prediction of available vapor pressure data in the case of compounds containing c-h-o led to derivations and recommendations of standard equations for this property. the accuracy of vapor pressure estimations is essential to use as a basis to calculate acentric factor, thermal and equilibrium properties. in this study, according to the previous work, an accurate equation to estimate vapor press...

This paper studies the time-consistent investment strategy for a defined contribution (DC) pension plan under the mean–variance criterion. Since the time horizon of a pension fund management problem is relatively long, two background risks are taken into account: the inflation risk and the salary risk. Meanwhile, there are a risk-free asset, a stock and an inflation-indexed bond available in th...

Le Chatelier's principle is used as a very simple way to predict the effect of a change in conditions on a chemical equilibrium. . However, several studies have reported the violation of this principle, still there is no reported simple mathematical equation to express the exact condition of violation in the gas phase reactions. In this article, we derived a simple equation for the violation of...

The binding of ligands by a receptor can be expressed in an equation derived by a thermodynamic stoichiometric approach in which the stoichiometric equilibrium constants are all positive and real. An alternative binding equation can be derived algebraically in which the equilibrium constants can have values that are complex numbers. Some consequences of this situation are explored, and numerica...

In this paper, we study the stability of n-dimensional linear fractional neutral differential equation with time delays. By using the Laplace transform, we introduce a characteristic equation for the above system with multiple time delays. We discover that if all roots of the characteristic equation have negative parts, then the equilibrium of the above linear system with fractional order is Ly...

an extended peng-robinson equation of state (epr-eos) is used to model the vapor-liquid equilibrium (vle) in systems containing (water + nacl + co2), (water + methanol + nacl + co2), (water + na2so4 + co2) and (water + nh4cl + co2). the binary and ternary interaction parameters between salt and solvent are adjusted to experimental mean solvent activity of salts (nacl and na2so4). for the system...

in this paper asymmetric price transmission mechanism and nonlinear adjustment between producer and retail prices of milk were examined in zanjan province of iran. for this purpose, a two-regime threshold vector error correction model (tvecm) and a sup-lm test developed by hansen and seo (2002) were employed for checking presence of a threshold effect. application of unit root tests indicated t...

Upon the addition of protons to an aqueous solution containing multiple buffers, the final H+ concentration ([H+]) at equilibrium is determined by the partitioning of added H+ among the various buffer components. In the analysis of acid-base chemistry, the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation and the Stewart strong ion formulation can only describe (rather than predict) the equilibrium pH following a...

A model of directed search with a finite number of buyers and sellers is considered, where sellers compete in direct mechanisms. Buyer heterogeneity and Nash equilibrium results in perfect sorting. The restriction to complementary inputs, that the match value function Q is supermodular, in addition coordinates the sellers’ strategies. In that case, equilibrium implements positive assortative ma...
