Significant Difference

A theoretical description of the effect of changed composition of mixed solvents on processes in solutions has been suggested on the basis of the proportionality between the Gibbs energy change of the process and that of the solvent due to the transition from pure components to the mixture. The additional Gibbs energy has been expressed by means of the so-called classical functions by Margules, van Laar-Wohl, and van Laar-Null. The application to 115 various processes (pK, IR, UV-VIS, NMR, log k, and others) has confirmed that the theoretical presumptions are justified, the most suitable being Margules' 4th order model which shows a statistically significant difference from the models of lower orders.

Free Energy Analysis

This paper presents a transformation kinetics model of NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) wires based on electrical resistivity (ER) derivative study under the assumption that the derivative of electrical resistivity with respect to temperature is in linear relationship with the derivative of free energy change with respect to temperature. Free energy change and electrical resistivity properties of SMA are analyzed based on differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experiments during phase transformation. The simulated evolution of electrical resistivity during thermomechanical transformation is presented using the proposed model.

Summary To understand the swelling phenomenon of wood in liquids,the saturated amount of adsorption of liquids onto wood and the standard free energy changes of the adsorption were determined. The saturated amount of adsorption obtained by regression for several liquids decreased with increasing molecular size of the solvents. The mechanism of wood swelling is discussed systematically taking all the liquids examined in previous experiments into account. Since methanol molecules require more energy for release from cohesive interactions within bulk liquids in the adsorption onto pre-swollen wood,the values of free energy change of adsorption for methanol were lower than the values for acetone,although the relative swelling with methanol was higher. These results suggest that although the cohesive interaction within the bulk liquids reduces adsorptivity,the phenomenon of wood swelling is influenced not only by monolayer adsorption but also by multilayer adsorption. Therefore,the cohesive interaction within the bulk liquids reduces adsorptivity but enhances the condensation which strongly influences the swelling of wood.
