Pressure effect on the melting temperature
Jozsef Garai, Jiuhua Chen
Pressure-melting temperature relationship is proposed and tested against the experiments of metals (Pt and Al), salt (NaCl), and ceramic (MgO) with positive results. The equation c…
The melting curve of Sodium: a theoretical approach
Jozsef Garai
New model describing the pressure effect on the melting temperature is proposed by using four assumptions. One, the average wavelength of the phonon vibration at the Debye temperat…
The First Law of Thermodynamics and the Thermodynamic Description of Elastic Solids
Jozsef Garai
Historically, the thermodynamic behavior of gasses was described first and the derived equations were adapted to solids. It is suggested that the current thermodynamic description…
Physics behind the Debye temperature
Jozsef Garai
Textbooks introduce the Debye temperature to simplify the integration of the heat capacity. This approach gives the impression that the Debye temperature is a parameter which makes…
Physical model for vaporization
Jozsef Garai
Based on two assumptions, the surface layer is flexible, and the internal energy of the latent heat of vaporization is completely utilized by the atoms for overcoming on the surfac…
Heat capacities of elastic solids
Jozsef Garai
The work function is embedded in the equation describing the relationship between the constant volume and constant pressure heat capacities. The modification of the work function r…
