ABSTRACTWe present a detailed study of the O2-LiCoO2 phase used as positive electrode in lithium batteries. This phase is a metastable form of LiCoO2 and is prepared by ionic exchange from P2-Na0.70CoO2. The O2-LiCoO2 system presents interesting fundamental problems as it exhibits several phase transformations upon lithium deintercalation that imply either CoO2 sheet gliding or lithium/vacancy ordering. Two unusual structures are observed: T#2 and O6. The T#2 phase was characterized by X-ray, neutron and electron diffraction, whereas the O6 phase was only characterized by XRD.In order to better understand the structures and the driving forces responsible for the phase transformations involved in lithium deintercalation, we combine our experimental study of this system with a theoretical approach. The voltage-composition curve at room temperature is calculated using Density Functional Theory combined with Monte Carlo simulations, and is qualitatively in good agreement with the experimental voltage curve over the complete lithium composition range. Pseudopotential and thermodynamic calculations both show that two tetrahedral sites have to be considered for Li in the T#2 structure. The calculated voltage curve thus exhibits a two-phase O2/T#2 region that indicates that this phase transformation is driven by the entropy maximization and not by a non-metal to metal transition. We also predict two ordered phases for Li1/4CoO2 (O2) and Li1/3CoO2 (O6) and show that the formation of the O6 phase is not related to Li staging or Co3+/Co4+ charge ordering.

The principles of nonequilibrium thermodynamics are discussed, using the concept of internal variables that describe deviations of a thermodynamic system from the equilibrium state. While considering the first law of thermodynamics, work of internal variables is taken into account. It is shown that the requirement that the thermodynamic system cannot fulfil any work via internal variables is equivalent to the conventional formulation of the second law of thermodynamics. These statements, in line with the axioms introducing internal variables can be considered as basic principles of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. While considering stationary nonequilibrium situations close to equilibrium, it is shown that known linear parities between thermodynamic forces and fluxes and also the production of entropy, as a sum of products of thermodynamic forces and fluxes, are consequences of fundamental principles of thermodynamics.

Phase transformations during the heating of amorphous Fe-Si-B alloys were investigated. The differential thermomagnetic analysis and X-ray method are used for the studies. The intervals of phase transformations are revealed, and the magnetic properties of phases are determined. The method of calculation of magnetic effects during the phase transformations, registered by differential technique is suggested.

Abstract A standard convention in moist thermodynamics, adopted by D. M. Romps and others, is to set the specific energy and entropy of dry air and liquid water to zero at the triple-point temperature and pressure. P. Marquet claims that this convention leads to physically incorrect results. To support this claim, Marquet presents numerical calculations of a lifted parcel. It is shown here that the claim is false and that the numerical calculations of Marquet are in error. In the context of a simple two-phase thermodynamic system, an analysis is presented here of the freedoms one has to choose additive constants in the definitions of energy and entropy. Many other misconceptions are corrected as well.

Abstract A phenomenological interpretation of the evolution of a steam/water system is proposed from a nonequilibrium mixture perspective. This type of thermodynamic behavior is structurally stable on the basis of catastrophe theory and therefore offers an unorthodox alternative approach to the simulation of geothermal reservoirs. Use of this approach in a one-dimensional (ID) finite-difference simulator yields results that can be compared with a traditional numerical scheme. Introduction All numerical simulators of geothermal reservoirs depend on an accurate representation of the thermodynamics of the steam/water system. This information is required to render tractable the system of balance equations derived from the physics of flow through porous media. While it is generally recognized that the porous media. While it is generally recognized that the two-phase system is not in thermodynamic equilibrium, equilibrium thermodynamics is universally employed in its description for numerical simulators (see Ref. 1 for a state-of-the-art review of these models). In this paper, we present an alternative view on nonequilibrium thermodynamics. A phenomenological investigation of the proposed approach has been reported by Nguyen at From this new perspective, we constrict a computational scheme that eliminates the difficulties often encountered in the two-phase region. Preliminary results of this work were reported by Preliminary results of this work were reported by Nguyen and Pinder. This study provides a description of a ID mathematical model of two-phase hydrothermal flow, an outline of the finite-difference procedure employed to approximate its solution. and a concise summary of the proposed nonequilibrium thermodynamics theory for the proposed nonequilibrium thermodynamics theory for the steam/water system.

Особенность состояния системы жидкость–твердое тело в метастабильном растворе вещества состоит в том, что она (система) претерпевает два фазовых превращения в вакуум-аппарате (ВА) – кристаллообразование и растворение, требующие экспериментального изучения и описания в силу их важности при совершенствовании технологии производства кристаллического сахара. Однако и теоретическое обоснование фазовых превращений в метастабильном растворе разработано недостаточно. В статье предпринята попытка количественно поставить и решить проблему учета возникающего при проведении обработки метастабильного сахарсодержащего раствора повышения температуры в результате конденсации молекул на центре концентрации при пересыщении в ВА. В качестве основы численного моделирования поставленной задачи использовали программные продукты информационной среды Mathcad. С использованием модели диффузионного массопереноса сахарозы в пересыщенном растворе к затравке был разработан алгоритм расчета зависимости массы сахарозы от времени проведения процесса кристаллизации. На примере сахарозы дана оценка влияния физического фактора – выделяющейся при кристаллообразовании теплоты на расчет теплового баланса и производительности ВА. The peculiarity of the state of the liquid-solid system in a metastable solution of a substance is that it (the system) undergoes two phase transformations in a vacuum apparatus (VA) – crystal formation and dissolution, requiring experimental study and description due to their importance in improving the technology of production of crystalline sugar. However the theoretical justification of phase transformations in a metastable solution has not been sufficiently developed. The article attempts to quantify and solve the problem of taking into account the temperature increase that occurs during the processing of a metastable sugar-containing solution as a result of condensation of molecules at the concentration center during supersaturation in VA. Software products of the Mathcad information environment were used as the basis for numerical modeling of the task. Using a model of diffusive mass transfer of sucrose in a supersaturated solution to the seed, an algorithm was developed for calculating the dependence of the sucrose mass on the time of the crystallization process. On the example of sucrose, an assessment of the influence of a physical factor – the heat released during crystallization on the calculation of the thermal balance and the productivity of the VA is given.
