Evaluation of the parameters of the Bender equation of state for low acentric factor fluids and carbon dioxide

Volumetric properties of several low acentric factor fluids (Ar, CH₄, C₂H₆, Kr, N₂, Ne, O₂, Xe) as well as CO₂ are modeled using the Bender equation of state. This equation is a linear function of 19 adjustable parameters, which are evaluated from properties data, using a linear numerical procedure. The validity of the EOS is tested by calculating the Joule-Thomson inversion curve. A simple model is in particular used to correlate the inversion properties predicted by the Bender equation, expressed in term of reduced pressure as a function of reduced temperatures ranging from 0.8 to 6. The simple correlation reproduces accurately the used data. We employ data on state behaviour ρ(P,T) of homogeneous fluid phases, vapour-liquid equilibrium, second virial coefficient and the coordinates of the critical point.     

Noether's Theorem on Surfaces

In this article we prove a version of Noether's Theorem (of Calculus of Variations) which is valid for a general regular (compact) surface. As a special feature, the Lie group of transformations is allowed to act on the Cartesian product of the surface and the functional space. Additionally, we apply the Theorem to a problem in Classical Differential Geometry of surfaces. The given application is actually an example showing how Noether's Theorem can be used to construct invariant properties of the solutions to variational problems defined on surfaces, or equivalently, of the solutions to the associated Euler-Lagrange equations resulting from them.     

Unscaled spatial branging process with interaction: macrospic equation and local equilibrium

For some spatial branching processes with interaction considered as measure–valued processes, convergence to solutions of non–linear macroscopic equation and local equilibrium are proved, without scaling but providing each particle with a small mass ε and assuming convergence of the initial distribution when ε goes to 0     

Pressure dependent study of semiconductors using semiempirical equations of state

Abstract

Variation of bulk modulus of Si, Ge and GaAs with pressure is studied using four semiempirical equations of state, two of which being proposed very recently. Hence an expression for bulk modulus for arbitrary pressure for the semiconductors similar to Cohen's formula for zero pressure is arrived at. The applicability of these equations of state for the high pressure phases of Si and Ge is tested using the recent experimental and theoretical pressure-volume data of these phases.     

Variational Operators,Symplectic Operators,and the Cohomology of Scalar Evolution Equations

For a scalar evolution equation u_t = K(t, x, u, u_x, . . . , u_2m+1) with m ≥ 1, the cohomology space H^1,2() is shown to be isomorphic to the space of variational operators and an explicit isomorphism is given. The space of symplectic operators for u_t = K for which the equation is Hamiltonian is also shown to be isomorphic to the space H^1,2() and subsequently can be naturally identified with the space of variational operators. Third order scalar evolution equations admitting a first order symplectic (or variational) operator are characterized. The variational operator (or symplectic) nature of the potential form of a bi-Hamiltonian evolution equation is also presented in order to generate examples of interest.     

Dew Points of Binary Methane + Water: Measurement and Correlation

Experimental measurements of dew points for four methane + water mixtures between 2.6 2 10 5 Pa and 100.4 2 10 5 Pa and the temperature range from 225.5 K to 272.7 K were carried out. The experimental results were analysed in terms of both an equation of state model and an excess function-equation of state method, which reproduced the experimental data within AAD from 1.8 to 3.1 K and from 0.9 to 1.8 K, respectively.     

数值误差对能斯特方程计算结果的影响

电势和浓度通过能斯特方程相互计算时,计算结果受对方数值误差的影响。本文通过误差传递和实例研究了这种影响。结果表明：浓度误差对电势计算值的影响小,而电势误差对浓度计算值的影响大;这种现象在电子转移数较多、电势较大时更加显著。浓度为计算目标时需要重视数值误差的影响,所以代入能斯特方程的电势值应该有足够精度,或者避免使用能斯特方程,而是通过平衡常数进行计算。电势为计算目标时,浓度误差的影响较小,因此可以通过近似手段估算浓度,然后代入能斯特方程,既简化计算,又保证精度。     

低温液体无损贮存压力升高的实验与计算

准确、简单地预测低温液体无损贮存时的压力升高具有重要的实用价值。对一低温容器利用液氮为介质进行了多次无损贮存实验,利用多元线性回归方法对实验数据进行分析和检验。分析表明无损贮存时间、初始充满率对压力升高的影响较大,而环境温度的影响可以忽略,并拟合出了压力升高的计算公式。计算结果和实验结果在很大范围内能够较好地吻合。该种计算方法在预测低温液体无损贮存压力升高时有较高的准确性与可靠性。
