One Component System

One Component System For pure substances C = 1 so that F = 3 – P. In a single phase (P = 1) condition of a pure component system, two variables (F = 2), such as temperature and pressure, can be chosen independently to be any pair of values consistent with the phase....

Basic MIPS Instructions

  Basic MIPS Instructions These are the assembly language statements covered in these notes that each directly correspond to one machine language instruction. There are additional basic assembly language statements that are not covered in these notes. When...

Gibbs Helmholtz equation

Gibbs Helmholtz equation Recall that the combined first and second laws give the relationship                 (1) This implies that U is a function of S and V. Sometimes we call S and V the “natural variables” of U. Regarding U = U(S,V) we can write...

Uniprocessors to multiprocessors

Uniprocessors to multiprocessors Uniprocessor standard architecture systems with well cached CPUs do not usually saturate the bus and do not use pipeline mode as frequently. For this reason, the pipelining capability of the P6 bus and of Rambus do not have a very...

Gibbs free energy

Gibbs free energy In thermodynamics, the Gibbs free energy (IUPAC recommended name:Gibbs energy or Gibbs function; also known as free enthalpy[1] to distinguish it from Helmholtz free energy) is a thermodynamic potential that measures the “usefulness” or...

Helmholtz free energy

Helmholtz free energy In thermodynamics, the Helmholtz free energy is a thermodynamic potentialthat measures the “useful” work obtainable from a closed thermodynamic system at a constant temperature. The negative of the difference in the Helmholtz energy is equal to...
