The aim of this work is to demonstrate the capability of an original “modular” simulator tool for the thermoeconomic analysis of thermal-energy systems. The approach employed is based on the Thermoeconomic Functional Analysis (T.F.A.), which, through definition of the “functional productive diagram” and the establishment of the capital cost function of each component, allows the marginal costs and the unit product costs, i.e., the “internal economy,” of the functional exergy flows to be obtained in correspondence to the optimum point. The optimum design of the system is obtained utilizing a traditional optimization technique, which includes both physical structure of the energy system described in terms of thermodynamic variables and cost model (capital cost of the components, maintenance and amortization factors, unit fuel cost, unit electricity cost, etc.). As an application example to show the practicability of the tool, the thermoeconomic analysis of various complex multipressure combined cycles (with or without steam reheating) is carried out. The results are analyzed and discussed in depth.

The present study characterizes using molecular dynamics simulations the behavior of the GAA (1186-1188) hairpin triloops with their closing c-g base pairs in large ribonucleoligand complexes (PDB IDs: 1njn, 1nwy, 1jzx). The relative energies of the motifs in the complexes with respect to that in the reference structure (unbound form of rRNA; PDB ID: 1njp) display the trends that agree with those of the conformational parameters reported in a previous study1 utilizing the de novo pseudotorsional (?,?) approach. The RNA regions around the actual RNA-ligand contacts, which experience the most substantial conformational changes upon formation of the complexes were identified. The thermodynamic parameters, based on a two-state conformational model of RNA sequences containing 15, 21 and 27 nucleotides in the immediate vicinity of the particular binding sites, were evaluated. From a more structural standpoint, the strain of a triloop, being far from the specific contacts and interacting primarily with other parts of the ribosome, was established as a structural feature which conforms to the trend of the average values of the thermodynamic variables corresponding to the three motifs defined by the 15-, 21- and 27-nucleotide sequences. From a more functional standpoint, RNA-ligand recognition is suggested to be presumably dictated by the types of ligands in the complexes.

Congo red is a toxic azo dye which is used extensively in industries like textile, paper, pulp and paper. Very high amount of Congo red from these industrial sources is discharged into natural water bodies resulting environmental pollution. The present work reports the kinetics and mechanism of oxidative decomposition of Congo red by Fenton’s reagent in homogeneous medium and also under ultra violet light irradiation. Kinetic parameters like effect of [Fe2+], [H2O2], [Congo red] and temperature on the decomposition of Congo red were studied. The reaction is found to be fractional order with [Fe2+] and first order with [H2O2] and [Congo red]. The rate of oxidative decomposition of Congo red by Fenton’ reagent showed a rapid increase of three times when irradiated with ultra violet radiation and completion of reaction occurred within 5-6 minute. Various thermodynamic variables were determined and the presence of isosbestic points on sequential scanning of oxidation kinetics proves that the reaction is very smooth, spontaneous and endothermic. A suitable mechanism is suggested based on the experimental results obtained.

The system of conservation laws governing heat and mass transfer processes in a continuous medium is obtained in a symmetric form on the basis of the successive application of fundamental thermodynamic principles. This approach involves reformulating the problem in intensive thermodynamic variables such as the temperature and chemical potential. The equations of capillary fluid mechanics and phase transitions with moving free boundaries are analysed in detail. The unsteady motion of a drop driven by buoyancy forces in an unbounded ambient fluid with dilute surfactants is investigated where the LeChatelier principle is established for an arbitrary surfactant. The general procedure for construction of self-similar solutions for the thermodiffusive Stefan problem with piecewise constant matrices of coefficients is described

In this work, we consider extended irreversible thermodynamics in assuming that the entropy density is a function of both common thermodynamic variables and their higher-order time derivatives. An expression for entropy production, and the linear phenomenological equations describing diffusion and chemical reactions, are found in the context of this approach. Solutions of the sets of linear equations with respect to fluxes and their higher-order time derivatives allow the coefficients of diffusion and reaction rate constants to be established as functions of size of the nanosystems in which these reactions occur. The Maxwell-Cattaneo and Jeffreys constitutive equations, as well as the higher-order constitutive equations, which describe the processes in reaction-diffusion systems, are obtained.
