Thermodynamics and kinetics of binary nucleation in ideal-gas mixtures.
The nonisothermal single-component theory of droplet nucleation [N. V. Alekseechkin, Physica A 412, 186 (2014)] is extended to binary case; the droplet volume V, composition x, and temperature T are the variables of the theory. An approach based on macroscopic kinetics (in contrast to the standard microscopic model of nucleation operating with the probabilities of monomer attachment and detachm...
متن کاملDynamics of fluid mixtures in nanospaces.
A multicomponent extension of our recent theory of simple fluids [U. M. B. Marconi and S. Melchionna, J. Chem. Phys. 131, 014105 (2009)] is proposed to describe miscible and immiscible liquid mixtures under inhomogeneous, nonsteady conditions typical of confined fluid flows. We first derive from a microscopic level the evolution equations of the phase space distribution function of each compone...
متن کاملLimits to flight energetics of hummingbirds hovering in hypodense and hypoxic gas mixtures.
Hovering hummingbirds offer a model locomotor system for which analyses of both metabolism and flight mechanics are experimentally tractable. Because hummingbirds exhibit the highest mass-specific metabolic rates among vertebrates, maximum performance of hovering flight represents the upper limit of aerobic locomotion in vertebrates. This study evaluates the potential constraints of flight mech...
متن کاملDynamics of a Massive Piston in an Ideal Gas
We study a dynamical system consisting of a massive piston in a cubical container of large size L filled with an ideal gas. The piston has mass M ∼ L2 and undergoes elastic collisions with N ∼ L3 non-interacting gas particles of mass m = 1. We find that, under suitable initial conditions, there is, in the limit L → ∞, a scaling regime with time and space scaled by L, in which the motion of the ...
متن کاملSurface-directed spinodal decomposition and enrichment in fluid mixtures: Molecular dynamics simulations Kinetics of fluid mixtures at surfaces
We present results from molecular dynamics simulations for the non-equilibrium evolution of a binary fluid in the presence of a wetting surface. We study the pattern dynamics which results when a homogeneous fluid mixture is quenched to temperatures both above and below the critical temperature. Our extensive computer simulation results are in agreement with arguments based on Ginzburg-Landau t...
