Modeling thermodynamic properties of propane or tetrahydrofuran mixed with carbon dioxide or methane in structure-II clathrate hydrates

A sound knowledge of thermodynamic properties of sII hydrates is of great importance to understand the stability of sII gas hydrates in petroleum pipelines and in natural settings. Here, we report direct molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the thermal expansion coefficient, the compressibility, and the specific heat capacity of C<sub>3<...

Thermal inductance in GaN devices

Using the analogue of the electric inductance, we reveal the properties of the thermal inductance in GaN-based light-emitting diode devices by testing their transient thermal behaviors. We find that the devices exhibit a transient thermal response under step-down or step-up currents and observe notable inductive phenomena of the temperature...
