Consider a closed system of a dust-laden air with an initial pressure of 1 atm. The dust particles are 10 /xm in diameter and the particle density is 2,000 kg/m3. The relative ratio of the specific heat of particle to gas is 50. The mass loading ratio of particle to gas is 10. Assuming the system undergoes an isentropic compression to a final state with a pressure of 20 atm, calculate the volume fraction of solids and estimate the averaged distance between particles in the final state. 

Specific Heat—The specific heat of particles is determined by heating a given weight of a sample to nearly 100 deg C in a steam bath, and quickly stirring the hot particles into the water in a calorimeter. The temperature rise may thus be determined and the specific heat obtained from this observation and the known masses involved. Most soils, whether loams, sands, or clays, have specific heats ranging from 0.15 to 0.20 cal per g per deg C. 

Fluctuations of observables from their average values, unless the observables are constants of motion, are especially important, since they are related to the response fiinctions of the system. For example, the constant volume specific heat of a fluid is a response function related to the fluctuations in the energy of a system at constant N, V and T, where A is the number of particles in a volume V at temperature T. Similarly, fluctuations in the number density (p = N/V) of an open system at constant p, V and T, where p is the chemical potential, are related to the isothemial compressibility iCp which is another response fiinction. Temperature-dependent fluctuations characterize the dynamic equilibrium of themiodynamic systems, in contrast to the equilibrium of purely mechanical bodies in which fluctuations are absent.

The experimental observation that one has different Debye temperatures for the three distinct surface sites of the AU55 cluster makes the use of a continuum-model picture for discussing the thermal behavior questionable. Indeed, for such small particle sizes, where the surface structure is so manifest, the use of the concept of surface modes becomes dubious, and is certainly inadequate to explain the observed temperature dependence of the f-factors. None the less, it has proven possible to describe the low temperature specific heat of AU55 quite well using such a continuum-model, when the center-of-mass motion is taken into account [99],...

Here q is chosen to be along the z-axis. cy is the specific heat per particle at constant volume and pq, Tq, and gq are the spatial Fourier components at t = 0. a = A/pcy. The above set of equations is used to obtain the correlation functions of the hydrodynamic variables. 

According to Violle,1 the temperature of the positive carbon point and of the carbon particles in the voltaic arc equals the evaporation temperature of carbon. This was determined by breaking off the incandescent tip of the carbon and dropping it into a calorimeter. One gram carbon requires 1600 cal. to heat it from 0° up to its evaporation temperature. As 300 cal. are necessary to heat it from 0° to 1000°, 1300 cal. remain for raising the temperature from 1000° to x°, if x is the evaporation temperature of carbon. If we take the specific heat of carbon at 0.52, then 1300 cal. represent 2500° more, so that the evaporation temperature of carbon, x and the hottest parts of the luminous arc, equal 35000.2... 

Specific heats of metals and hydrides are easily determined and typically fall in the range of 0.1-0.2 cal/g°C. Thermal conductivity is a little more difficult to determine. The conductivity of the metal or hydride phase is not sufficient the effective conductivity of the bed must be determined. This depends on alloy, particle size, packing, void space, etc. Relatively little data of an engineering nature is now available and must be generated for container optimization. Techniques to improve thermal conductivity of hydride beds are needed. As pointed out earlier, good heat exchange is the most important factor in rapid cycling. 

Note that suspension polymerization is only superficially related to emulsion polymerization, which was outlined in Chapter 8. In suspension processes the coagulation of the dispersion is controlled by agitation plus the action of a water-soluble polymer and/or a fine particle size inorganic powder. The role of water is to act primarily as a heat transfer medium. In vinyl chloride suspension polymerization the specific heat of the monomer and polymer are about equal and are one-quarter that of water, on an equal weight basis. Thus, at the typical 1.5/1 water/vinyl chloride mass ratio the heat capacity of the aqueous phase is about six times that of the organic phase. Another use of water is, of course, to keep the viscosity of the reaction medium at a useful level. Water/monomer ratios of 1.5/1 to 1.75/1 provide a good compromise between suspension concentration and viscosity. 

The long-lived isotope of radium, Ra, decays hy alpha particle emission to its daughter radon, Rn, with a half-life of 1622 years. The energy of the alpha particle is 4.79 MeV. Suppose 1.00 g of Ra, freed of all its radioactive progeny, were placed in a calorimeter that contained 10.0 g of water, initially at 25°C. Neglecting the heat capacity of the calorimeter and heat loss to the surroundings, calculate the temperature the water would reach after 1.00 hour. Take the specific heat of water to be 4.18 J g. ...

Quantum mechanics represents one of the cornerstones of modem physics. Though there were a variety of different clues (such as the ultraviolet catastrophe associated with blackbody radiation, the low-temperature specific heats of solids, the photoelectric effect and the existence of discrete spectral lines) which each pointed towards quantum mechanics in its own way, we will focus on one of these threads, the so-called wave-particle duality, since this duality can at least point us in the direction of the Schrodinger equation.
