Chiral Phase Transitions in QCD at Finite Temperature: Hard-Thermal-Loop Resummed Dyson-Schwinger Equation in the Real Time Formalism

Chiral phase transition in thermal QCD is studied by using the Dyson-Schwinger (DS) equation in the real time hard thermal loop approximation. Our results on the critical temperature and the critical coupling are significantly different from those in the preceding analyses in the ladder DS equation, showing the importance of properly taking into account the essential thermal effects, namely the Landau damping and the unstable nature of thermal quasiparticles.Comment: 4 pages including 2 figures (ps file), to appear in the proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Physics and Astrophysics of Quark-Gluon Plasma (ICPAQGP-2001), 26-30 November 2001, Jaipur, Indi

Evaluation of reference exergies for the elements

In this paper emphasis is placed on the exergy flow analysis based on the second law of thermodynamics. A new thermodynamic function, [`]reference exergy,' is proposed, and it is shown that the reference exergy of a compound is calculated from the reference exergies of elements with the aid of the Gibbs energy of formation of the compound. Then, a systematic method for the evaluation of reference exergies of elements is introduced and the results for elements and representative inorganic--as well as organic--compounds are tabulated.
