We describe in detail a lattice gas model whose irreversible dynamics leads to a phase transition. Attractive and repulsive forces between particles are similar to those of our previous papers. The equilibrium properties such as the equation of state, the pressure tensor in the bulk and on interfaces, and Laplace's law are investigated numerically. Surface tension, equilibrium

The time evolution of excited nuclei, which are in equilibrium with the surrounding vapour, is investigated. It is shown that the nite nuclear systems undergo a rst order phase transition. The caloric curve is presented for excited 16 O, 24 Mg, 27 Al and 40 Ca and the critical temperature is estimated for 16 O.

We propose the rarefied-gas-cushion model (r-GCM), as an extended version of the gas-cushion model (GCM), to estimate the apparent slip of water flowing over a gas layer trapped at a solid surface. Nanobubbles or gas nanofilms may manifest rarefied-gas effects and the r-GCM incorporates kinetic boundary conditions for the gas component in the slip Knudsen regime. These enable an apparent hydrod...

Industry has long used charcoal or other solid absorbents in columns for cleaning gas streams or for solvent recovery, and more recently Turner (1943), Claesson (1946), Glueckauf, Barker & Kitt (1949), Phillips (1949) and Turkel'taub (1950) have used charcoal in gas chromatograms for the analysis of hydrocarbons and esters. Gas-liquid scrubbing columns have been used in industry for many years ...

Two-phase flow measurement has attracted a major interest in the past four decades due to its wide range of applications in industry. This paper introduces a new method to separate the gas phase from the liquid phase through a blind source separation algorithm, without a separate device, based on the assumption that the two phases are separated and their independence is reflected in the statist...

We use micro particle image velocimetry (mPIV) and fluorescence microscopy techniques to characterize microscale segmented gas–liquid flow at low superficial velocities relevant for chemical reactions with residence times of up to several minutes. Different gas–liquid microfluidic channel networks of rectangular cross section are fabricated in poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) using soft lithograph...

Original scientific paper Numerical simulations of four combustion processes in a dual-fuel combustor of chemically recuperated gas turbine (CRGT) were carried out in this work. The fuels in the four combustion processes were liquid fuel, liquid fuel + steam, liquid fuel + reformed gas and reformed gas, respectively. The mathematical models adopted for different fuels combustion consist of real...

AIMS To test the hypothesis that lavage with exogenous surfactant before partial liquid ventilation in meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) would improve debris removal, and therefore the effectiveness of partial liquid ventilation. METHODS 12 newborn piglets were randomised into 4 groups, partial liquid ventilation or gas ventilation, with and without surfactant lavage. Physiological and blood...

Upgrading of cracked PFO (Pyrolysis fuel oil) for production of fuels, such as gasoline and light gasoil, was carried out in a semi batch reactor. Two different kinds of mesoporous and microporous catalysts, MCM-41 and ZSM-5, were used. Modification methods, such as ion exchange and impregnation with Fe and Ti, were done for tuning the acidity of the catalyst. XRD, FT-IR, and XRF analyzes were ...

In a gas membrane, gas is transferred between a liquid and a gas through a microporous membrane. The main challenge is to achieve a high gas transfer while preventing wetting and clogging. With respect to the oxygenation of blood, haemocompatibility is also required. Here we coat macroporous meshes with a superamphiphobic-or liquid repellent-layer to meet this challenge. The superamphiphobic la...
