A numerical procedure has successfully predicted accurate values of thermodynamic properties in seven cubic equations of state (EOS) in predicting thermodynamic properties of nine ozone-safe refrigerants both in super and sub-critical regions. Refrigerants include R22, R32, R123, R124, R125, R134a, R141b, R143, and R152a and equations of state, considered here, are Ihm-Song-Mason (ISM), Peng-Robinson (PR) [2], Redlich-Kwong (RK), Soave-Redlikh-Kwong (SRK), Modified Redlickh-Kwong (MRK), Nasrifar-Moshfeghian (NM), and TCC were shown in this paper. In general, the results are in favor of the preference of TCC and PR EOS over other remaining EOS’s in predicting gas densities of all aforementioned refrigerants in both super and sub critical regions. Typically, PR and SRK are in good agreement with those obtained from recent correlations and speed of sound measurements. Therefore, these two EOS stand over other EOS both in sub and super critical regions. All EOS follow two-parameter principle of corresponding states at T/Tc higher than 8 and lower than 1 except NM EOS. In the temperature range 1<T/Tc<8, PR and SRK still follow above mentioned principle. The same trend has been observed for other refrigerants.

A numerical procedure for deriving the thermodynamic properties (Z, cv, and cp) of the vapor phase in the subcritical temperature range from the speed of sound is presented. The set of differential equations connecting these properties with the speed of sound is solved as the initial-value problem in T-ϕ domain (ϕ=ρ/ρsat). The initial values of Z and ∂Z/∂Tρ are specified along the isotherm T0 with the highest temperature, at a several values of ϕ [0.1, 1.0]. The values of Z are generated by the reference equation of state, while the values of ∂Z/∂Tρ are derived from the speed of sound, by solving another set of differential equations in T-ρ domain in the transcritical temperature range. This set of equations is solved as the initial-boundary-value problem. The initial values of Z and cv are specified along the isochore in the limit of the ideal gas, at several isotherms distributed according to the Chebyshev points of the second kind. The boundary values of Z are specified along the same isotherm T0 and along another isotherm with a higher temperature, at several values of ρ. The procedure is tested on Ar, N2, CH4, and CO2, with the mean AADs for Z, cv, and cp at 0.0003%, 0.0046%, and 0.0061%, respectively (0.0007%, 0.0130%, and 0.0189% along the saturation line).

The aim of this paper is to provide a simple and reliable analytical expression for the thermodynamic properties calculated in terms of the Debye model using the binomial coefficient, and examine specific heat capacity of CdTe in the 300–1400 K temperature range. The obtained results have been compared with the corresponding experimental and theoretical results. The calculated results are in good agreement with the other results over the entire temperature range.

AbstractThe homogeneous density of the liquid phase is experimentally investigated for methyl diethanolamine. Data are obtained along five isotherms in a temperature range between 300 K and 360 K for pressures up to 95 MPa. Two different apparatuses are used to measure the speed of sound for the temperatures between 322 K and 450 K with a maximum pressure of 95 MPa. These measurements and literature data are used to develop a fundamental equation of state for methyl diethanolamine. The model is formulated in terms of the Helmholtz energy and allows for the calculation of all thermodynamic properties in gaseous, liquid, supercritical, and saturation states. The experimental data are represented within their uncertainties. The physical and extrapolation behavior is validated qualitatively to ensure reasonable calculations outside of the range of validity. Based on the experimental datasets, the equation of state is valid for temperatures from 250 K to 750 K and pressures up to 100 MPa.

The simple chemistry and structure of quartz together with its abundance in nature and its piezoelectric properties make convenient its employment for several applications, from engineering to Earth sciences. For these purposes, the quartz equations of state, thermoelastic and thermodynamic properties have been studied since decades. Alpha quartz is stable up to 2.5 GPa at room temperature where it converts to coesite, and at ambient pressure up to 847 K where it transforms to the beta phase. In particular, the displacive phase transition at 847 K at ambient pressure is driven by intrinsic anharmonicity effects (soft-mode phase transition) and its precise mechanism is difficult to be investigated experimentally. Therefore, we studied these anharmonic effects by means of ab initio calculations in the framework of the statistical thermodynamics approach. We determined the principal thermodynamic quantities accounting for the intrinsic anharmonicity and compared them against experimental data. Our results up to 700 K show a very good agreement with experiments. The same procedures and algorithms illustrated here can also be applied to determine the thermodynamic properties of other crystalline phases possibly affected by intrinsic anharmonic effects, that could partially invalidate the standard quasi-harmonic approach.

The paper presents a generalized mathematical model and numerical investigation of the problem of acoustic scattering from a single sound-permeable sphere during the passage of two types of waves - spherical from a monopole radiation source and a plane one. In solving the Helmholtz equation, a numerical technique based on the fast method of multipoles is used, which allows achieving high accuracy of the results obtained at the lowest cost of computer time. The calculations are compared with known experimental data and a good agreement is obtained. The formulas for calculating the main characteristic of the scattering field (the total scattering cross section) for a sound-permeable sphere are generalized. The effect on this characteristic of the physical parameters of media outside and inside the sphere, such as the density and speed of sound, is shown. A numerical parametric analysis of the pressure distribution around a single sound-permeable sphere for different values of the wave radius, density, and speed of sound of the outer and inner medium of the sphere is carried out. The obtained results will later be used for test verification calculations for the numerical solution of the generalized problem of acoustic scattering of a set of sound-permeable spheres (coaxial or arbitrarily located in space).

A simple model has been developed to estimate the sensible thermodynamic properties such as Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, heat capacity, and entropy of hydrocarbons over a wide range of temperatures with special attention to the branched molecules. The model is based on statistical thermodynamic expressions incorporating translational, rotational and vibrational motions of the atoms. A method to determine the number of degrees of freedom for different motion modes (bending and torsion) has been established. Branched rotational groups, such as CH3 and OH, have been considered. A modification of the characteristic temperatures for different motion mode has been made which improves the agreement with the exact values for simple cases. The properties of branched alkanes up to 2,3,4,-trimthylpentane have been calculated and the results are in good agreement with the experimental data. A relatively small number of parameters are needed in this model to estimate the sensible thermodynamic properties of a wide range of species. The model may also be used to estimate the properties of molecules and their isomers, which have not been measured, and is simple enough to be easily programmed as a subroutine for on-line kinetic calculations.

The all-electron full-potential linearized muffin-tin orbital method, by means of quasi-harmonic Debye model, is applied to investigate the elastic constant and thermodynamic properties of body-centered-cubic tantalum (bcc Ta). The calculated elastic constants of bcc Ta at 0 K is consistent with the previous experimental and theoretical results. Our calculations give the correct trends for the pressure dependence of elastic constants. By using the convenient quasi-harmonic Debye model, we refined the thermal equations of state. The thermal expansivity and some other thermal properties agree well with the previous experimental and theoretical results.
