The compressibility equation of state for a multicomponent fluid of particles interacting via an infinitely narrow and deep potential, is considered within the mean spherical approximation (MSA). It is shown that for a class of models leading to a particular form of the Baxter functions qij(r) containing density-independent stickiness coefficient, the compressibility EOS does not exist, unlike ...

Peats are geotechnically problematic soil due to their high compressibility and low shear strength. Cement is widely used for the stabilization of peat by deep mixing method (DMM). This paper presents the results of the model study of compressibility property of peats stabilized with cement columns formed by DMM. The results of consolidation test, scanning electron micrographs (SEM) and energy ...

compressibility factor and viscosity of natural gasses are of great importance in petroleum and chemical engineering. to calculate the natural gas properties in the pipelines, storage systems and reservoirs, the exact values of gas compressibility factor and viscosity are required. a new method that allows accurate determination of compressibility factor and gas viscosity for all types of: swee...

based on the carnahan and starling hard sphere equation of compressibility, an equation of state has been derived. conditions that must be met by all equations of state are applied in order to obtain attractive term or non - ideal compressibility term of the equation. second virial coefficient and acentric factor arc used in the derivation of the equation of state. in this equation, compressibi...

We perform combined resistivity and compressibility studies of two-dimensional hole and electron systems which show the apparent metal-insulator transition--a crossover in the sign of deltaR/deltaT with changing density. No thermodynamic anomalies have been detected in the crossover region. Instead, despite a tenfold difference in r(s), the compressibility of both electrons and holes is well de...

The thermodynamics of polymeric networks subject to the action of a solvent is reviewed. Expressions for the osmotic compressibility and elastic moduli (bulk and shear) of the swollen network are derived in relation to the molecular characterjstiics of the system. The dependence of the osmotic compressibility on the equilibrium degree of swelling and the solvent quality is investigated. A stron...

Experiments with cold atoms trapped in optical lattices offer the potential to realize a variety of novel phases but suffer from severe spatial inhomogeneity that can obscure signatures of new phases of matter and phase boundaries. We use a high temperature series expansion to show that compressibility in the core of a trapped Fermi-Hubbard system is related to measurements of changes in double...

Crystal structure and compressibility of potassium azide was investigated by in-situ synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell at room temperature up to 37.7 GPa. In the bodycentered tetragonal (bct) phase, an anisotropic compressibility was observed with greater compressibility in the direction perpendicular to the plane containing N3 ions than directions within that plane. ...

When a fluid is confined to a nanopore, its thermodynamic properties differ from the properties of a bulk fluid, so measuring such properties of the confined fluid can provide information about the pore sizes. Here, we report a simple relation between the pore size and isothermal compressibility of argon confined in such pores. Compressibility is calculated from the fluctuations of the number o...
