The external structure of the spray-flamelet can be described using Schvab–Zel'dovich–Liñan formulation. gaseous mixture-fraction variable as function physical space, Z(xi), typically employed for description diffusion flames leads to non-monotonicity behaviour spray due extra fuel supplied by vaporisation droplets distributed into flow. As a result, overall properties depend not only on Z and ...

Qualitatively, the non-covalent interactions are well-known and help to explain many phenomena in chemistry biochemistry. Quantitatively, determination of strength this force is a challenging task. The vaporization enthalpy reliable measure not only for intermolecular liquid phase, but also as gas phase specific group compounds, e.g., triglycerides. vaporisation thermodynamics four triglyceride...

We propose significant improvements to perfluorocarbon microdroplets, conferring them colloidal stability, chemical versatility, and size control. Decafluoropentane cores are stabilized by biocompatible interfaces – either a monolayer of the cationic surfactant dimethyldioctadecylammonium bromide (DDAB) or double shell obtained adding crosslinked dextran methacrylate as further coating function...

Photoselective vaporisation of the prostate (PVP) is an established treatment option for bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). PVP has demonstrated durable clinical efficacy equivalent to other endoscopic procedures at 5 years [1]. Furthermore, PVP has demonstrated superior haemostatic properties compared with other endoscopic treatments for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) [2]. Despite this many...

In the pursuit of more efficient gas turbine engines, components are required to operate for longer times at elevated temperatures. This increased time in service, together with a complex loading regime, can expose material environmental attack. work has demonstrated that interaction stress, NaCl and sulphur-containing environment is critical cause crack initiation early stages exposure acceler...
