Universe temperature

The apolar contribution to AS0, ASap, is better characterized than AHap. The value of Tt has been shown to be a universal temperature for all processes involving the transfer of an apolar surface into water and has a value of 112°C (Murphy et al., 1990). At this temperature the AS0 of transfer, ASf, represents the mixing entropy of the process. The universal value of Tt was determined using mole fraction concentration units, so that the liquid transfer ASf takes on a value of zero. The value of Tt remains the same using the local standard state of Ben-Naim (i.e., molar concentration units) (Ben-Naim, 1978), but the value of Ais increased by R ln(55.5), where R is the gas constant and 55.5 is the molarity of water. 

Subsequently it was observed that the presence of convergence temperatures is also easily seen in plots of AH° or AS0 at 25°C versus ACp. If a convergence temperature exists, then this plot will be linear. The slope is equal to (298.15 — 7h) or ln(298.15/Ts) and the intercept is A// or AS. Using such plots it was shown that T% for the transfer of apolar compounds from any phase, as well as for protein dena-turation, was a universal temperature near 112°C (Murphy et al., 1990). This observation lent further support to the view that the convergence temperatures were associated with the hydrophobic effect. It must be noted also that these plots do not require the assumption that ACp be constant with temperature. 

It appears that there are two temperatures of a universal nature that describe the thermodynamic properties for the dissolution of liquid hydrocarbons into water. The first of these, 7h is the temperature at which the heat of solution is zero and has a value of approximately 20°C for a variety of liquids. The second universal temperature is Ts, where the standard-state entropy change is zero and, as noted, Ts is about 140°C. The standard-state free energy change can be expressed in terms of these two temperatures, requiring knowledge only of the heat capacity change for an individual substance... 

Abstract Existing data on 63Cu-nuclear spin relaxation reveal two independent relaxation processes the one that is temperature independent we link to incommensurate peaks seen by neutrons, while the "universal temperature dependent contribution coincides with 1/6371 (1/ ) for two-chain YBCO 124. We argue that this new result substitutes for a "pseudogap regime in a broad class of high-Tc cuprates and stems from the 1st order phase transition that starts well above the superconductivity Tc but becomes frustrated because of broken electroneutrality in the CuC>2 plane. 

A widespread view is that the feature comes from some crossover in the electronic density of states (DOS). The main result of the present paper is that after a proper re-arrangement of the experimental data no PG feature exists in the 63 Cu nuclear spin relaxation time behaviour. Instead, the data show two independent parallel relaxation mechanisms a temperature independent one that we attribute to stripes caused by the presence of external dopants and an "universal temperature dependent term which turns out to be exactly the same as in the stoichiometric compound YBCO 124. 

This prompts us to verify whether same "off-settings of the 1/63Ti data apply to a broader group of materials. The stoichiometric YBa2Cu40g possesses no structural or defect disorder and we adjust all data to the 1 /637j behaviour for this material [3]. Fig. 2 shows that after a vertical shift in l/63Tj all the materials indeed follow the same "universal temperature dependence above their Tc and below 300 K. In other words, in this temperature range the nuclear spin relaxation in these cuprates is a sum of contributions from two parallel processes ... 

We have found that in a temperature interval above Tc and below some T 300 K the nuclear spin relaxation for a broad class of cuprates comes from two independent mechanisms relaxation on the stripe -like excitations that leads to a temperature independent contribution to 1 /63i and an universal temperature dependent term. For Lai.seSro.nCuC we obtained a correct quantitative estimate for the value of the first term. We concluded from eq.(l) and Fig.3 that "stripes always come about with external doping and may be pinned by structural defects. We argue that the whole pattern fits well the notion of the dynamical PS into coexisting metallic and IC magnetic phases. Experimentally, it seems that with the temperature decrease dynamical PS acquires the static character with the IC symmetry breaking for AF phase dictated by the competition between the lattice and the Coulomb forces. The form of coexistence of the IC magnetism with SC below Tc remains not understood as well as behaviour of stoichiometric cuprates. 

ET-AAS and ICP-AES techniques for the determination of Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, and Pb in milk powder were compared by Vuchkova et al. [63], Samples were digested both by an acidic treatment and by dry ashing. A universal temperature programme was reported for ET-AAS, without chemical modifier addition, because the high Mg and P content of the sample can act this way. Elements in the concentration range of ng g-1 (Cd, Co, Cr, Ni, and Pb) were determined by ET-AAS with good accuracy and precision. The detection power of ICP-AES did... 

Two systems in thermal contact eventually arrive at a state of thermal equilibrium. Temperature, as a universal function of the state and the internal energy, uniquely defines the thermal equilibrium. If system 1 is in equilibrium with system 2, and if system 2 is in equilibrium with system 3, then system 1 is in equilibrium with system 3. This is called the zeroth law of thermodynamics and implies the construction of a universal temperature scale (stated first by Joseph Black in the eighteenth century, and named much later by Guggenheim). If a system is in thermal equilibrium, it is assumed that the energy is distributed uniquely over the volume. Once the energy of the system increases, the temperature of the system also increases (dU/dT> 0). 

Prove that the postulate rendering AS > 0 for any spontaneous process in isolated systems is consistent with making the universal temperature function T positive. 

A fundamental attribute of temperature is that for any body in a state of equilibrium the temperature may be expressed by a number on a temperature scale, defined without particular reference to that body. The applicability of a universal temperature scale to all physical bodies at equilibrium is a consequence of an empirical law (sometimes called the zeroth law of thermodynamics ), which states that if a body is in thermal equilibrium separately with each of two other bodies these two will be also in thermal equilibrium with each other.

One interesting consequence of the compensation law in Equation (31) is the prediction that all rates (chemical, diffusional, etc.) become equal at some universal temperature called the isokinetic temperature. From Equation (31)... 

While the kinetics of plastic response in metallic glasses in the low-temperature realm exhibits a remarkable mechanistic universality, where the nucleation of STs occurs in a substantially frozen structure, the steep decrease in the temperature dependence of the yield stress and the stress exponent m of the plastic strain rate above 0.62rg signifies the onset of a fundamental change in the mechanism. Thus, the universal response at low temperature, with the slow decrease of plastic resistance with temperature, extrapolating to a vanishing level at a universal temperature of...

Although the millivolt function of a pH meter is mostly used with electrodes other than pH glass electrodes, it is an integral part of the meter and should be discussed briefly. The major difference between the pH and millivolt functions is the temperature compensator. It is active in the pH function and inactive in the millivolt function. All potentimetric electrodes follow the Nemst relationship, and the slope varies with the number of electrons (n) involved in the reaction. In the pH function, the temperature compensator incorporates an "/i value of one. Since other electrodes or reactions may involve other /i values, it becomes difficult to make a universal temperature compensator. Thus the millivolt function is not affected by this control, although the electrodes and the sample are affected by temperature as with pH measurements. Therefore, when stating a millivolt value, it is stated as millivolt versus the reference electrode at a specific temperature.
