Current statistical mechanics explains why the equipartition of energy principle is false. This law states that in a system of thermal equilibrium, an equal amount of energy is associated with each independent energy state. Using the equipartition of...

As mankind's knowledge of the nature of matter has increased, some of the old concepts about "heat" and "temperature" have changed. The atomic model of matter has atoms in a constant state of motion. The motion takes many forms. The atoms may be linked...

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit quantity of a substance one...

Specific heat capacity, also known simply as specific heat, is the measure of the heat energy required to increase the temperature of a unit quantity of a substance by a certain temperature interval. The term originated primarily through the work of...

Abstract Changes in melting points, enthalpy, and specific heat capacity of catfish visceral oil at each step of the purification process were studied. Melting points of -46.2 to 21.2 °C for crude oil, -45.9 to 11.5 °C for degummed oil, -44.3 to 11.4...

ABSTRACT We construct a Hamiltonian for a single domain protein where the contact enthalpy and the chain entropy decrease linearly with the number of native contacts. The hydration effect upon protein unfolding is included by modeling water as ideal dipoles that are ordered around...
