Our article entitled Energy efficient design of membranes processes by use of entropy production minimization has just been accepted for publication in Computers & Chemical Engineering. In the paper, we discuss how to develop more energy efficient membrane separation processes by use of entropy production minimization. For our example, which is a unit for separation of CO2 from …

Our article entitled Tolman lengths and rigidity constants of multicomponent fluids: Fundamental theory and numerical examples has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Chemical Physics. The paper was very positively received by the reviewers and was chosen to be Editors pick in the journal. The work has previously drawn attention at international conferences, where my …

1st of March I recieved the prize by the Norwegian Research Councils Award for Young Outstanding Researchers within Natural Sciences on my research on surfaces. The research would not have been possible without my excellent colleagues in Norway and in Spain and good collaboration. The award was mentioned in both national and international media such as Adressa , Trondheim by , Youtube , SINTEFs …

Since January, I have been visiting the group of Prof. Erich Müller together with my PhD-student Ailo Aasen and my SINTEF colleague Morten Hammer. We will stay here until May, and have been very well taken care of so far. We are all enjoying the “London-experience” meanwhile developing an equation of state capable of handling quantum fluids such as helium, …

Our paper entitled: Reducing the exergy destruction in the cryogenic heat exchangers of hydrogen liquefaction processes has been published in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy. A present key barrier for implementing large-scale hydrogen liquefaction plants is their high power consumption. The cryogenic heat exchangers are responsible for a significant part of the exergy destruction in these …

Our paper entitled: Temperature anisotropy at equilibrium reveals nonlocal entropic contributions to interfacial properties has been accepted for publication in Physical Review E. In the work, we show that the configurational part of the temperature has different contributions from the parallel and perpendicular directions at the vapor-liquid interface, even at equilibrium. This has been illustrated in the …
