Different proportions of bio-oil (5, 10, 15, and 20 wt%) were added into aged asphalt for its regeneration. Molecular dynamic simulations were used to measure the thermal and mechanical performances of bio-oil regenerated aged asphalt (BRAA). A new, simplified BRAA model was built to calculate the specific heat capacity, thermal expansion coefficient, elastic constant, shear modulus, bulk modulus, and Young’s modulus. Simulation results showed that the thermal expansion coefficient (CTE α) of asphalt at 298 K decreased by 10% after aging. Bio-oil of 5 wt% could make the CTE α restore to the original level of base asphalt, while the addition of bio-oil would further decrease the specific heat capacity of aged asphalt. The shear modulus (G), Young’s modulus (K) and bulk modulus (E) of asphalt increased after aging and decreased with the increasing amount of bio-oil. According to the calculated E/G value, the ductility of aged asphalt increased by 6.0% with the addition of 10 wt% bio-oil, while over 15 wt% bio-oil would make the ductility of BRAA decrease. In summary, the regeneration effects of bio-oil to the thermal expansion coefficient, flexibility, and ductility of aged asphalt had been proven, while excessive bio-oil would decrease the thermal stability of asphalt.

By the moment method established previously on the basis of the statistical mechanics, the thermodynamic properties of a strongly anharmonic face-centered and body-centered cubic crystal with point defect are considered. The thermal expansion coefficient, the specific heat Cv and Cp, the isothermal and adiabatic compressibility, etc. are calculated. Our calculated results of the thermal expansion coefficient, the specific heat Cv and Cp… of W, Nb, Au and Ag metals at various temperatures agrees well with the measured values. The anharmonic effects in extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) in the single-shell model are considered. We have obtained a new formula for anharmonic contribution to the mean square relative displacement. The anharmonicity is proportional to the temperature and enters the phase change of EXAFS. Our calculated results of Debye–Waller factor and phase change in EXAFS of Cu at various temperatures agrees well with the measured values.

The linear thermal expansion coefficient a from 2 to 100 K and heat capacity per gram cp from 0�3 to 30 K are reported for fully-stabilized zirconia containing a nominal 16 wt.% (9 mol.%) of yttria. The heat capacity below 7 K has been analysed into a linear (tunnelling?) term, a Schottky term centred at 1�2 K, a Debye term (e~ = 540 K), and a small T5 contribution. The expansion coefficient is roughly proportional to T from 5 to 20 K and gives a limiting lattice Griineisen parameter 'Yo ::::: 5, which agrees with that calculated from elastic data.

A two-body interatomic potential function, including fractional atomic charges and a shell model for oxygen, and supplemented by an O—Al—O bond-angle energy term, was fitted to the structural, elastic and vibrational properties of \alpha-Al2O3, corundum, at ambient conditions. Full quasi-harmonic calculations were then carried out on a p,T grid of 54 points in the domain 0–40 GPa and 300–1700 K. The crystal structure was equilibrated at each point, taking into account the anisotropy of vibrational pressure and the thermal dependence of elastic constants, so as to obtain unit-cell edges, atomic coordinates, bulk modulus, thermal expansion coefficient and other thermodynamic properties. Polynomial approximations were developed to represent the p,T dependence of these quantities. Comparison with experimental results for the separate p (T = 300 K) and T (p = 0) behaviours shows very good agreement, with average deviations of 0.1% for the unit-cell volume and 6% for the thermal expansion coefficient. The coupled p,T dependence of the properties of corundum is predicted to be very small for the bulk modulus (\partial^2K_T/\partial p\partial T=8.4\times10^{-5} K−1), but not at all negligible for the volume [(1/V)\partial^2V/\partial p\partial T in the range −1.2 to −7.5 × 10−7 GPa−1 K−1 over the p,T domain explored].

Parts of thermal physical properties of Al-Si8-Cu2-Mg alloy were studied. The curves were plotted showing the relationship between density, specific heat capacity, coefficient of thermal expansion and the variation of temperature for the first time with this alloy. The results show that the density was decreased when the temperature was raised, but the specific heat capacity and the coefficient of thermal expansion were first increased and then decreased. The solidus-liquidus temperatures, latent heat of fusion were studied, and the results show that the melting temperature range of this alloy was 507-596°C.

AbstractThe vibrational and thermal properties of dolomite and alkali chlorates and perchlorates were studied in the gradient approximation of density functional theory using the method of a linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO). Long-wave vibration frequencies, IR and Raman spectra, and mode Gruneisen parameters were calculated. Equation-of-state parameters, thermodynamic potentials, entropy, heat capacity, and thermal expansion coefficient were also determined. The thermal expansion coefficient of dolomite was established to be much lower than for chlorates and perchlorates. The temperature dependence of the heat capacity at T > 200 K was shown to be generally governed by intramolecular vibrations.
