On account of the high accuracy with which spectroscopic data are obtained, thermodynamic parameters estimated from these data are more reliable than those obtained by direct thermal measurements. Spectroscopic data of aluminum based diatomic gas molecules (AlO, AlH, AlD, AlF, AlC) and partition function theory have been used to evaluate the thermodynamical parameters in the temperature range 100 -3000 0 K. Equilibrium constants for astrophysically important chemical process have been calculated using partition function theory. It is noticed that for AlC the heat capacity decreases exponentially after the critical temperature 1200 0 K.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
