6.1: The Nature of Energy and Types of Energy
Energy (E): - the ability to do work or produce heat.
Different Types of Energy:
1. Radiant Energy: - solar energy from the sun.
2. Thermal Energy: - energy associated with the random motion of atoms and molecules.
3. Chemical Energy: - sometimes refer to as Chemical Potential Energy. It is the energy stored in the
chemical bonds, and release during chemical change.
4. Potential Energy: - energy of an object due to its position.
First Law of Thermodynamics: - states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be
converted from one form to another. Therefore, energy in the universe is
a constant.
- also known as the Law of Conservation of Energy (ΣEinitial = ΣEfinal).
6.2: Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions
Heat (q): - the transfer of energy between two objects (internal versus surroundings) due to the difference
in temperature.
Work (w): - when force is applied over a displacement in the same direction (w = F × d).
- work performed can be equated to energy if no heat is produced (E = w). This is known as the
Work Energy Theorem.
System: - a part of the entire universe as defined by the problem.
Surrounding: - the part of the universe outside the defined system.
Open System: - a system where mass and energy can interchange freely with its surrounding.
Closed System: - a system where only energy can interchange freely with its surrounding but mass not
allowed to enter or escaped the system.
Isolated System: - a system mass and energy cannot interchange freely with its surrounding.

Exothermic Process (ΔE < 0): - when energy flows “out” of the system into the surrounding.
(Surrounding gets Warmer.)
Endothermic Process (ΔE > 0): - when energy flows into the system from the surrounding.
(Surrounding gets Colder.)
6.3: Introduction of Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics: - the study of the inter action of heat and other kinds of energy.
State of a System: - the values of all relevant macroscopic properties like composition, energy,
temperature, pressure and volume.
State Function: - also refer to as State Property of a system at its present conditions.
- energy is a state function because of its independence of pathway, whereas work and heat
are not state properties.
Pathway: - the specific conditions that dictates ...
Module 7 - Energy Balance chemical process calculationsbalaaguywithagang1
Chemical process calculations involve various computations and analyses to design, optimize, and understand chemical processes. Here are some descriptions highlighting different aspects of chemical process calculations:
Material Balances:
Material balances are the cornerstone of chemical process calculations, ensuring that the amounts of all components entering and leaving a system are properly accounted for.
These calculations involve tracking the flow rates and compositions of substances throughout a process, often using mass or mole balances.
Energy Balances:
Energy balances involve quantifying the energy inputs and outputs in a chemical process.
These calculations are crucial for understanding the heat transfer requirements, evaluating energy efficiency, and optimizing process conditions.
Reaction Kinetics:
Chemical reactions kinetics calculations focus on understanding the rates at which reactions occur and how they are influenced by various factors such as temperature, pressure, and catalysts.
These calculations help in determining the optimal reaction conditions and designing reactors for desired conversion rates.
Phase Equilibrium Calculations:
Phase equilibrium calculations deal with determining the distribution of components between different phases in a system, such as liquid-liquid or vapor-liquid equilibrium.
These calculations are essential for designing separation processes like distillation, extraction, and absorption.
Thermodynamic Calculations:
Thermodynamic calculations involve applying thermodynamic principles to predict the behavior of chemical systems.
These calculations include determining properties such as enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs free energy, and fugacity, which are crucial for process design and optimization.
Process Simulation:
Process simulation involves using computer software to model and simulate chemical processes.
These simulations allow engineers to predict process behavior under different operating conditions, optimize process parameters, and troubleshoot potential issues.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
