Redlich and Kister have developed two methods for evaluating
thermodynamic consistency of vapor-liquid equilibrium data. These
same authors also developed a power series for classifying systems
according to the number of coefficients required to define the data.
Stockett found it was difficult to classify systems by this method.
Macan suggested...
The problems of freezing and melting present special
mathematical complexity and, except for the most elementary
one-dimensional cases, require a numerical solution.
However, these problems have a growing importance in
engineering problems because of their application to
metallurgical operations, food preservation, heating and
air conditioning, etc.
In the present work,...
Under light wind conditions, the alternation of daytime
heating and nighttime cooling creates a characteristic
response in the oceanic boundary layer known as the diurnal
cycle. The Mellor/Yamada Level II turbulence closure model is
used to analyze this response pattern.
The diurnal cycle has three phases. During morning and
early...
The expansion of a gas within a piston-cylinder arrangement is studied in order to obtain a better understanding of the heat transfer which occurs during this process. While the situation of heat transfer during the expansion of a gas has received considerable attention, the process is still not very well...
The stability analysis for a heated tube system is an
important safety feature of a nuclear power plant.
Although the system theory is well established for linear
systems described by ordinary differential equations, there
is still a shortage of theory dealing with a distributed
system, which is described by partial...
The research undertaken in this study deals with three topics related to the prediction of thermodynamic properties of electrolytes in aqueous solutions. In the first, Pitzer ion interaction parameters for 304 single electrolytes were evaluated from recently published osmotic coefficient data at 25°C by using multiple regression analysis to fit...
