The effect of various salts such as magnesium nitrate, calcium nitrate, zinc nitrate, and magnesium chloride on vapor−liquid equilibrium (VLE) of the ethyl acetate−ethanol system was studied experimentally in a modified Othmer still at atmospheric pressure. The influence of cation and anion of the salts on the VLE of the ethyl acetate− ethanol system was examined. It was observed that the order...

A vapor-liquid interface introduces resistivities for mass and heat transfer. These resistivities have recently been determined from molecular simulations, as well as theoretically using the van der Waals square gradient model. This model, however, does not allow for direct quantitative comparison to experiment or results from molecular simulations. The classical density functional theory is us...

The equilibrium density distribution and thermodynamic properties of a Lennard-Jones fluid confined to nano-sized spherical cavities at constant chemical potential was determined using Monte Carlo simulations. The results describe both a single cavity with semipermeable walls as well as a collection of closed cavities formed at constant chemical potential. The results are compared to calculatio...
