Freeenergy perturbation FEP theory is a method based on statistical mechanics that is used in computational chemistry for computing Thermodynamicfreeenergyfreeenergy differences from molecular dynamics or Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations. The FEP method was introduced by R. W. Zwanzig in 1954. ref Zwanzig, R. W. J. Chem. Phys. 1954, 22, 1420 1426. doi 10.1063 1.1740409 ref According to freeenergy perturbation theory, the freeenergy difference for going from state A to state B is obtained from the following equation, known as the Zwanzig equation math Delta G A rightarrow B G B G A k B T ln left langle exp left frac E B E A k B T right right rangle A math where T is the temperature , k sub B sub is Boltzmann s constant , and the triangular brackets denote an average over a simulation run for state A . In practice, one runs a normal simulation for state A , but each time a new configuration is accepted, the energy for state B is also computed. The difference between states A and B may be in the atom types involved, in which case the G obtained is for mutating one molecule onto another, or it may be a difference of geometry, in which case one obtains a freeenergy map along one or more reaction coordinate s. This freeenergy map is also known as a potential of mean force or PMF.

In physical organic chemistry , a freeenergy relationship or linear Gibbs energy relation relates the logarithm of a reaction rate constant or equilibrium constant for one series of reactions with the logarithm of the rate or equilibrium constant for a related series of reactions. Establishing freeenergy relationships helps in the understanding of the reaction mechanism for a chemical reaction and allows the prediction of reaction rates and equilibrium constants. The Br nsted catalysis equation describes the relationship between the ionization constant of a series of catalysts and the reaction rate constant for a reaction on which the catalyst operates. The Hammett equation predicts the equilibrium constant or reaction rate of a reaction from a substituent constant and a reaction type constant . The Edwards equation relates the nucleophilic power to polarisability and basicity . It has been suggested citation needed date February 2012 that this name should be replaced by linear Gibbs energy relation, but at present there is little sign of acceptance of this change. The area of physical organic chemistry which deals with such relations is commonly referred to as Linear FreeEnergy Relationships . For example, a typical LFER relation for predicting solubility can be defined as follows log SP eE sS aA bB lL c where SP is some Gibbs freeenergyfreeenergy related property, such as an adsorption or absorption constant. The lower case letters e, s, a, b, l are system constants describing the contribution of the aerosol phase to the sorption process.

Unreferenced date December 2009 In thermodynamics , particularly statistical mechanics , the thermodynamic limit is reached as the number of particles atom s or molecule s in a system, N , approaches infinity. The thermodynamic behavior of a system is asymptotically approximated by the results of statistical mechanics as N tends to infinity, and calculations using the various ensembles used in statistical mechanics converge. The mathematical basis of this result comes from manipulating factorial s arising from Ludwig Boltzmann Boltzmann s formula for the entropy , S k log W by using Stirling s approximation , which is justified only when applied to large numbers. Empirically, the relative size of fluctuations from the average is much bigger from collections of only a few atoms or molecules, and so the probabilistic assumptions of statistical mechanics break down.

Consider two systems, 1 and 2, in thermal contact, with respective energies E sub 1 sub and E sub 2 sub . We assume E sub 1 sub E sub 2 sub some constant E . The number of Microstate statistical mechanics microstates of each system will be denoted by sub 1 sub and sub 2 sub . Under our assumptions sub i sub depends only on E sub i sub . Thus the number of microstates for the combined system is math Omega Omega 1 E 1 Omega 2 E 2 Omega 1 E 1 Omega 2 E E 1 . , math We will derive from the following fundamental assumption When the combined system reaches equilibrium, the number &Omega is maximized. In other words, the system naturally seeks the maximum number of microstates.

Thermodynamics cTopic Thermodynamic system Systems A thermodynamic state is a set of values of properties of a Thermodynamics thermodynamicThermodynamic system system that must be specified to reproduce the system. The individual parameters are known as state variables , state parameters or thermodynamic variables . Once a sufficient set of thermodynamic variables have been specified, values of all other properties of the system are uniquely determined. The number of values required to specify the state depends on the system, and is not always known. State functions Main State function State functions , also called thermodynamic variables , state quantities , or a functions of state describe the momentary condition of a thermodynamic system. Regardless of the path by which a system goes from one state to another i.e., the sequence of intermediate states the total change in any state variable will be the same. This means that the incremental changes in such variables are exact differential s . Examples include entropy , pressure , Thermodynamic temperature temperature , Gas volume volume , etc. Various thermodynamic diagram s have been developed to model the transitions between thermodynamic states. Equilibrium state Systems found in nature are often dynamic and complex, but in many cases their states are amenable to description based on proximity to ideal conditions. One such ideal condition is that of a stable equilibrium state. Based on many observations, thermodynamics postulates that all systems having no effect on the external environment will change in such a way as to approach unique stable equilibrium states. Closed simple system A common example in which the state can be succinctly described is a closed simple system in an equilibrium state. A closed simple system is an ideal system devoid of any internal adiabatic , rigid , or Permeation impermeable boundaries ... stato fa it Stato termodinamico pl Stan termodynamiczny simple Thermodynamic ... more details

HTML articles article catching energy from the sun title Catching Energy From the Sun publisher thenakedscientists.com accessdate 2011 07 22 work ref Effect of band gap energy Solar cells operate as quantum energy conversion device s, and are therefore subject to the thermodynamic efficiency limit. Photons with an energy below the band gap of the absorber material cannot generate a electron hole pair , and so their energy is not converted to useful output and only generates heat if absorbed. For photons with an energy above the band gap energy, only a fraction of the energy above the band gap can be converted to useful output. When a photon of greater energy is absorbed, the excess energy above the band gap is converted to kinetic energy of the carrier recombination . The excess kinetic energy is converted to heat through phonon interactions as the kinetic energy of the carriers slows to equilibrium velocity. Hence, the solar energy cannot be converted to electricity beyond ... the solar spectrum into smaller bins where the thermodynamic efficiency limit is higher for each bin. ref Cite journal title Limiting efficiencies for multiple energy gap quantum devices author ... year 1983 ref Efficiency limits for different solar cell technologies Thermodynamic efficiency limits ... http gcep.stanford.edu pdfs assessments solar assessment.pdf title An Assessment of Solar Energy Conversion ... work ref Thermodynamic efficiency limit for excitonic solar cells File ShockleyQueisserFullCurve.svg ... by multijunction solar cell s.
