a numerical framework has been proposed to model the interacting effects of mixture non-ideality and mass transfer on hydrodynamics of a multiphase system using cfd methods.mass transfer during condensation and vaporization is modeled by chemical potential at the liquid-vapor interface. species mass transfers are related to the diffusion at the interface which in turn is related to the concentr...

Reverse micellar systems are nanofluids with unique properties that make them attractive in high selectivity separation processes, especially for biological compounds. Understanding the phase behavior and thermodynamic properties of these nanosystems is the first step in process design. Separation of components by these nanosystems is performed upon contact of aqueous and reverse micellar phase...

the rings considered in this article are commutative with identity $1neq 0$. by a proper ideal of a ring $r$,  we mean an ideal $i$ of $r$ such that $ineq r$.  we say that a proper ideal $i$ of a ring $r$ is a  maximal non-prime ideal if $i$ is not a prime ideal of $r$ but any proper ideal $a$ of $r$ with $ isubseteq a$ and $ineq a$ is a prime ideal. that is, among all the proper ideals of $r$,...

n the previous 2 chapters, we developed the fundamental thermodynamic relationships and saw how they are applied to geochemical problems. The tools now in our thermodynamic toolbox are sufficient to deal with most of the phenomena we will encounter in the second half of this book. They are not sufficient, however, to deal with all geochemical problems. In this chapter, will add a final few ther...

We present the exact thermodynamics (isochores, isotherms, isobars, response functions) of a statistically interacting quantum gas in D dimensions. The results in D=1 are those of the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz for the nonlinear Schrödinger model, a gas with repulsive two-body contact potential. In all dimensions the ideal boson and fermion gases are recovered in the weak-coupling and strong-co...

Solar cells efficiency limits can be calculated either by thermodynamic or detailed balance approaches. For a single energy (i.e., single junction) solar cell, detailed balance equations are identical to the thermodynamic equations. However, standard detailed balance techniques cannot be directly used to analyze new approaches for higher efficiency solar cells if mechanisms other than radiative...

Mixtures of cyclohexane and cyclohexene are investigated by means of all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. Thermodynamic properties (density, enthalpy of vaporization), transport coeecients (diierent diffusion coeecients, reorientation times), and structural properties (radial distribution functions) were calculated for seven diierent compositions and compared to experimental results where a...
