We review understanding of kinetics of fluid phase separation in various space dimensions. Morphological differences, percolating or disconnected, based on overall composition in a binary liquid or density in a vapor-liquid system, have been pointed out. Depending upon the morphology, various possible mechanisms and corresponding theoretical predictions for domain growth are discussed. On compu...

With nanometer lateral and Angstrom vertical resolution, atomic force microscopy (AFM) has contributed unique data improving the understanding of lipid bilayers. Lipid bilayers are found in several different temperature-dependent states, termed phases; the main phases are solid and fluid phases. The transition temperature between solid and fluid phases is lipid composition specific. Under certa...

The phase behavior of a binary symmetric fluid in thermal equilibrium with a porous matrix has been studied with the optimized random phase approximation and grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. Depending on the matrix properties and the matrix-fluid and fluid-fluid interactions we find three types of phase diagram characterized by a tricritical point, a tricritical point with a triple poin...

force convection heat transfer of turbulent nano fluid flow in 90 and 60 degree elbow is simulated by using fluent. single phase model has been implemented to study such a flow field and standard

this work investigates the response of two-dimensional, turbulent boundary layer characteristics over a flat plate to the presence of suspended particulate matter. both phases are assumed to be interacting continua. that is, the carrier fluid equations are considered to be coupled with the particle-phase equations. a finite-difference technique with non-uniform grid has been employed for the so...

background: severe metabolic acidosis occurs during orthotopic liver transplantation (olt) particularly during the anhepatic phase. although nahco3 is considered as the current standard therapy, there are numerous adverse effects. the aim of this study was to determine whether the restricted use of normal saline during anesthesia could reduce the need for nahco3. methods: in this study we enrol...
