The phase diagram is supposed to be the graphical representation of the mole fractions of pairs of coexisting phases as a function of T (or P).

  • FUGACITY It Is Simply a Measure of Molar Gibbs Energy of a Real Gas
    FUGACITY It is simply a measure of molar Gibbs energy of a real gas . Modifying the simple equation for the chemical potential of an ideal gas by introducing the concept of a fugacity (f). The fugacity is an “ effective pressure” which forces the equation below to be true for real gases: θθθ f µµµ ,p( T) === µµµ (T) +++ RT ln where pθ = 1 atm pθθθ A plot of the chemical potential for an ideal and real gas is shown as a function of the pressure at constant temperature. The fugacity has the units of pressure. As the pressure approaches zero, the real gas approach the ideal gas behavior and f approaches the pressure. 1 If fugacity is an “effective pressure” i.e, the pressure that gives the right value for the chemical potential of a real gas. So, the only way we can get a value for it and hence for µµµ is from the gas pressure. Thus we must find the relation between the effective pressure f and the measured pressure p. let f = φ p φ is defined as the fugacity coefficient. φφφ is the “fudge factor” that modifies the actual measured pressure to give the true chemical potential of the real gas. By introducing φ we have just put off finding f directly. Thus, now we have to find φ. Substituting for φφφ in the above equation gives: p µ=µ+(p,T)θ (T) RT ln + RT ln φ=µ (ideal gas) + RT ln φ pθ µµµ(p,T) −−− µµµ(ideal gas ) === RT ln φφφ This equation shows that the difference in chemical potential between the real and ideal gas lies in the term RT ln φφφ.φ This is the term due to molecular interaction effects.

  • Phase Diagrams
    Module-07 Phase Diagrams Contents 1) Equilibrium phase diagrams, Particle strengthening by precipitation and precipitation reactions 2) Kinetics of nucleation and growth 3) The iron-carbon system, phase transformations 4) Transformation rate effects and TTT diagrams, Microstructure and property changes in iron- carbon system Mixtures – Solutions – Phases Almost all materials have more than one phase in them. Thus engineering materials attain their special properties. Macroscopic basic unit of a material is called component. It refers to a independent chemical species. The components of a system may be elements, ions or compounds. A phase can be defined as a homogeneous portion of a system that has uniform physical and chemical characteristics i.e. it is a physically distinct from other phases, chemically homogeneous and mechanically separable portion of a system. A component can exist in many phases. E.g.: Water exists as ice, liquid water, and water vapor. Carbon exists as graphite and diamond. Mixtures – Solutions – Phases (contd…) When two phases are present in a system, it is not necessary that there be a difference in both physical and chemical properties; a disparity in one or the other set of properties is sufficient. A solution (liquid or solid) is phase with more than one component; a mixture is a material with more than one phase. Solute (minor component of two in a solution) does not change the structural pattern of the solvent, and the composition of any solution can be varied. In mixtures, there are different phases, each with its own atomic arrangement. It is possible to have a mixture of two different solutions! Gibbs phase rule In a system under a set of conditions, number of phases (P) exist can be related to the number of components (C) and degrees of freedom (F) by Gibbs phase rule.

  • Neutron Star Cooling and Discuss the Main Issue: What We Can Learn About the Internal Structure of Neutron Stars by Confronting Theory and Observation
    To appear in Ann. Rev. Astron. Astrophys. 2004 Neutron Star Cooling D. G. Yakovlev 1 and C. J. Pethick 2 1Ioffe Physical Technical Institute, Politekhnicheskaya 26, 194021 St.-Petersburg, Russia, e-mail: [email protected]ffe.ru 2NORDITA, The Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics, Blegdamsvej 17, DK– 2100 Copenhagen Ø, Denmark, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Observation of cooling neutron stars can potentially provide information about the states of matter at supernuclear densities. We review physical properties important for cooling such as neutrino emission processes and superfluidity in the stellar interior, surface envelopes of light elements due to accretion of matter and strong surface magnetic fields. The neutrino pro- cesses include the modified Urca process, and the direct Urca process for nucleons and exotic states of matter such as a pion condensate, kaon con- densate, or quark matter. The dependence of theoretical cooling curves on physical input and observations of thermal radiation from isolated neutron stars are described. The comparison of observation and theory leads to a unified interpretation in terms of three characteristic types of neutron stars: high-mass stars which cool primarily by some version of the direct Urca process; low-mass stars, which cool via slower processes; and medium-mass stars, which have an intermediate behavior. The related problem of thermal states of transiently accreting neutron stars with deep crustal burning of accreted matter is discussed in connection with observations of soft X-ray transients. arXiv:astro-ph/0402143v1 6 Feb 2004 1 INTRODUCTION Neutron stars are the most compact stars in the Universe. They have masses M ∼ 1.4 M⊙ and radii R ∼ 10 km, and they contain matter at supernuclear densities in their cores.

