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 …

Our recent paper, Perturbation theories for fluids with short-ranged attractive forces: A case study of the Lennard-Jones spline fluid ended up on the cover of the Journal of Chemical Physics, Volume 156, Issue 10. It was also awarded with Editors pick! We are very happy and excited about this!
The paper entitled Perturbation theories for fluids with short-ranged attractive forces: A case study of the Lennard-Jones spline fluid has been published in the Journal of Chemical Physics. It is generally not straightforward to apply molecular-thermodynamic theories to fluids with short-ranged attractive forces between their constituent molecules (or particles). This especially applies to perturbation theories, which, for …

The paper entitled Heat to Hydrogen by RED-Reviewing Membranes and Salts for the RED Heat Engine Concept has been published in Membranes. The Reverse electrodialysis heat engine (REDHE) combines a reverse electrodialysis stack for power generation with a thermal regeneration unit to restore the concentration difference of the salt solutions. Current approaches for converting low-temperature waste heat …
