The Lattice-Boltzmann method has been seen as an alternative model for the computational simulation of fluid dynamics. It is based on the Boltzmann transport equation, which serves as the foundation of kinetic theory of gases. Considering its suitability for complex geometry problems, it has been widely applied for the description of fluid flow with one or more components inside porous media, e...

The phase diagram of a simple model with two patches of type A and ten patches of type B (2A10B) on the face centred cubic lattice has been calculated by simulations and theory. Assuming that there is no interaction between the B patches the behavior of the system can be described in terms of the ratio of the AB and AA interactions, r. Our results show that, similarly to what happens for relate...

In this paper, the solubility of CO2 in AMP solution have been measured at temperature range of ( 293, 303 ,313,323) K.The amine concentration ranges studied are (2.0, 2.8, and 3.4) M. A solubility apparatus was used to measure the solubility of CO2 in AMP solution on samples of flue gases from Thermal and Central Power Plants of Esfahan Steel Company. The modified Kent Eisenberg model was used...

Using continuum dynamic van der Waals theory in a radial 1D geometry with a Lennard-Jones fluid model, we investigate the nature of vapor bubble nucleation near a heated, nanoscale-curved convex interface. Vapor bubble nucleation and growth are observed for interfaces with sufficiently large radius of curvature while phase stabilization of a superheated fluid layer occurs at interfaces with sma...

The size distributions and geometries of vapor clusters equilibrated with methanol-ethanol (Me-Et) liquid mixtures were recently studied by vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) laser time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry and density functional theory (DFT) calculations (Liu, Y.; Consta, S.; Ogeer, F.; Shi, Y. J.; Lipson, R. H. Can. J. Chem. 2007, 85, 843-852). On the basis of the mass spectra recorded, it...

In this work is examined whether it is possible to predict solid-liquid-vapor phase equilibrium of ternary systems used in the SAS processing by the Peng-Robinson equation of state coupled with the LCVM mixing rules and the UNIFAC method for excess Gibbs free energy calculation. The enthalpy of fusion and the melting point temperature are estimated by group contribution methods. The results sho...

Liquid water can be brought beyond the liquid–vapor equilibrium line into a metastable state, before nucleation of bubbles (cavitation) occurs. We review the experimental work on cavitation in water, focusing on the determination of the ultimate degree of metastability at which liquid water can exist. We also present practical applications of metastability and cavitation. To cite this article: ...
