  • We have designed an extractive distillation for separating maximum boiling azeotrope of acetone-chloroform system. PRO/II 9.4 was used to simulate the overall process. The VLE data adopted from Dortmund data bank was regressed to obtain a new set of binary interaction parameters. Three different entrainers were used for the separation process--dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ethylene glycol (EG) and benzene--to test their viability for the acetone-chloroform system. Thermodynamic feasibility analysis was done through ternary map diagrams. Two different thermodynamic models, NRTL and UNIQUAC, were explored for the study of overall process.

  • High quality BSCCO thin films have been fabricated by means of an ion beam sputtering at various substrate temperatures, $T_{sub}$, and ozone gas pressures, $PO_3$. The correlation diagrams of the BSCCO phases appeared against $T_{sub}$ and $PO_3$ are established in the 2212 and 2223 compositional films. In spite of 2212 compositional sputtering, Bi220l and Bi2223 phases as well as Bi2212 one come out as stable phases depending on $T_{sub}$ and $PO_3$. From these results, the thermodynamic evaluations of ${\Delta}H$ and ${\Delta}S$ S, which are related with Gibbs' free energy change for single Bi2212 or Bi2223 phase are performed.

  • The thermodynamic performance of ocean thermal energy conversion with 1 kg/s geothermal water flow rate as a heat source was evaluated to obtain the basic data for the optimal design of cycle with respect to the classification of the working fluid. The basic thermodynamic model for cycle is rankine cycle and the geothermal water and deep seawater were adapted for the heat source of evaporator and condenser, respectively. R245fa, R134a are better to use as a working fluid than others in view of the use of geothermal water. It is important to select the proper working fluid to operate the ocean thermal energy conversion. So, this paper can be used as the basic data for the design of ocean thermal energy conversion with geothermal water and deep seawater.

  • Fasciclin 1 (FAS1) is an extracellular protein whose aggregation in cornea leads to visual impairment. While a number of FAS1 mutants have been studied that exhibit enhanced/decreased aggregation propensity, no structural information has been provided so far that is associated with distinct aggregation potential. In this study, we have investigated the structural and thermodynamic characteristics of the wild-type FAS1 and its two mutants, R555Q and R555W, by using molecular dynamics simulations and three-dimensional reference interaction site model (3D-RISM) theory. We find that the hydrophobic solvent accessible surface area increases due to hydrophobic core repacking in the C-terminus caused by the mutation. We also find that the solvation free energy of the mutants increases due to the enhanced non-native H-bonding. These structural and thermodynamic changes upon mutation contribute to understand the aggregation of these mutants.

  • The GaN thick films were deposited on sapphire substrates by the chloride vapor phase epitaxy (CVPE) technique suing the GaCl3-NH3-N2 chemistry. Thermodynamic simulations were carried out to predict the optimum process windows, and the results were compared with the experiments. A large difference in the growth temperature was observed between the calculation an the experiment, and it indicated that the growth of GaN by the CVPE technique is kinetically limited.

  • In this paper, thermodynamic design data for heating of double-effect absorption system using LiCl-water for evaporator heating source of sofar energy are investigated for the water-LiCl pair and a comparative study of the water-LiCl pair with the water-LiBr pair is given used for the computer simulation. The computer simulation is based on mass, material and heat balance equations for each part of the system. Coefficients of performance and flow ratios for effects of different operating temperatures are investigated. It is found that the heating COP is higher for the water -LiCl pair than for the water-LiBr pair, and FR is lower for the water-LiCl pair than for the water LiBr pair.

  • Thermodynamic and economic analyses of various types of gas turbine combined cycle power plants have been performed to establish criteria for optimization of power plants. The concept of efficiency, in terms of the difference in energy levels of electricity and heat, was introduced. The efficiency of power and heat generation by power plants with other purposes was estimated, and power generation costs were figured out for various types of combined heat and power plants(i.e., fired and unfired, condensing and non-condensing modes, single or double pressure HRSG).
