Theoretical modeling of microstructured liquids: a simple thermodynamic approach
A new method is presented for accounting for microstructural features of flowing complex fluids at the level of mesoscopic, or coarse-grained, models by ensuring compatibility with macroscopic and continuum thermodynamics and classical transport phenomena. In this method, the microscopic state of the liquid is described by variables that are local expectation values of microscopic features. The...
متن کاملThermodynamic Perturbation Theory of Simple Liquids
This chapter is an introduction to the thermodynamics of systems, based on the correlation function formalism, which has been established to determine the thermodynamic properties of simple liquids. The article begins with a preamble describing few general aspects of the liquid state, among others the connection between the phase diagram and the pair potential u(r), on one hand, and between the...
متن کاملA Simple Theoretical Model for Prediction of Phase Inversion
Phase inversion in liquid-liquid dispersions corresponds to the transitional boundary between Oil-in-Aqueous dispersion and Aqueous-in-Oil dispersion. A theoretical model based on simple assumptions was proposed to predict phase inversion point, ambivalence region and the hysteresis effect of inversion. Experimental data from the literature were used to validate the model and results were c...
متن کاملRefractive Index Measurement of Liquids Based on Microstructured Optical Fibers
This review is focused on microstructured optical fiber sensors developed in recent years for liquid RI sensing. The review is divided into three parts: the first section introduces a general view of the most relevant refractometric sensors that have been reported over the last thirty years. Section 2 discusses several microstructured optical fiber designs, namely, suspended-core fiber, photoni...
متن کاملModeling pH effects on microbial growth: a statistical thermodynamic approach.
This paper applies a statistical thermodynamic approach to the kinetics of microbial growth influenced by pH. A general equation is developed and shown to provide a good theoretical basis for the existing pH models that have been widely used to describe the effects of pH on microbial growth kinetics. Four experimental data sets are used to test the general equation developed. The four data sets...
