Isochore, the

Figure 8.6B shows a wider P-T portion with the location of the critical region for H2O, bound by the 421.85 °C isotherm and the p = 0.20 and 0.42 glcvci isochores. The PVT properties of H2O within the critical region are accurately described by the nonclassical (asymptotic scaling) equation of state of Levelt Sengers et al. (1983). Outside the critical region and up to 1000 °C and 15 kbar, PVT properties of H2O are accurately reproduced by the classical equation of state of Haar et al. (1984). An appropriate description of the two equations of state is beyond the purposes of this textbook, and we refer readers to the excellent revision of Johnson and Norton (1991) for an appropriate treatment. 

Figure 5. Constant-volume heat capacity, Cy, of the AHS fluid with a = 6 as obtained from NVT (filled circles and solid line) and pVT (open circles and dashed line) MC simulations of systems with L = 10a along the bulk critical isochore. The kinetic contribution (equal to SNIcb/Z) is included.

Figure 20. (a) Orientational correlation time t in the logarithmic scale as function of the inverse of the scaled temperature, with the scaling being done by the isotropic to nematic transition temperature with Ti-N. For the insets, the horizontal and the vertical axis labels read the same as that of the main frame and are thus omitted for clarity. Along each isochor, the solid line is the Arrhenius fit to the subset of the high-temperature data and the dotted line corresponds to the fit to the data near the isotropic-nematic phase boundary with the VFT form, (b) Fragility index m as a function of density for different aspect ratios of model calamitic systems. The systems considered are GB(3, 5, 2, 1), GB(3.4, 5, 2, 1), and GB(3.8, 5, 2, 1). In each case, N = 500. (Reproduced from Ref. 136.)... 

Finally, G bands did not reveal the presence of H3 isochores, the only exceptions being two G400 bands, lp36.2 and 19ql3.4, which yielded two Rgso H3" bands, lp36.22, and 19ql3.42, respectively (Fig. 7.8). 

An important question concerns the effect of the minor shift on the isochore pattern. This problem has been explored on all syntenic regions shared by human and mouse, that were large enough to comprise more than one isochore. The results of this investigation (Pavli-cek et al., 2002b) indicate that the human isochore pattern is still recognizable in the mouse chromosomes after the minor shift. This will be illustrated here by considering the major histocompatibility (MHC) locus. 

Figure 2. Diffusion coefficient of the RSS system along (a) isotherms and (b) isochors. The insets in (a) and the low (b) shows temperature isotherms and low-temperature region, respectively of some isochors.

Figure 3b shows the diffusion coefficient along isobars as a function of temperature. The situation is analogous to the case of isochors the curves are monotonous, however, they intersect at low temperatures, corresponding to anomalous region (see the inset in Fig. 3b). It means that if we have the diffusion coefficient along isobars, we can identify the presence of anomalies by monitoring the intersections of the curves. However, by the reasons discussed above, this method is not practically convenient.

To determine the density of liquid freon, the method of a nonballast constant-volume piezometer with membrane-mercury separator was used. The mass of the substance in the piezometer was determined by weighing after freezing out Freon-23 in the separating container. The temperature and pressure were measured using the same instruments as in Ref. [4.3]. Experiments were conducted along the isochores. The maximum error of measuring specific volume fell within the range 0.1-0.2%. 

Jacobus Hendricus van t Hoff, 1852-1911, Dutch chemist, was awarded in 1901 the first Nobel Prize for chemistry in recognition of the extraordinary services he has rendered by the discovery of the laws of chemical dynamics and osmotic pressure in solution. At that time he was a professor at the University of Berlin. He was especially concerned with the dynamics of chemical equilibria. His famous equation (van t Hoff s equation) was, at that time, called the reaction isochore. The equation expresses the variation of equilibrium constant with temperature.Van t Hoff died of tuberculosis at Steglitz near Berlin.
