	Defining Worst Case Releases for the EPA's Risk Management Program - Quest Consultants Inc.
		The model is insensitive to release duration, release velocity and orientation, material phase, thermodynamics, and release area, as well as other variables.
		Using a more complex model, which will be designated as the "pipe break" model, release rates were determined by using the thermodynamic and physical properties of ammonia, storage pressure and temperature, and the release hole area.
		The fluid release rate is determined by the storage pressure and temperature, the hole size, and the physical and thermodynamic properties of the fluid.

	Thermodynamic Properties of Condensed Phases
		Current research includes studies of the thermodynamic properties of both pure materials and solutions, with an emphasis on determining heat capacities of pure materials, from near 3-4 K to 330 K, in order to obtain the molar entropy of the substance.
		Additional research areas include (1) the determination of solution properties for a wide range of temperatures and pressures, with a focus on the super-cooled region for aqueous solutions; (2) studies of high-temperature solution properties; and (3) correlation of the thermodynamic properties of pure substances and aqueous electrolyte solutions.
		Combining the determined entropy with the enthalpy of combustion with either fluorine or oxygen allows us to determine the Gibbs energy of formation of the material.

	Learn more about Thermochemistry in the online encyclopedia.
		When applied to chemistry, thermodynamics can be used to predict the extent to which material changes proceed, primary examples including chemical reactions (see also chemical equilibrium), phase changes such as boiling or melting, and the formation of solutions from separate components.
		In general, thermodynamics deals with the interconversion of various kinds of energy including heat and work, and the corresponding changes in physical properties.
		Thermochemistry is the application of thermodynamics to the field of chemistry.

	Physics Encyclopedia Article @ LaunchBase.org
		The properties of a chemical are determined by the properties of the underlying molecules, which can be described by areas of physics such as quantum mechanics (called in this case quantum chemistry), thermodynamics, and electromagnetism.
		Condensed matter physics, by most estimates the largest single field of physics, is concerned with how the properties of bulk matter, such as the ordinary solids and liquids we encounter in everyday life, arise from the properties and mutual interactions of the constituent atoms.
		Physics is sometimes said to be the "fundamental science", because each of the other natural sciences (biology, chemistry, geology, etc.) deals with particular types of material systems that obey the laws of physics.

	UB Reporter: Kofke recognized for research
		Since the stable phase is the one with the lowest "free energy," phase equilibrium research is concerned with calculating the free energy of a material.
		"Phase equilibrium underlies all the interesting and useful phenomena in nature," explained Kofke, "because the properties of a physical system depend first of all on the thermodynamic phase it is in."
		Such calculations are critical to numerous disciplines, ranging from the research and development of a new drug molecule or a new electronic material to the study of biological cells and the stable phases of their components, such as proteins.

	ON ECONOMIC AND OTHER UTILITIES
		The discussion will start from the utility function of economy, which possesses entropy-like properties, on which the so called economical thermodynamics is based.
		It seems as if thermodynamics of open systems would suggest that the entropy, specific entropy or entropy density of the environment would measure the degree of pollution.
		Zero entropy environment would be a zero-temperature world with all material components nicely separated and kept in compartments.

	Zero News Datapool, MANUEL DE LANDA, Uniformity and Variability
		But for materials scientists this commonality of behaviour is of direct practical significance since it means that as they begin to confront increasingly more complex material properties, they can make use of tools coming from nonlinear dynamics and nonequilibrium thermodynamics, tools that may have been developed to deal with completly different problems.
		Galileo studied the strenght of materials in the sixteen-century, and in the seventeenth while Newton was reducing the variability of material behaviour to questions of mass, his arch-enemy Robert Hooke was developing the first theory of elasticity.
		As materials scientist James Edward Gordon has remarked, "unlike Newton, Hooke was intensely interested in what went on in kitchens, dockyards, and buildings -the mundane mechanical arenas of life...Nor did Hooke despised craftmen, and he probably got the inspiration for at least some of his ideas from his friend the great London clockmaker Thomas Tompion...".

		To me the most troublesome course was thermodynamics, the material of which seemed 'dry' in the extreme, especially when droned out by J.R.P. more-or-less verbatim from his book.
		For eloquence, I think that Dr Alan Ferguson, of the Department of Physics, talking on the properties of matter, surpassed all others we heard as undergraduates; to Ferguson I owe my especial interest in 'additive properties' - an interest which has persisted for 60 or more years.

		Contrary to his argument, the historical record of the caloric theory reveals that beliefs about the properties of material caloric, rejected by subsequent theories, were indeed central to the successes of the caloric theory.
		The preserved elements of Carnot's theory, such as the anticipation of the second law of thermodynamics, were just those parts that were unrelated to the tenets of the caloric theory.
		Laplace's central premises were that the caloric fluid was made up of point-like particles of caloric, and that the caloric particles, most of which were contained within molecules of matter, repelled each other with a force that was a function of distance only.

	Amazon.com: Books: Equilibrium Thermodynamics
		Equilibrium thermodynamics (or thermostatics, as some call it) has manifold applications-in physics, chemistry, biology, geology, engineering, etc. The author is a physicist, and selects his material accordingly.
		The terms of reference for Equilibrium Thermodynamics are primarily those of the undergraduate physicist; but it is also suitable for courses in chemistry, engineering, materials science etc. The subject is usually taught in the first or second year of an undergraduate course, but the book takes the student to degree standard (and beyond).
		The zeroth law of thermodynamics is concerned with the properties of systems in thermal equilibrium, and the concept of temperature follows directly from it.
