Thermodynamic approach to phase coexistence in ternary phospholipid-cholesterol mixtures.
We introduce a simple and predictive model for determining the phase stability of ternary phospholipid-cholesterol mixtures. Assuming that competition between the liquid and gel order of the phospholipids is the main driving force behind lipid segregation, we derive a Gibbs free energy of mixing, based on the thermodynamic properties of the lipids main transition. A numerical approach was devis...
متن کاملAlternative Refrigerants in the Liquid Phase: Thermal Conductivity of Binary and Ternary Mixtures
Refrigerant mixtures seem the most promising candidates as replacement fluids in refrigeration devices and heat pumps. In this paper two prediction methods are proposed for th~ evaluation of the thermal conductivity of refrigerant mixtures in their saturated liquid state and in the subcooled region. The first method is based on the use of mixing rules applied to pure refrigerant data evaluated ...
متن کاملSimulation of the lo-ld phase boundary in DSPC/DOPC/cholesterol ternary mixtures using pairwise interactions.
Recently, a number of ternary phase diagrams of lipid mixtures have been constructed using various experimental techniques with a common goal of understanding the nature of lipid domains. An accurate experimental phase diagram can provide rich thermodynamic information and can also be used to extract molecular interactions using computer simulation. In this study, the liquid-ordered and liquid-...
متن کاملPhase Separation of Viscous Ternary Liquid Mixtures
In this work we study the demixing of ternary liquid mixtures. Our theoretical model follows the standard diffuse interface model, where convection and diffusion are coupled via a body force, expressing the tendency of the mixture to minimize its free energy. This driving force induces a material flux which, in most cases, is much larger than that due to pure molecular diffusion. Here we model ...
متن کاملTransport coefficients of binary and ternary mixtures of DCMIX project
We present the thermodiffusion, molecular diffusion and Soret coefficients of several binary and ternary mixtures of DCMIX project. All measurements were carried out at 25oC and two experimental techniques have been used such as the thermogravitational column technique (TGC) and the Sliding symmetric Tubes technique (SST). In addition the thermophysical properties of analysed mixtures have been...
