The purposes of this paper are (a) to examine the effect of calorimeter time constant (τ) on heat rate data from a single enzyme injection into substrate in an isothermal titration calorimeter (ITC), (b) to provide information that can be used to predict the optimum experimental conditions for determining the rate constant (k2), Michaelis constant (KM), and enthalpy change of the reaction (ΔRH)...

The engine and its exhaust flow behaviors are investigated in a turbo-charged gasoline direct injection engine under simulated cold-fast-idle condition. The metrics of interest are the exhaust sensible and chemical enthalpy flows, and the exhaust temperature, all of which affect catalyst light off time. The exhaust sensible enthalpy flow is mainly a function of combustion phasing; the exhaust c...

Abstract The Gibbs energy Δ G kp ( τ , T ) of kink pair formation on screw dislocations in bcc Nb has been determined as a function shear stress at different temperatures ⩽ 100 K using an accelerated molecular dynamics method and bond-boost potential. From ), the dependence entropy enthalpy could be obtained standard thermodynamic relations. increases with increasing stress, following phenomeno...

an agricultural waste and eco-friendly biosorbent i.e. rice husk has been used as a cheap adsorbentfor the removal of methylene blue dye from aqueous solutions. the physical properties of the developedadsorbent were characterized using ftir. the study was realized using batch experiments. the effectsof contact time, ph, initial dye concentration, biosorbent dose and temperature were investigate...

Thermal and infrared spectroscopic analyzes were carried out in order to study the kind of interaction between the anatomical components of the bleached eucalyptus kraft pulp with offset inks. A Bauer-McNett fiber classifier was used in order to obtain the anatomical components of the pulp, separately. The determinations of the enthalpy of the processes occurring in the samples of inks and pulp...

A membrane-based enthalpy exchanger is a device used for heat and humidity recovery in ventilated buildings. The energy-saving potential of such dependent on the parameters responsible moisture recovery. trend toward composite membranes, which are custom produced, their can be adjusted given application; therefore, diffusion sorption characteristics membranes unknown. In order to obtain values ...

Mechanical loss spectra (two peaks) observed in ZrO, doped with Y,O, (2-10 mol%), are attributed to oxygen vacancy 0-yttrium (Y) associates (V-Y pairs and V-2Y agglomerates). Both peaks were analysed numerically by applying the coupling model. It has been shown that: i) the activation enthalpy H for both peaks increases with Y20, content, ii) the values of coupling parameter n are about 0.6 0.7...

The mixed micellization behaviour of amitriptyline hydrochloride (AMT) with ionic liquid (IL) 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium hydrochloride, [C8mim][Cl], have been investigated using electrical conductivity, at different temperatures. The non-ideal behaviour (i.e., synergistic interaction) of AMT-[C8mim][Cl] binary mixtures, explained by the deviations in critical micelle concentration (cmc) from i...
