SALT EFFECT IN VAPOR-LIQUID EQUILIBRIUM

Liquid - Vapor Equilibrium/Distillation

Background The volatility of a compound is its ability to change into a vapor, or to evaporate at a particular temperature and pressure. The normal boiling point of a liquid usually allows comparison of its volatility to other materials, with lower boiling points indicating greater volatility, but this may be affected somewhat by the presence of other materials. Comparison of the concentration ...

Gibbs ensemble simulation of liquid-vapor equilibrium in quantum neon

Harmony Search for Parameter Estimation in Vapor- Liquid Equilibrium Modeling

This study introduces the application of Harmony Search (HS) method for solving the parameter estimation problem in vapor-liquid equilibrium data modeling. The performance of this novel stochastic optimization strategy has been tested using several sets of binary vaporliquid equilibrium data with local composition models and the classical approach of least squares. Our results indicate that HS ...

Closed-loop liquid-vapor equilibrium in a one-component system.

We report Monte Carlo simulations that show a closed-loop liquid-vapor equilibrium in a pure substance. This finding has been achieved on a two-dimensional lattice model for patchy particles that can form network fluids. We have considered related models with a slightly different patch distribution in order to understand the features of the distribution of patches on the surface of the particle...

Phase-equilibrium-dominated vapor-liquid-solid growth mechanism.

The vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth model has been widely used to direct the growth of one-dimensional (1D) nanomaterials, but the origin of the proposed process has not been experimentally confirmed. Here we report the experimental evidence of the origin of VLS growth. Al(69)Ni(31) alloyed particles are used as "catalysts" for growing AlN nanowires by nitridation reaction in N(2)-NH(3) at diff...
