Athermal Excess Entropy for Mixtures of Molecules with Every Size and Shape

Explore the theoretical foundations of athermal excess entropy in molecular mixtures through this 51-minute virtual seminar presented by Prof. J. Richard Elliot from the University of Akron. Delve into the thermodynamic principles governing how molecules of varying sizes and shapes interact in mixture systems, focusing specifically on the entropy contributions that arise independent of thermal effects. Examine the mathematical frameworks and theoretical models used to predict and understand the behavior of complex molecular mixtures, with applications spanning from simple binary systems to multi-component solutions containing molecules with diverse geometric properties. Gain insights into how molecular size and shape parameters influence the excess entropy calculations and their implications for mixture thermodynamics and phase behavior predictions.
