An Efficient Catalyst of CuPt/TiO2 for Photocatalytic Direct Dehydrogenation of Methanol to Methyl Formate at Ambient Temperature

To obtain high methanol conversion at high methyl formate (MF) selectivity by the thermal reaction of direct dehydrogenation of methanol is a challenging issue due to the thermodynamic restriction. Herein,...

THERMODYNAMIC RESTRICTION RULES FOR DROPLET MODELS

Statistical systems whose particles can coagulate, forming compact bound objects called droplets or clusters are considered. We analyze the methods of constructing effective thermodynamic potentials for such systems and of calculating their thermodynamic characteristics. The central point of our paper is the formulation of thermodynamic restriction rules which permit a correct definition of thermodynamic characteristics; not following these rules may lead to unphysical results. The application of the restriction rule is illustrated by a statistical model of quark–gluon clustering matter.
