More Than You Ever Cared to Know About Solution Thermodynamics

These readings are a compendium of earlier works put together and corrected for errors. The subject is solution thermodynamics, based on the one dimensional binary solution as "extended" to three dimensions.

Line Integrals and Work in Thermodynamics

This paper considers line integration in the context of elementary thermodynamics, ending with irreversible to reversible work integrations (employing, in part, L'Hopital's rule).

This is a set of P, Chem. problems posed at a slightly higher level than the normal textbook level, for students who are continuing in the study of this subject.

Integrated Data Sets of the EU FP5 Research Project ORFOIS: Origin and fate of biogenic particle fluxes in the ocean and their interactions with atmospheric CO2 concentrations as well as the marine sediment

For a reliable simulation of the time and space dependent CO2 redistribution between ocean and atmosphere an appropriate time dependent simulation of particle dynamics processes is essential but has not been carried out so far. The major difficulties were the lack of suitable modules for particle dynamics and early diagenesis (in order to close the carbon and nutrient budget) in ocean general circulation models, and the lack of an understanding of biogeochemical processes, such as the partial dissolution of calcareous particles in oversaturated water. The main target of ORFOIS was to fill in this gap in our knowledge and prediction capability infrastructure. This goal has been achieved step by step. At first comprehensive data bases (already existing data) of observations of relevance for the three major types of biogenic particles, organic carbon (POC), calcium carbonate (CaCO3), and biogenic silica (BSi or opal), as well as for refractory particles of terrestrial origin were collated and made publicly available.
