The formal consideration of the concept of interaction in thermodynamic analysis makes it possible to deduce, in the broadest terms, new results related to the coevolution of interacting systems, irrespective of their distance from thermodynamic equilibrium. In this paper I prove the existence of privileged coevolution trajectories characterized by the minimum joint production of internal entro...

we assume that every act of absorption from lower level A to upper level B is followed by an act of emission from B to A. In other words, the number of atoms in state B is defined by the number in A, and by the transition probability A---B. This is in contradiction to the assumption of thermodynamic equilibrium. Since in thermodynamic equilibrium the number of atoms in any state is fixed, it se...

The thermodynamic of the known and very effective catalytic system, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and methyltrioxorhenium (MTO) is studied in different solvents using UV-Visible spectroscopic method. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔG, ΔH and ΔS) for two equilibrium reactions, MTO + H2O2 ⇌ A + H2O and A + H2O2 ⇌ B.H2O (A, [MeRe(O)2(O2)]; B.H2O, [MeRe(OH2)(O)(O2)2]), are determined. The obtained free e...

Vapor-liquid equilibrium relationships are important properties for practical use, such as in the design and operation of distillation equipment. In general, vapor-liquid equilibrium relations are determined experimentally, and it is a custom to test the thermodynamic consistency of the equilibrium data. Investigators1^4-15'17'19~22-24) have proposed various methods for testing thermodynamic co...

Conditions for thermodynamic equilibrium of liquid drops on solid substrates are presented. It is shown that if surface force (disjoining/conjoining Derjaguin pressure) action in a vicinity of the three-phase contact line is taken into account the condition of thermodynamic equilibrium is duly satisfied. Then the thermodynamic expressions for equilibrium contact angles of drops on solid substra...

Thermodynamic theory of phase equilibrium is the main base for the development of the methods of fluid mixtures separation. Thermodynamic approach has a lot of advantages in the practical application when conditions of separation processes are close to the equilibrium. For nonequilibrium processes these advantages fail and one should use another methods including empirical relationships and mod...

A communication theory for a transmitter broadcasting to many receivers is presented. In this case energetic considerations cannot be neglected as in Shannon theory. It is shown that, when energy is assigned to the information bit, information theory complies with classical thermodynamic and is part of it. To provide a thermodynamic theory of communication it is necessary to define equilibrium ...

solubility of hydrocarbons in water is important due to ecological concerns and new restrictions on the existence of organic pollutants in water streams. also, the creation of a thermodynamic model has required an advanced study of the phase equilibrium between water (as a basis for the widest spread muds and amines) and gas hydrocarbon phases in wide temperature and pressure ranges. therefore,...

In a classic paper, Morduchow and Libby use an analytic solution for the profile of a Navier–Stokes shock to show that the equilibrium thermodynamic entropy has a maximum inside the shock. There is no general nonequilibrium thermodynamic formulation of entropy; the extension of equilibrium theory to nonequililbrium processes is usually made through the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibr...
