Thermodynamic Properties of Gaseous Carbon Disulfide

Information theory and thermodynamic properties of diatomic molecules using molecular potential

Owing to the devise applications of molecules in industries, the bound state solution of the non-relativistic wave equation with a molecular potential function has been obtained in a closed-form using the Nikiforov-Uvarov method. The solutions of the bound state are then applied to study the information-theoretic measures such as the one-dimensional Shannon and Renyi entropic densities. The expectation values for the position and momentum spaces were obtained to verify the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Utilizing the energy spectrum equation, the thermodynamic vibrational partition function is obtained via the Poisson summation. Other thermodynamic function variations with absolute temperature have been obtained numerically for four diatomic molecules (H2, N2, O2, and HF) using Maple 18 software. The Shannon global entropic sum inequality has also been verified. The Renyi sum for constrained index parameters satisfies the global entropic inequality. The thermodynamic properties of the four molecules are similar and conform to works reported in the existing literature. The obtained vibrational energies are in fair agreement with the ones obtained using other forms of potential energy. The result further indicates that the lowest bounds for the Shannon, Renyi, and Heisenberg inequalities are ground states phenomena.
