The Evolution of Multicomponent Systems at High Pressures: II. The Alder-Wainwright, High-Density, Gas-Solid Phase Transition of the Hard-Sphere Fluid
J. F. Kenney
The thermodynamic stability of the hard-sphere gas has been examined, using the formalism of scaled particle theory [SPT], and by applying explicitly the conditions of stability re…
The Evolution of Multicomponent Systems at High Pressures: IV. The Genesis of Optical Activity in High-density, Abiotic Fluids
J. F. Kenney, Ulrich K. Deiters
A thermodynamic argument has been developed which relates the chirality of the constituents of a mixture of enantiomers to the system excess volume, and thereby to its Gibbs free e…
The Evolution of Multicomponent Systems at High Pressures: VI. The Thermodynamic Stability of the Hydrogen-Carbon System: The Genesis of Hydrocarbons and the Origin of Petroleum
J. F. Kenney, Vladimir G. Kutcherov, Nikolai A. Bendeliani +1
The spontaneous genesis of hydrocarbons which comprise natural petroleum have been analyzed by chemical thermodynamic stability theory. The constraints imposed upon chemical evolut…
Development of a general equation of state for real molecules in arbitrary regimes of temperature and pressure: I. The hard-core reference system
J. F. Kenney, Richard J. Petti
A general equation of state for the hard-body reference system of real fluid has been developed from first principles, statistical mechanical arguments using metric differential ge…
The microcanonical thermodynamics of finite systems: The microscopic origin of condensation and phase separations; and the conditions for heat flow from lower to higher temperatures
D. H. E. Gross, J. F. Kenney
Microcanonical thermodynamics allows the application of statistical mechanics both to finite and even small systems and also to the largest, self-gravitating ones. However, one mus…
