We consider a zero-range process with two species of interacting particles. The steady-state phase diagram of this model shows a variety of condensate phases in which a single site contains a finite fraction of all the particles in the system. Starting from a homogeneous initial distribution, we study the coarsening dynamics in each of these condensate phases, which is expected to follow a scal...

A revised phase diagram for water shows three distinct fluid phases. There is no continuity of liquid and gas, and no “critical point” on Gibbs’ density surface as hypothesized by van der Waals. A supercritical colloidal mesophase bounded by percolation transition loci separates supercritical liquid water and gas-phase steam. The water phase is bounded by a percolation transition (PA) of availa...

This study was to determine whether the PCONCO2 and PCONO2 which collect in the expiratory trap of a ventilator circuit are equivalent to PECO2 and PEO2. Fifty studies were performed in 34 mechanically ventilated male patients. Five milliliters of condensate fluid were collected and PECO2 and PEO2 were measured. Exhaled gases were collected simultaneously with condensate fluid for 5 min in a me...

We investigate the decay of pair correlation functions in a homogeneous (bulk) binary mixture of hard spheres. At a given state point the asymptotic decay r-->infinity of all three correlation functions is governed by a common exponential decay length and a common wavelength of oscillations. Provided the mixture is sufficiently asymmetric, size ratios q less than or approximately 0.7, we find t...

Using computer simulations we study the phase behaviour of hard spheres with repulsive Yukawa interactions and with the repulsion set to zero at distances larger than a density-dependent cut-off distance. Earlier studies based on experiments and computer simulations in colloidal suspensions have shown that the effective colloid–colloid pair interaction that takes into account many-body effects ...

A one dimensional isothermal mathematical modeling of cathode side of a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell is developed for the water management problem. Water transport is investigated in both cathode Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) and membrane through solving appropriate equations for fluid flow and mass transport in GDL and water transport within the membrane. The gaseous mixture flowing in...

The boson-fermion atomic bound states (composite fermion) and their roles for the phase structures are studied in a bose-fermi mixed condensate of atomic gas in finite temperature and density. The two-body scattering equation is formulated for a bosonfermion pair in the mixed condensate with the Yamaguchi-type potential. By solving the equation, we evaluate the binding energy of a composite fer...

We investigate the ground-sate phase diagram of the XXZ version of the S = 1/2 distorted diamond chain by use of the degenerate perturbation theory near the truncation point. In case of the XY -like interaction anisotropy, the phase diagram consists of the Néel phase and the spin-fluid phase. For the Ising-like interaction anisotropy case, it consists of three phases: the ferrimagnetic phase, t...
