Heat Capacity and Thermodynamic Property of Lithium Pentaborate Pentahydrate by Wanjing Cui, Long Li, Yafei Guo, Sisi Zhang, Tianlong Deng

“…The molar heat capacity of LiB5O8·5H2O can be expressed as Cp,m (J·mol−1·K−1) = 396.79376 + 35.87528 [T-(Tmax+Tmin)/2]/[(Tmax-Tmin)/2] + 0.16494[T-(Tmax+Tmin)/2]/[(Tmax-Tmin)/2]2 + 8.3083[T-(Tmax+Tmin)/2]/[(Tmax-Tmin)/2]3, where T is the temperature in Kelvin, Tmax=375 K, and Tmin=297 K. The thermodynamic functions of (HT-H298.15), (ST-S298.15), and (GT-G298.15) of LiB5O8·5H2O are obtained via the molar heat capacity at the temperature of 5 K intervals.…”

Simulation and analysis of marine hydrodynamics based on the El Niño scenario by M. Ikhwan, R. Wafdan, Y. Haditiar, M. Ramli, Z. Muchlisin, S. Rizal

“…FINDINGS: The results of the model simulation show that one month later (on the 37th day), the current from the west has approached the domain's east side, forming a complete coastal Kelvin wave. The shape of coastal Kelvin waves in the eastern area follows a trend that is similar to the OSCAR Sea Surface Velocity plot data obtained from ERDDAP in the Pacific Ocean in October 2015. …”

Direct Time Domain Numerical Analysis of Transient Behavior of a VLFS during Unsteady External Loads in Wave Condition by Yong Cheng, Gang-jun Zhai, Jin-ping Ou

“…The transient response of the VLFS subjected to arbitrary external load is systematically investigated by a direct time domain modal expansion method, in which the BEM solutions based on time domain Kelvin sources are used for hydrodynamic forces. In the analysis, the time domain free-surface Green functions with sufficient accuracy are rapidly evaluated in finite water depth by the interpolation-tabulation method, and the boundary integral equation with a quarter VLFS model is established taking advantage of symmetry of flow field and structure. …”
