The analysis of the experimental data for the specific heat Cp at various temperatures is given here near the nematic-isotropic liquid (TNI = 133.9 degrees C) and the solid-nematic (TSN = 117.6 degrees C) transitions in p-azoxyanisole (PAA). The analysis of the specific heat Cp is performed according to a simple power-law formula and a renormalisation-group expression. The values of the critical exponent are extracted above and below the transition temperatures of TNI and TSN for this liquid crystalline material. Our exponent values are compared with the predictions of a three-dimensional Ising model and XY model for liquid crystals. Using the specific heat Cp, the temperature dependence of the enthalpy H and the entropy S is calculated in the nematic phase (T TSN) of p-azoxyanisole.

Calculation of the compressibility and heat capacity of ice I in the pre-melting region Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) The isothermal compressibility and the heat capacity are calculated here using the experimental data for the heat expansion of ice I in the pre-melting region. By analysing the data at various pressures, compressibility and the heat capacity are predicted as functions of temperature and pressure near the melting point (p(m) 202.4 MPa, T-m 252.3 K) in ice I. Our predicted compressibility and heat capacity exhibit anomalous behaviour as the heat expansion in the pre-melting region of ice I.
Calculation of the C-P-C-V as a function of temperature close to the melting point in benzene Tari, O.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Informa UK Limited, 2018-01-01) The temperature dependence of the C-P - C-V is calculated at constant pressures using the observed volume data from the literature for solid and liquid benzene near the melting point. Our calculated values are compared with some earlier treatments and we find that they disagree at constant pressures for the solid benzene, whereas for the liquid benzene agreement is reasonable in terms of the order of magnitude between our calculated C-P - C-V and those predicted from the Peng-Robinson equation of state. Our...
Temperature dependence of the specific heat of anisaldazine close to phase transitions Kilit, E.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Elsevier BV, 2008-04-15) The experimental data for the specific heat C-p is analyzed at various temperatures close to the nematic-isotropic liquid (T-NI = 180.5 degrees C) and the solid-nematic (T-SN = 168.9 degrees C) transitions in anisaldazine.
Calculation of the Specific Heat Close to Phase Transition in S-triazine KURT, MUSTAFA; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2009-01-01) The specific heat C-V as a function of temperature has been calculated using the quasi-harmonic and mean field approximation for s-triazine close to the transition temperature (T-C=198 K). Using the parameters for the shear strain angle (order parameter) fitted to the observed Raman frequencies of the four bands, the specific heat C-V is calculated from the free energy of s-triazine.
Analysis of the Raman Frequency Shifts for the Lattice Modes and Vibrons Related to the Thermodynamic Quantities in the eta Phase of Solid Nitrogen Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2013-08-01) The thermodynamic quantities of the isothermal compressibility, thermal expansion and the specific heat are calculated here as a function of pressure by using the observed Raman frequencies of the lattice modes and vibrons in the. phase of solid nitrogen. The Pippard relations and their spectroscopic modifications are constructed, and the slope dP/dT is deduced from the Raman frequency shifts in this phase of N-2. It is shown that the thermodynamic quantities can be predicted from the Raman frequency shifts...
