The investigation of the (p,ρ,T) and (ps,ρs,Ts) properties of {(1−x)CH3OH + xLiBr} for the application in absorption refrigeration machines and heat pumps

The (p,ρ,T) and (p_s,ρ_s,T_s) properties of {(1−x)CH₃OH + xLiBr} over a wide range of state parameters are reported for the first time. The experiments were carried out in a constant volume piezometer over a temperature range from 298.15 K to 398.15 K, at 0.08421, 0.13617, 0.19692, 0.23133 and 0.26891 mole fractions and from atmospheric pressure up to 60 MPa. The experimental uncertainties are ΔT=±3 mK for temperature, Δp=±5·10⁻² MPa for high pressure and Δp=±5·10⁻⁴ MPa for atmospheric pressure, Δρ=±3·10⁻² kg · m⁻³ for density. An equation of state was derived for correlation of the experimental data of the solutions.     

PVA／PVP共混物的聚集态结构

热处理前后不同组份比二元共混物聚乙烯醇(PVA)和聚乙烯吡咯烷酮(PVP)的聚集态结构研究表明,热处理可明显提高共混物的结晶性。热处理前样品仅观察到(101)晶面衍射,热处理后可观察到4个以上衍射晶面。结晶度和微晶大小随共混物中PVP含量增加而降低。第二类晶格畸变则随PVP含量增加而增大。     

Heat capacities of aqueous solutions of amino acid and dipeptide derivatives of fullerene

The concentration dependences of heat capacities of aqueous solutions of several amino acid and peptide derivatives of fullerene were measured by scanning differential calorimetry at 298 K. The heat capacities for the arginine, alanylalanine, and glycylvaline derivatives dissolved in water depend slightly on concentration. The concentration dependences of the heat capacities of aqueous solutions of the serine and alanine derivatives display extrema. The calculated contributions of hydration to the heat capacities of the dissolved fullerene derivatives have both positive and negative signs. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Ionization of five aqueous fluorobenzoic acids: Conductance and thermodynamics

The three monofluorobenzoic acids together with 2,4-difluoro and 2,6-difluorobenzoic acids in aqueous solution are the subject of precision conductance measurements. The experimental data are analyzed to give ionization constants and limiting conductances at temperatures from 0 to 100°C. Walden products for the acid anions are derived from the limiting conductances while the ionization consatants are fitted by statistical methods to the function pK _a (m)=A+B/T+ C logT+DT. Only the 2,6- acid requires the fourth term of the function to fit the data to a precision of better than 0.03%. Mathematical analysis of the pK function gives the standard changes in enthalpy, entropy, and heat capacity. All the acids studied are more acidic than the parent, benzoic acid, as well as more acidic than the isoelectronic methylbenzoic acids. In general the increased acidity is tied to decreases in enthalpy while entropy changes on ionization differn little from those found for the parent acid.     

Quantitative Correlations for the Estimation of Thermodynamic and Molecular Properties of Pyridines and 2,2′-Bipyridyines

Standard heats of formation, entropies, ionization potentials, and molecular dipole moments of a series of pyridines have been calculated by MNDO, AM1 and PM3 methods. Linear relationship have been established which permit a priori estimation of thermodynamic and molecular characteristics of pyridines. Correlation have been found between the values of pK_a for 2,2′-bipyridines for aqueous solutions and their gas phase proton affinities.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, 391–402, March, 2005.     

Binary mixtures of cyclohexanone, 2-butanone, 1,4-dioxane and 1,2-dimethoxyethane

Densities and sound velocities of binary mixtures of cyclohexanone, 2-butanone, 1,4-dioxane and 1,2-dimethoxyethane were measured at 298.15 K and also the densities at 303.15 K. Excess volumes were determined from densities. Isentropic compressibilities were determined from densities and sound velocities, and excess thermal expansion factors were determined from excess volumes of two temperatures. Excess isothermal compressibilities and excess isochoric heat capacities were then estimated using excess isobaric heat capacities previously reported. Excess volumes and excess isentropic and isothermal compressibilities were negative except for cyclohexanone+1,4-dioxane system. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Solvation of small hydrophobic molecules in formamide: A calorimetric study

The solubility and enthalpy of solution of benzene, cyclohexane, hexane, and heptane in formanide have been determined from titration microcalorimetric experiments at 25°C. The solution enthalpies are significantly more endothermic than in water but still the solubility is much higher. The entropy changes in formamide are small and positive and do not vary significantly with size. The enthalpies of solution of some 1-alkanols, 1-chloro- and 1,5-dichloropentane and pentane-1,5-diol were measured as functions of concentration. The solution enthalpies for 1-alkanols from methanol to decanol increase linearly with chain length. The enthalpic interaction coefficients h_xx are small and negative in formamide while they are large and positive in water. The partial molar heat capacities C _p,2 ^o for 1-propanol, 1-pentanol, benzene and cyclohexane in formamide were determined at 25°C from drop heat capacity measurements. Values of C _p,2 ^o are only slightly larger than the molar heat capacities of the liquid solutes.

Adsorption Heat Pump Using an Innovative Coupling Refrigeration Cycle

An adsorption heat pump system using a new binary coupling adsorptive cycle is developed and tested. Experimental results show that the COP of the binary coupling cycle is higher than that of a pure zeolite-water system. The system operating pressure is found to be moderate (close to the ambient pressure) when a proper concentration of ammonia is used in the system. The moderate operating pressure of the new coupling cycle results in low leakage to the system, achieving long life and the light design of the system vessels. The use of the new binary adsorption cycle greatly improves the feasibility and reliability of the adsorption heat pumps, providing essential benefits for the industrialisation of adsorption heat pumps.     

Heat capacities of concentrated multicomponent aqueous electrolyte solutions at various temperatures

The specific heat capacities of the aqueous multicomponent system NaCl +KCl+MgCl₂+CaCl₂ with ionic strength between 8.3 and 9.6 (resembling Dead Sea waters) were measured between 15°C and 45°C. The obtained data were fitted to an empirical equation as a function of concentration and temperature. The thermodynamic functions of the studied multicomponent system were found to be strongly influenced by changes in MgCl₂ concentrations. The application of Young's rule to such concentrated systems was checked at 25°C. The calculated (by Young's rule) specific heat capacitiesC _p and apparent molar heat capacities C_p, of these multicomponent electrolyte solutions were in reasonable agreement with the measured values (–0.008 J-g^–1-K^–1 and –2.6 J-mol^–1-K^–1, respectively).
