Energy reversibility

Figure 5.3. Layout of a decentralised, building-integrated hydrogen and fuel cell system based on intermittent primary power sources (such as wind or solar energy), reversible fuel cells and local stores, including stationary and maybe vehicle-based stores, and possibly capable of interchanging hydrogen with users in other buildings through pipelines (Sorensen, 2002a).

A detailed analysis shows that the activation energy (reverse) differs from E (forward) by the difference in enthalpy of the reactants and the products. For the reactions Hg + I2 2HI this enthalpy difference is 10 kJ mole" (Table VI-10) hence, with the result from Example 10-5, we can state that the value of E (reverse) for the reaction 2HI —> Hg -b I2 is 180 -t- 10 = 190 kJ mole". ... 

Conversion of Mechanical Into Chemical Energy (Reverse Chemomechanical System)... 

These results indicate that the free energy of phase transition from ordered to disordered structure is changed by the application of external stress and this can be considered as a good example of the conversion of mechanical to chemical potential energy (reverse chemomechanical system). 

Consider the free expansion of a gas shown in Fig. 3.8 on page 79. The system is the gas. Assume that the vessel walls are rigid and adiabatic, so that the system is isolated. When the stopcock between the two vessels is opened, the gas expands irreversibly into the vacuum without heat or work and at constant internal energy. To carry out the same change of state reversibly, we confine the gas at its initial volume and temperature in a cylinder-and-piston device and use the piston to expand the gas adiabatically with negative work. Positive heat is then needed to return the internal energy reversibly to its initial value. Because the reversible path has positive heat, the entropy change is positive.

The first smdies of redox reactions occurring within films composed of DNA duplexes were first conducted with methylene blue (MB) [23], an intercalating probe that exhibits a low-energy, reversible reduction at -0.25 V vs. SCE. Pronounced electrochemical signals exhibiting the features expected for a surface-bound species were observed at low intercalator concentrations, indicating that MB bound with high affinity to the modified electrode surface. Quantitation of the...
