Abstract A new formulation of the thermodynamic field theory (TFT) is presented. In this new version, one of the basic restriction in the old theory, namely a closed-form solution for the thermodynamic field strength, has been removed. In addition, the general covariance principle is replaced by Prigogine’s thermodynamic covariance principle (TCP). The introduction of TCP required the applicati...

The thermodynamic descriptions of the perovskite phase SrZrO3 and the TbBr3-KBr molten salt system were carried out using the available experimental information. Special attention was paid to the structural behavior of SrZrO3 and the decomposition of K3TbBr6 at low temperature, respectively, to illustrate how to select an appropriate thermodynamic model based on crystal structure and chemistry ...

The thermodynamic interaction at thermodynamic equilibrium in the free fermion gas is alternatively described by the coupling of particles with a scalar thermodynamic field which features a self-interaction. The gauge fields in SU c (3) symmetry are investigated with thermodynamic interactions. Six off-diagonal gluons acquire effective masses through the decolorization of thermodynamic fields u...

The thermodynamic properties of fluids can be predicted using the global equations of state. Among these thermodynamic properties of fluids, we choose the densities of the liquid and vapor phases. This paper considers the application of the crossover model to the vapor-liquid rectilinear diameter of sulfurhexafluoride. We also present a comparison of the crossover model equation with ...

Original scientific paper The paper presents the possibility of electricity generation at the pressure reduction stations (PRS) in the conventional system of natural gas transmission and distribution. The main deficiency of the conventional system is its thermodynamic irreversibility, i.e. the loss of potential work that could be generated while reducing the gas pressure. Within the first part ...

Abstract: The evaluation of the thermodynamic performance of the mutual transformation of different kinds of exergy linked to the intensive thermodynamic parameters of the flow inside the ejector of a refrigeration system is undertaken. Two thermodynamic metrics, exergy produced and exergy consumed, are introduced to assess these transformations. Their calculation is based on the evaluation of ...

We examine the thermodynamic limit of fluids of hard core particles that are polydisperse in size and shape. In addition, particles may interact magnetically. Free energy of such systems is a random variable because it depends on the choice of particles. We prove that the thermodynamic limit exists with probability 1, and is independent of the choice of particles. Our proof applies to polydispe...

solid solutions of ag-cu were prepared via ball milling process, for about 5-30 h. the cu-20at%ag and cu-3.64at%ag composition were investigated by x-ray diffraction technique. it was realized that the solid solubility level could be increased by increasing the initial solute content in the mixture. in addition, shifts in peak positions of silver and copper were observed with milling time. the ...

Corn cob as a low cost adsorbent was used in the present work for the removal of toxic heavy metal Co2+ from aqueous solutions. Bath experiments were used to determine the best adsorption conditions. The equilibrium adsorption level was determined as a function of solution pH, temperature (T), contact time (tc), initial adsorbate concentration, and adsorbent dosage. Effective removal of metal i...
