Logic And The Second Law Of Thermodynamics, David Van Den Einde Jan 1996

Logic And The Second Law Of Thermodynamics, David Van Den Einde

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

This paper presents a 2T thermodynamic cycle operating around the critical locus of ethylene. The cycle converts heat energy to work at a rate greater than the Carnot cycle. This energy conversion rate challenges the use of Carnot's thermodynamic efficiency as a foundation for the second Jaw of thermodynamics. The paper discusses the historical development of classical theory and the second law's foundation in logic.


Wave Profile For Proforce Current Bearing Waves, Mostafa Hemmati, Steven Young Jan 1996

Wave Profile For Proforce Current Bearing Waves, Mostafa Hemmati, Steven Young

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

A complete wave profile for proforce style of breakdown waves with a current behind the shock front is discussed. The solution of the electron fluid dynamical equations in the sheath region for proforce current bearing waves conforms with the expected conditins for the values of the dynamical variables at the trailing edge of the wave. The wave profile for electric field and electron velocity, temperature, and number density are presented.


Measuring Strangeness Production From Relativisitic Collisions Between Pairs Of Nuclei Using A Vertex Time Projection Chamber, Christine A. Byrd, Wilfred J. Braithwaite Jan 1996

Measuring Strangeness Production From Relativisitic Collisions Between Pairs Of Nuclei Using A Vertex Time Projection Chamber, Christine A. Byrd, Wilfred J. Braithwaite

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

At collider energies of 200A-GeV, tracking of charged particle pairs originating from neutrals is dominated by singlystrange KJ.' decays. Counting the number ofsecondary vertex pairs is a method of measuring the strangeness production. The VTX is a four-layer micro-strip gas time projection chamber being designed for use with the STAR instrument in an experiment using the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Simulated pixel data generated from CERN's Monte Carlo detector-modeling program Geant were put into tables using the TAS sorting structures available from the STAR Collaboration. The response of VTX was mapped for charged pion …
