Quiescent X-ray luminosities are presented in low mass X-ray binaries with use of evolutionary calculations. The calculated luminosities are compared with observed ones in terms of timeaveraged mass accretion rate. It is shown that neutrino emission by strong pion condensation can explain quiescent X-ray luminosity of SAX J1808.4-3658 and we do not need direct Urca processes concerning nucleons and/or hyperons.
Abstract In this work, the density, viscosity, and specific heat capacity of pure 1‐dimethylamino‐2‐propanol (1DMA2P) as well as aqueous unloaded and CO 2 ‐loaded 1DMA2P solution (with a CO 2 loading of 0.04–0.70 mol CO 2 /mol amine) were measured over the 1DMA2P concentration range of 0.5–3.0 mol/L and temperature range of 293–323 K. The observed experimental results of these thermophysical properties of the 1DMA2P‐H 2 O‐CO 2 system were correlated using empirical models as well as artificial neural network (ANN) models (namely, back‐propagation neural network [BPNN] and radial basis function neural network [RBFNN] models). It was found that the developed BPNN and RBFNN models could predict the experimental results of 1DMA2P‐H 2 O‐CO 2 better than correlations using empirical models. The results could be treated as one of the accurate and potential methods to predict the physical properties for aqueous amine CO 2 absorption systems.
In this work, three promising tertiary amines—1-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperidine (1-(2-HE)PP), 3-(diethylamino)-1,2-propanediol (DEA-1,2-PD), and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyrolidine (1-(2-HE)PRLD)—were experimentally studied and the results presented in terms of pKa, the protonation calibration curves, and ion speciation plots. The pKa of these amines were determined in the temperature range of 294–320 K. The protonation calibration curves for the three amines were also developed based on 13C NMR detection. In addition, ion (amine, amineH+, HCO3–, and CO32–) speciation plots for the three tertiary amines were developed at the temperature of 298 K, at the amine concentration of 1.0 M, over the CO2 loading ranges of 0–0.897 mol CO2/mol amine for 1-(2-HE)PP, 0–0.915 mol CO2/mol amine for DEA-1,2-PD, and 0–0.927 mol CO2/mol amine for 1-(2-HE)PRLD by using the pH method, the 13C NMR method, and the pH + 13C NMR method. By comparing the ion (amine, amineH+, HCO3–, and CO32–) concentrations of the three tertiary amines obtained from these three methods, it can be concluded that each of these three methods could be used to develop the ion speciation plots of amine–CO2–H2O systems, but there are some significant differences between them.
