In this work, Flory-Huggins phase diagrams for correlated random copolymers with realistic chain lengths are calculated. This is achieved in two steps. At first we derive a distribution function of copolymer chains respect to composition and blockiness. Then used the method moments, which was developed by Sollich Cates [Sollich, P.; Cates, M. E.; Phys. Rev. Lett. 1998, 80, 1365-1368] polydisper...

this paper presents the effect of high viscosity oil and two-phase foamy-oil flow on the performance of a single stage centrifugal pump. as a part of this, the applicability of a pipe viscometer to determine the foamy oil viscosity is investigated. unlike previous studies, a sealed fluid tank is used in a closed flow loop to allow conditioning the two-phase mixture to create foamy-oil. furtherm...

We identify a new scenario for dynamical phase transitions associated with time-integrated observables occurring in diffusive systems described by the macroscopic fluctuation theory. It is characterized pairwise meeting of first- and second-order bias-induced transition curves at two tricritical points. formulate simple, general criterion its appearance derive an exact Landau theory behavior.

We study the effects of nanoparticles (NPs) on thermotropic nematic liquid crystals (LCs) in relatively dilute NP–LC mixtures. are interested fundamental generic mechanisms that quantitatively and qualitatively affect phase behavior LCs. A simple molecular field analysis shows a transition will likely occur upon entry into ordered phase. Moreover, interaction between nematogenic NPs LCs could f...
