Thermodynamic modeling of the Fe-S system

Abstract: A thorough review and critical evaluation of phase equilibria and thermodynamic data for all phases in the iron-sulfur (Fe-S) binary system at 1 bar pressure has been made over the entire composition range for temperatures from 25 °C to above the liquidus. The Gibbs energies of ten phases have been modeled, and optimized model parameters have been obtained that reproduce all data simultaneously within experimental error limits. For the liquid phase, the recently extended modified quasi-chemical model is applied for the first time to a liquid metal-sulfur phase. A two-sublattice model within the framework of the compound energy formalism is used for the high-temperature monosulfide pyrrhotite solution. A substitutional model is used for the dissolution of S in solid iron. The Gibbs energies of six stoichiometric compounds are also modeled.

Dye adsorption and desorption properties of Mentha pulegium in single and binary systems

Abstract: This article deals with the dye adsorption and desorption properties of Mentha pulegium (MP) from single and binary (mixture of dyes) systems. Direct Red 80 (DR80) and Acid Black 26 (AB26) were used as model dyes. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) was used to investigate the biosorbent characteristics. The effects of biosorbent dosage, contact time, dye concentration, salt, and pH on dye removal were studied. The biosorption isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamic were studied. In addition, dye desorption was carried out to study adsorbent recovery. The results showed that the isotherm data of single and binary systems of dyes followed the Langmuir isotherm. The adsorption kinetic of the dyes was found to conform to a pseudosecond order kinetic model. Desorption tests showed maximum dye releasing of 97% for DR80 and 95% for AB26 in single system and 92% for DR80 and 94% for AB26 in binary system of dyes at pH 12. The thermodynamic data showed that the biosorption process is spontaneous, endothermic, and a physisorption reaction. It can be concluded that MP is an ecofriendly biosorbent to remove dyes from single and binary systems. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011

Density, Excess Molar Volume, and Viscosity for the Methyl Methacrylate + 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium Hexafluorophosphate Ionic Liquid Binary System at Atmospheric Pressure

Abstract: Densities and viscosities for the methyl methacrylate (MMA) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM][PF6]) ionic liquid binary system, over the whole concentration range in the temperature range from (283.15 to 353.15) K, were measured by using an Anton Paar DMA 5000 densimeter and an Anton Paar AMVn Measuring Assembly, respectively. The excess molar volumes VE were calculated by using the measured experimental densities and correlated by the Redlich−Kister type equation. The correlation results are in good agreement with the experimental data, and optimal fitting parameters are present. All the VE values within the scope of research are negative and become more and more negative with increasing temperature.

Binary stellar mergers with marginally bound ejecta: excretion discs, inflated envelopes, outflows, and their luminous transients

Abstract: We study mass loss from the outer Lagrange point (L2) in binary stellar mergers and their luminous transients by means of radiative hydrodynamical simulations. Previously, we showed that for binary mass ratios 0.06 0.15. By contrast, for cold L2 mass-loss (\epsilon 0.8, the equatorial outflow instead remains marginally-bound and falls back to the binary over tens to hundreds of binary orbits, where it experiences additional tidal torqueing and shocking. As the bound gas becomes virialized with the binary, the luminosity of the system increases slowly at approximately constant photosphere radius, causing the temperature to rise. Subsequent evolution depends on the efficiency of radiative cooling. If the bound atmosphere is able to cool efficiently, as quantified by radiative diffusion time being shorter than the advection time (t_diff/t_adv 1 an isotropic wind is formed. Between these two extremes, an inflated envelope transports the heat generated near the binary to the surface by meridional flows. In all cases, the radiated luminosity reaches a fraction ~0.01 to 0.1 of Mdot v_orb^2/2, where Mdot is the mass outflow rate. We discuss the implications of our results for transients in the luminosity gap between classical novae and supernovae, such as V1309 Sco and V838 Mon.

The evolutionary status of 4U 1820-30

Abstract: The evolution of an ultracompact binary wherein mass transfer is driven by the emission of gravitational radiation is calculated, emphasizing the systematic study of how the rate of change in orbital period depends on the various system parameters. Analytic scaling laws are derived describing how the mass of the secondary, the mass transfer rate, and the rate of change of period depend on the binary system parameters, and these simple relations are applied to the 4U 1820-30 system. Detailed numerical evolutionary calculations are performed utilizing Zapolsky-Salpeter (1969) models for cold stars, but allowing for the possibility that the secondary has not yet reached a completely degenerate configuration. The results are used to set significant constraints on the deviation from a completely degenerate configuration of the secondary, the systemic mass-loss parameters, and the mass of the neutron star in the 4U 1820-30 system.
