We revisit Koehler's experiment, a clever modification of Ruchardt's experiment designed to measure the ratio of specific heats of gas. However, the lengthy and dense analysis shared by Koehler in his 1950 paper may pose challenges to…
The aim of this work is to study heat pump cycles, using CO 2 based mixtures as working fluids. Since adding other chemicals to CO 2 moves the critical point and generally equilibrium lines, it is expected that lower operating pressures as…
The turn-over frequency of the catalytic oxidation of CO at RuO2(110) was calculated as function of temperature and partial pressures using ab initio statistical mechanics. The underlying energetics of the gas-phase molecules, dissociation,…

We investigate the Hall effect in two different theoretical models of strongly correlated systems: a system made of weakly coupled Luttinger liquids, in the presence of umklapp scattering, and the 2D triangular lattice, with…
The CO2 gas transfer velocity (KCO2) at air-water interface in a wind-wave flume was estimated at the circumstance of wave breaking. Three types of dynamic processes in the flume were created: monochromatic waves generated by wavemaker,…
Thermodynamic parameters such as temperature and pressure can be defined from the statistical behavior of a system. Therefore, thermal fluctuation is an inseparable characteristic of these parameters which eventually finds its way into…

The empirical law of Gladstone-Dale is insufficient for high-precision studies using the refractivity of a gas: this is not exactly proportional to its density, and the gas may not be properly described as perfect. An optical Mariotte…
