A thermodynamic approach is presented to classify geothermal reservoir as vapor or liquid dominated. According to it, the vapor dominated reservoir has specific volume of fluid (i.e. combined vapor and liquid) greater than the critical volume of water whereas the liquid dominated reservoir has lesser specific volume. Enthalpy is not a conservative entity in a geothermal system. Apart from it, t...

A B S X R A C T Unpoisoned sartorius muscles of Rana temporaria were stimulated tetanically in isometric contractions lasting up to 20 s at 0~ The observed enthalpy (heat + work) production and the chemical changes in these contractions were measured, and a comparison was made between the observed enthalpy and the enthalpy that could be explained by the chemical changes. Like earlier workers, w...

It is shown that accurate values of the rates of enthalpy generation in the electrolysis of light and heavy water can be obtained from measurements in simple, single compartment Dewar type calorimeter cells. This precise evaluation of the rate of enthalpy generation relies on the nonlinear regression fitting of the “black-box” model of the calorimeter to an extensive set of temperature time mea...

Because water dissolves in silicate melts as at least two species, H O molecules and OH groups, the exsolution 2 Ž . evaporation enthalpy of the H O component from a silicate melt depends on species proportions, which in turn depends on 2 H O pressure. In this short communication, a formal analysis of the exsolution enthalpy of water from a silicate melt is 2 presented, taking into account of t...

Abstract Recently, one of the authors suggested calculating void fraction, an essential element in thermalhydraulics, working with the ‘thermodynamic’ quality instead of the usual ‘flow’ quality. However, the standard heat balance is currently stated as a function of the ‘flow’ quality. Therefore, we should search a new energy balance between the mixture enthalpy, based on ‘thermodynamic’ quali...

Starch and proteins are major components in the wheat endosperm that affect its end product quality. Between the two textural classes of wheat i.e. hard and soft, starch granules are loosely bound with the lipids and proteins in soft wheat due to higher expression of interfering grain softness proteins. It might have impact on starch granules properties. In this work for the first time the phys...

the armaticity of 5 methylcytosine tautomers in the gas phase has been studied and the chemical structures of related tautomers are investigated . the electronic energy, enthalpy and free energy of each tautomer are also estimated at the b3lyp/6-31 g* // b3lyp/6-31 g* and mp2 / 6-31 g* // mp2 / 6-31 g* levels

The liquid-phase enthalpy of mixing for Al–Tb alloys is measured for 3, 5, 8, 10, and 20 at% Tb at selected temperatures in the range from 1364 to 1439 K. Methods include isothermal solution calorimetry and isoperibolic electromagnetic levitation drop calorimetry. Mixing enthalpy is determined relative to the unmixed pure (Al and Tb) components. The required formation enthalpy for the Al3Tb pha...

The unfolding enthalpy of the pH 4 molten globule from sperm whale apomyoglobin has been measured by isothermal titration calorimetry, using titration to acid pH. The unfolding enthalpy is close to zero at 20 degrees C, in contrast both to the positive values expected for peptide helices and the negative values reported for holomyoglobin and native apomyoglobin. At 20 degrees C, the hydrophobic...
