研究目的

To analyze the thermodynamic behavior of a mixture of ethanol and anthocyanins under monochromatic laser irradiation, focusing on the stable, metastable, and unstable states as defined by Landau and Lifschitz, and to propose a modified van der Waals equation of state to understand the discontinuous absorption of the laser beam.

研究成果

The study successfully proposes a thermodynamic cycle to understand the experimental data of a mixture of ethanol and anthocyanins under laser irradiation. A modified van der Waals equation of state is introduced to account for the system's behavior far from the critical state. The findings suggest that slight changes in the experimental setup could enable the measurement of thermodynamic properties in metastable states.

研究不足

The study is limited by the assumption that the thermodynamic properties of doped ethanol are well described by those of pure ethanol, possibly due to a very low concentration of the pigment. Additionally, the classical approximation of focusing the laser beam on a point rather than a disc may not fully capture the experimental conditions.
