Changes in the standard transformed thermodynamic properties of enzyme-catalyzed reactions with ionic strength

The ionic strength has significant effects on the thermodynamic properties of ionic species and on the transformed thermodynamic properties of biochemical reactants at specified pH values. These effects are discussed for species, reactants, and enzyme-catalyzed reactions. This has led to three new thermodynamic properties: (z(j)(2) - NH(j)), (z(2) - N(H))(i), and Delta(r)(z((2)-N(H)), which are referred to as ionic strength coefficients. The first of these is a property of a species, the second is a property of a reactant, and the third is the property of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. The effects of ionic strength on standard thermodynamic properties of species, standard transformed thermodynamic properties of reactants, and standard transformed thermodynamic properties of enzyme-catalyzed reactions are proportional to these new thermodynamic properties.     

Thermodynamic properties of individual ions, calculated in terms of conception of real thermodynamic properties of individual ions in solutions

Real and chemical thermodynamic characteristics for several ions in mixtures of water with organic solvents of different classes are calculated on the basis of the proposed conception of real thermodynamic properties of individual ions in solutions. This conception is an improved and generalized version of the procedure for describing thermodynamic activity of individual ions in aqueous electrolyte solutions, which was successfully exploited for many years. The offered methodology enables one to determine thermodynamic characteristics of individual ions both in aqueous and nonaqueous electrolytes. The use of the Volta potential differences for determining real and chemical thermodynamic characteristics of individual ions in solutions is validated.     

On approximation of the heat capacity of substances in the gaseous state

Development of thermodynamic property databases and thermodynamic modeling algorithms require thermodynamic functions of substances presented in a functional form. In this paper we consider substances in the gaseous state only. The most known methods for approximating dependences of the thermodynamic functions on temperature are overviewed. An algorithm is proposed to fit the heat capacity with polynomials splitting the temperature range into intervals where the interval number and boundaries are optimized with respect to a given maximum approximation error. This algorithm is used in the IVTANTHERMO project and the corresponding thermodynamic modeling code.

Catalysts and thermodynamic coupling of chemical reactions

The condition of occurrence of the thermodynamic coupling of chemical reactions is analysed from kinetics. It is found that the thermodynamic coupling is impossible for those reactions which obey kinetically the mass action law. The thermodynamic coupling of chemical reactions is further analysed in the case with catalyst. It is found that the thermodynamic coupling which is impossible without catalyst may become possible by introducing proper catalyst into the system. This implies that the catalysts can change not only the rates of chemical reactions, but also the behaviors of thermodynamic coupling of chemical reactions, including the direction of some reactions. Such role of catalysts comes into play not by changing the total free energy of the system, but by changing the reaction mechanism.     

Universal relation for size dependent thermodynamic properties of metallic nanoparticles

The previous model on surface free energy has been extended to calculate size dependent thermodynamic properties (i.e., melting temperature, melting enthalpy, melting entropy, evaporation temperature, Curie temperature, Debye temperature and specific heat capacity) of nanoparticles. According to the quantitative calculation of size effects on the calculated thermodynamic properties, it is found that most thermodynamic properties of nanoparticles vary linearly with 1/D as a first approximation. In other words, the size dependent thermodynamic properties P(n) have the form of P(n) = P(b)(1 -K/D), in which P(b) is the corresponding bulk value and K is the material constant. This may be regarded as a scaling law for most of the size dependent thermodynamic properties for different materials. The present predictions are consistent literature values.

Generalized Fourth-Order Decompositions of Imaginary Time Path Integral: Implications of the Harmonic Oscillator

The imaginary time path integral formalism offers a powerful numerical tool for simulating thermodynamic properties of realistic systems. We show that, when second-order and fourth-order decompositions are employed, they share a remarkable unified analytic form for the partition function of the harmonic oscillator. We are then able to obtain the expression of the thermodynamic property and the leading error terms as well. In order to obtain reasonably optimal values of the free parameters in the generalized symmetric fourth-order decomposition scheme, we eliminate the leading error terms to achieve the accuracy of desired order for the thermodynamic property of the harmonic system. Such a strategy leads to an efficient fourth-order decomposition that produces third-order accurate thermodynamic properties for general systems.     

Effects of the nature and composition of the solvent on the thermodynamic characteristics of the individual forms of hydrogen adsorbed on the surface of porous nickel

The effects of the nature and composition of solvents on the thermodynamic characteristics of the adsorption states of hydrogen on nickel were studied. The adsorption can be described in terms of the thermodynamic model of a surface with a discrete nonhomogeneity for three individual forms of adsorbed hydrogen. The thermodynamic characteristics of the individual forms of hydrogen adsorbed on porous nickel from aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide, dimethylformamide, methanol, and ethanol were determined.     

Comparing columns for gas chromatography with the two-parameter model for retention prediction

The retention times of selected compounds in temperature programmed gas chromatography were predicted using a two-parameter model, on the basis of thermodynamic data obtained from isothermal runs on seven capillary columns, primarily substituted with 5% diphenylsiloxane. The scope for using thermodynamic data obtained from isothermal runs on one column to optimize separation on a different column or a different instrument setup was investigated. Additionally, the predictive utility of thermodynamic data obtained using a DB-5 column that had been in use for three years was compared to that of a new column of the same model. It was found that satisfactory separation could be achieved on one capillary column or instrument setup on the basis of thermodynamic data obtained using a different column or instrument set-up.     

Thermodynamic studies on thin liquid films. I. General formulation

From the viewpoint that thermodynamic study is essential to elucidate the structure and properties of thin liquid films, thermodynamic equations based on a new convention and employing pressure as a thermodynamic variable are developed for adsorption at film interfaces of a plane-parallel film. The equations together with quasi-thermodynamic ones correlate the dependence of film tension on concentration, temperature, pressure, and disjoining pressure to film density, entropy and volume changes associated with adsorption, and thermodynamic film thickness, respectively. Based on the formulation adopting pressure as a variable, equations are also derived for the differences in thermodynamic quantity between the film and the bulk interfaces coexisting at equilibrium.This revised version was published online in October 2004.Due to an unfortunate error Figure 1 has been omitted in the first version of the article which was published online first on April 23, 2004.     

Thermodynamic consistency of experimental VLE data for asymmetric binary mixtures at high pressures

A thermodynamic consistency of isothermal vapor–liquid equilibrium data for 9 non-polar and 8 polar binary asymmetric mixtures at high pressures has been evaluated. A method based on the isothermal Gibbs–Duhem equation was used for the test of thermodynamic consistency using a Φ–Φ approach. The Peng–Robinson equation of state coupled with the Wong–Sandler mixing rules were used for modeling the vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) within the thermodynamic consistency test. The VLE parameters calculations for asymmetric mixtures at high pressures were highly dependent on bubble pressure calculation, making more convenient to eliminate the data points yielding the highest deviations in pressure. However the results of the thermodynamic consistencies test of experimental data for many cases were found not fully consistent. As a result, the strategies for solving these problems were discussed in detailed.     

Calculations of crystal-melt interfacial free energies by nonequilibrium work measurements

We developed a multistep thermodynamic perturbation method to compute the interfacial free energies by nonequilibrium work measurements with cleaving potential procedure. Using this method, we calculated the interfacial free energies of different crystal orientations for the Lennard-Jones system. Our results are in good agreement with the results by thermodynamic integration method. Compared with thermodynamic integration method, the multistep thermodynamic perturbation method is more efficient. For each stage of the cleaving process, only a few thermodynamic perturbation steps are needed, and there is no requirement on the reversibility of the path.
