The relationship between the different state variables of a system subjected to no external forces other than a constant hydrostatic pressure can generally be described by an equation of state (EOS). In physical chemistry, several semiempirical equations (gas laws) have been formulated that describe how the density of a gas changes with pressure and temperature. Such equations contain experimentally derived constants characteristic of the particular gas. In a similar manner, the density of a sohd also changes with temperature or pressure, although to a considerably lesser extent than a gas does. Equations of state describing the pressure, volume, and temperature behavior of a homogeneous solid utilize thermophysical parameters analogous to the constants used in the various gas laws, such as the bulk modulus, B (the inverse of compressibUity), and the volume coefficient of thermal expansion, /3.

The volumetric weight and the ratio between the number of open and closed cells are the fundamental morphological parameters of foamed plastics. Nevertheless, it has been reported that even for the same volumetric weight and number of open (or closed) cells the strength and thermophysical parameters may be widely different in plastic foams made of the same polymer grade. The differences in cell shapes and sizes are responsible for this fact. 

The dependence of m xj and x on the distance (y ) for a transition region 10 /expansion coefficient and Young modulus) of the TiC phase vary with the carbon content and, therefore, along the y-axis in the FGM region. Using reported ta values in the literature [5], one can plot the x-dependence of these parameters that can be approximated by the following expressions ... 

The thermophysical parameters of sedimentary rocks in Eq. 6.3 are functions of porosity and temperature. Density (pj), volume heat capacity (Cvs), and thermal conductivity (Ks) are specified by the values for the mineral matrix (p j, Cvm, Km) and... 

The heat transfer in Eq. 6.3 is solved by implicit finite differences. This solution closely resembles that of Peaceman and Rachford (i955)> but is modified to include the variable values of the thermophysical parameters and variable steps dZ ...

The relevance of contact resistances in SPS process has been simulated and confirmed, with the simulation shown in Fig. 6.15 as an example [4]. The system simulated is a Model 1050-Sumitomo SPS, where a solid graphitic cylinder is inserted into the die. The 2D cylindrical coordinate system of coupled thermal and electrical problems is numerically solved by using Abaqus (FEM). The heat losses due to radiation from all exposed surfaces, except those on the ends of the rams, have been considered, where a constant temperature of 25 °C is used for the simulation. Thermophysical parameters of all materials are available in that study. A proportional feedback controller based on the outer surface temperature of the die is modeled, in order to determine the voltage drop applied at two ends of the rams. This controller is used to imitate the actual proportional integral derivative (PID), which is observed in real SPS facilities. It is used to apply electric power input to the system when experiments are conducted in terms of temperature controlling. 

The model has also been applied to the FAST of composite powder, ZrOi-TiN, with compositions from 65/35 to 10/90 vol% [37]. Mixture mles are adopted for the evaluation of thermophysical properties of the sintering powder. According to the electrical a) and thermal (k) conductivities of fully dense Zr02 and TiN as a function of temperature, the Polder-Van-Santen (PVS) mixture rule is used to obtain the thermophysical parameters of fully dense Zr02-TiN composite, given by ... 

The samples are treated as mixtures consisting a continuous matrix phase (m) and a secondary phase as solute or filler (p). The solute phase has particles with spherical shape which are homogeneously dispersed in the matrix. Vp is volumetric concentration of the solute phase in the mixture, which is either Z1O2 or TiN, depending on the composition of Zr02-TiN mixtures. Thermophysical parameters of the fully dense Zr02-TiN composites with different compositions, as a function of temperature, have been studied [37].

MicroChannel heat sinks, such as a microchannel of square cross section with internal longitudinal fins, are an integral part of most devices used for thermal management in electronic equipment cooling. A thermodynamic analysis may help optimize the height of fin and thermophysical parameters, based on the minimizing the entropy generation rates due to heat transfer and fluid flow within the microchannel. 

Since the variation of thermophysical parameters with respect to temperature and to solvent composition for real interacting systems is usually non-linear, estimated values of V, p and q for liquid mixtures corresponding to the experimental data gaps are subjected to substantial interpolation errors, especially when the experimentally determined data for a given solvent system are sparse. 

If the vaporization intensity is independent of the thermophysical parameters of the LPC gas and is determined only by the initial temperature of the liquid, one may observe the dependence of the shock intensity on the nature of a test gas in the LPC. For example, as is obvious from q. (8), the use helium instead of air at the same temperature T leads to a decrease in the shock overpressure Ap2 by about 2.5 times. 

The ultimate goal of this work was the calculation of thermodynamic functions, primarily enthalpies and reduced Gibbs energies used in practical calculations, by the second and third laws of thermodynamics. In view of this, the applicability of the procedure used for heat capacity calculations can be estimated by comparing these thermophysical parameters.
