Thermal rearrangements of Berson TMMs have been investigated. For this purpose, the potential energy surface of the singlet S state has been explored to test Benson’s Schemes 1-2 (Figure 1.10 and 1.11). It is verified that the enyne 9c plays a central role in connecting the two portions of the reaction path (Berson Schemes 1 and 2). Connectivity of successive minima on a given surface has been verified by intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) computations. Density functional theory (DFT) and multiconfiguration self consistent field (MCSCF) methods have been employed for these purposes. Further, single point coupled-cluster singles and doubles with perturbative triples (CCSD(T)) energy computations have been carried out at optimized DFT or MCSCF geometries. All transition states (TS) connecting each neighboring minimum have been located in the proposed mechanisms. It is concluded that the proposed mechanisms are confirmed by the theoretical calculations. The computed activation energy and enthalpy of reaction values are in good agreement with the available experimental values, only differing by a few kcal mol-1.

Mathematical modeling of thermal decomposition of coal Guruz, GA; Uctepe, U; Durusoy, T (Elsevier BV, 2004-06-01) Pyrolysis, as a first step in all thermochemical coal conversion processes, has been investigated in detail over the years in order to evaluate the kinetic data and to establish reliable models for the complex reaction scheme. Since coal pyrolysis is not a single reaction but rather a multiplicity in different time intervals for isothermal pyrolysis, or in different time and temperature intervals for the case of heat-up, any set of parameters cannot be expected to represent data accurately over a wide range...
Kinetic analysis of DSC and thermogravimetric data on combustion of lignite Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1996-06-01) Thermal analysis increasingly being used to obtain kinetic data relating to sample decomposition. This work involves a comparative study of several methods used to analyse DSC and TG/DTG data obtained on the oxidation of Beypazari lignite. A general computer program was developed and the methods are compared with regard to their accuracy and the ease of interpretation of the kinetics of thermal decomposition. For this study, the ratio method was regarded as the preferred method, because it permits the estim...
Comparison of Fenitrothion and Trifluralin Adsorption on Organo-Zeolites and Activated Carbon. Part II: Thermodynamic Parameters and the Suitability of the Kinetic Models of Pesticide Adsorption LÜLE ŞENÖZ, Güzide Meltem; Atalay, Mustafa Ümit (Informa UK Limited, 2014-07-04) The suitability of two kinetic models and the thermodynamic parameters of pesticide adsorption were investigated based on obtained data of previous studies. Kinetic evaluation indicated that the pesticides adsorption on adsorbents followed the pseudo-second-order model. Gibbs free energy (Delta G degrees), enthalpy (Delta H degrees), and entropy (Delta S degrees) were calculated for thermodynamic parameters by using linearized Arrhenius equation. The results indicated that the sorption process of fenitrothi...
Critical behaviour of the specific heat and the thermal expansion close to the melting point in ammonia solid III Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Periodica Polytechnica Budapest University of Technology and Economics, 2009-01-01) A linear correlation between the specific heat C(P) and the thermal expansion alpha(p) is established here for constant temperatures close to the melting pressure in ammonia solid III. For this correlation, the experimental data for the isothermal compressibility kappa(T) is analysed according to a power-law formula with the critical exponent gamma and, the C(P) and alpha(p) are calculated as a function of pressure near the melting point in ammonia solid III.
AXIAL DISPERSION OF LIQUID IN MOBILE-BED CONTACTING Uysal, B.Z; Özilgen, M. (Informa UK Limited, 1989-7) Axial dispersion of liquid in Mobile-Bed Contacting (MBC) was investigated employing transient-response technique with impulse input of NaCI tracer. Experiments were performed in a 0.195 m ID column. Three different packing diameters (15, 19.5 and 32 mm) and three different static bed heights (0.1, 0.195 and 0.3 m) were used. Gas flow rate was varied between 3.02 and 4.05 kg/m2/s and liquid flow rate from 2.4 to 10.4 kg/m2/s. Transfer function analysis of data yielded that Peclet number was practically ind...