  • Cooling Electrons in Semiconductor Devices: a Model of Evaporative Emission
    PHYSICAL REVIEW B 75, 035316 ͑2007͒ Cooling electrons in semiconductor devices: A model of evaporative emission Thushari Jayasekera, Kieran Mullen, and Michael A. Morrison* Homer L. Dodge Department of Physics and Astronomy, The University of Oklahoma, 440 West Brooks Street, Norman, Oklahoma 73019-0225, USA ͑Received 4 April 2006; revised manuscript received 2 November 2006; published 11 January 2007͒ We discuss the theory of cooling electrons in solid-state devices via “evaporative emission.” Our model is based on filtering electron subbands in a quantum-wire device. When incident electrons in a higher-energy subband scatter out of the initial electron distribution, the system equilibrates to a different chemical potential and temperature than those of the incident electron distribution. We show that this re-equilibration can cause considerable cooling of the system. We discuss how the device geometry affects the final electron temperatures, and consider factors relevant to possible experiments. We demonstrate that one can therefore induce substantial electron cooling due to quantum effects in a room-temperature device. The resulting cooled electron population could be used for photodetection of optical frequencies corresponding to thermal energies near room temperature.

We improve upon this result by switching to a “plus-junction” design, which improves the As electronic devices become smaller, they leave the re- cooling characteristics of the device. In Sec. IV we discuss gime of classical physics and enter the realm of quantum applications and realistic parameters for a device to cool physics.

  • COOLING CURVE ANALYSIS in BINARY Al-Cu ALLOYS: PART I- EFFECT of COOLING RATE and COPPER CONTENT on the EUTECTIC FORMATION

Dehnavi1, F. Kuhestani2, M. Haddad-Sabzevar1 1Department of Materials Engineering and Metallurgy, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran 2Faculty of Materials Engineering, Semnan University, Semnan, Iran. Received 28.02.2015 Accepted 25.08.2015 Abstract There are many techniques available for investigating the solidification of metals and alloys. In recent years computer-aided cooling curve analysis (CA-CCA) has been used to determine thermo-physical properties of alloys, latent heat and solid fraction. In this study, the effect of cooling rate and copper addition was taken into consideration in non- equilibrium eutectic transformation of binary Al- Cu melt via cooling curve analysis. For this purpose, melts with different copper weight percent of 2.2, 3.7 and 4.8 were prepared and cooled in controlled rates of 0.04 and 0.42 °C/s. Results show that, latent heat of alloy highly depends upon the post- solidification cooling rate and composition. As copper content of alloy and cooling rate increase, achieved non- equilibrium eutectic phase increases that leads to release of high amount of latent heat and appearing of second deviation in cooling curve. This deviation can be seen in first time derivative curve in the form of a definite peak. Key words: cooling curve, latent heat, first derivative curve, non- equilibrium eutectic Introduction Depending on the casting conditions and alloy composition, microstructure, properties and characteristics of the aluminum alloys will be different [1].

Reproduction, adaption, or translation without prior written permission is prohibited, except as allowed under the copyright laws. The information contained in this publication is subject to change without notice. Printed in Germany 06/00 Publication number 5980-1397E Preface Preface In 1988 we published a primer entitled “The Diode-Array Advantage in UV/Visible Spectroscopy”. At the time, although diode-array spectrophotometers had been on the market since 1979, their characteristics and their advantages compared with conventional scanning spectrophotometers were not well-understood. We sought to rectify the situation. The primer was very well-received, and many thousands of copies have been distributed. Much has changed in the years since the first primer, and we felt this was an appropriate time to produce a new primer. Computers are used increasingly to evaluate data; Good Laboratory Practice has grown in importance; and a new generation of diode-array spectrophotometers is characterized by much improved performance. With this primer, our objective is to review all aspects of UV-visible spectroscopy that play a role in obtaining the best results. Microprocessor and/or computer control has taken much of the drudgery out of data processing and has improved productivity. As instrument manufacturers, we would like to believe that analytical instruments are now easier to operate. Despite these advances, a good knowledge of the basics of UV-visible spectroscopy, of the instrumental limitations, and of the pitfalls of sample handling and sample chemistry remains essential for good results.
