In our recent paper in the Journal of Chemical Physics entitled “Equation of state for confined fluids“, we present a consistent thermodynamic framework for calculating the thermodynamic properties of confined fluids. Fluids confined in small volumes behave differently than fluids in bulk systems. For bulk systems, a compact summary of the system’s thermodynamic properties is …

Morten and me are so fortunate to be at a research stay at the University of Stuttgart for some months at the moment. Here, we visit the group of Prof. Joachim Gross, head of the Institute of Technical Thermodynamics and Thermal Process Engineering, to learn about density functional theory for fluids, perturbation theory and collaborate …

The 17th of May, the national day of Norway, was spent in beautiful Nancy in France together with the group of Jean Noël Jaubert, Silvia Lasala and Romain Privat at ENSIC (Ecole Nationale Superieure des Industries Chimiques). We shared results in a workshop. Here we got an update on their work on residual entropy scaling, …

Our new paper entitled Soret separation and thermo-osmosis in porous media has just been published in the topical collection “Thermal non-equilibrium phenomena in fluid mixtures” in the European Physics Journal E. When a temperature difference is applied over a porous medium soaked with a fluid mixture, two effects may be observed, a component separation (the …

My colleague Morten Hammer is taking a leave of absence from his job as a research scientist at SINTEF Energy Research for two years to pursue a postdoc in our group and in Porelab. Our aim for these two years is to develop a state-of-the-art code to solve classical density functional theory to describe interfaces …

8th of April, we were so fortunate to get visitors from the Netherlands. The groups of Prof. Thijs Vlugt at TU Delft and Prof. Sofia Calero at Eindhoven University of Technology were visiting us to participate in a workshop we arranged entitled “Computational Methods in Nanothermodynamics – Case studies of porous media, small systems and …
