-Defay ratio" LambdaTp(omega) with the property that if LambdaTp(omega)=1 at one f...

Low angular momentum accretion flows can have standing and oscillating shock waves. We study the region of the parameter space in which multiple sonic points occur in viscous flows in presence of various cooling effects such as bremsstrahlung and Comptonization. We also quantify the parameter space in which shocks are steady or oscillating. We find that cooling induces effects opposite to heati...

A relativistic model of a heat conducting collapsing star, which includes thermal pre-relaxation processes, is presented. Particular attention is paid to the influence of a given parameter defined in terms of thermodynamic variables, on the outcome of evolution. Evaluation of the system when passing through a critical value of the aforesaid parameter, does not yield evidence of anomalous behavi...

Using the exactly solvable Gross-Neveu model as theoretical laboratory, we analyse in detail the relationship between a relativistic quantum field theory at real and imaginary chemical potential. We find that one can retrieve the full information about the phase diagram of the theory from an imaginary chemical potential calculation. The prerequisite is to evaluate and analytically continue the ...

We investigate the critical scaling behavior of finite systems in the canonical ensemble. The essential difference with the grand canonical ensemble. i.e., the constraint on the number of particles, is already known to lead to the Fisher renormalization phenomenon that modifies the thermal critical singularities. We show that, in observables that are not Fisher renormalized, it also leads to a ...

Thermodynamic analysis of a steady state flow and heat transfer of an Oldroyd 8-constant fluid with effect of heat source, velocity slip and buoyancy force under tranverse a magnetic field is is carried out in this paper. The model for momentum and energy balance is tackled numerically using Method of Weighted Residual (MWR). Partition method is used to minimize the associated residuals. The re...
