چکیده
We examine some aspects of the recent results by K. Binder [1]. The equilibrium formation/dissolution of droplets in finite systems is discussed in the context of the canonical and the grand canonical distributions.

Reply to the Comment
In their comment to the paper “Theory of the evaporation/condensation transition of equilibrium droplets in finite volumes” [Physica A319, 99 (2003)], Biskup et al. claim that in finite systems at fixed density “the physical significance of the conjugate thermodynamic variable is of dubious value”. This claim is critically discussed.
متن کاملA More Accurate Prediction of Liquid Evaporation Flux
In this work, a more accurate prediction of liquid evaporation flux has been achieved. The statistical rate theory approach, which is recently introduced by Ward and Fang and exact estimation of vapor pressure in the layer adjacent to the liquid–vapor interface have been used for prediction of this flux. Firstly, the existence of an equilibrium layer adjacent to the liquid-vapor interface ...
متن کاملRevisiting kinetic boundary conditions at the surface of fuel droplet hydrocarbons: An atomistic computational fluid dynamics simulation
The role of boundary conditions at the interface for both Boltzmann equation and the set of Navier-Stokes equations have been suggested to be important for studying of multiphase flows such as evaporation/condensation process which doesn't always obey the equilibrium conditions. Here we present aspects of transition-state theory (TST) alongside with kinetic gas theory (KGT) relevant to the stud...
متن کاملMolecular Conformational Manifolds between Gas-Liquid Interface and Multiphasic
The analysis of conformational changes of hydrocarbon molecules is imperative in the prediction of their transport properties in different phases, such as evaporation/condensation coefficients (β) in the gas-liquid interface and evaporation rates of fuel droplets (k) in multiphases. In this letter, we analyze the effects of entropic contributions (T∆Sev(T)) to ∆Gev(T) during the evaporation/con...
متن کاملThe Role of Partial Internal Wetting in Hysteresis Behavior of Catalyst Pellet
The phenomenon of capillary condensation is studied through the weight change of condensed phase in an internally wetted porous pd catalyst pellet during the course of exothermic reacation of cyclohexane hydrogenation in a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The direct measurement of condensed phase indicates that evaporation of condensed phase is confined to the macropores of catalyst pellet at ...
