Visit to Nancy in France
May 18, 2022The 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 ...

New paper on thermal diffusion and Thermo-osmosis in porous media
May 4, 2022Our 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 ...

Morten Hammer joins the group
April 22, 2022My 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 ...

Visit from the Netherlands to discuss nanosystems
April 11, 20228th 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 ...

Journal cover and Editors pick
March 21, 2022Our 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 ...

New paper on thermodynamic perturbation theory for short-ranged fluids
March 21, 2022The 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 ...

New paper on RED for hydrogen production
March 21, 2022The 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 ...

New paper on ensemble invariance in small systems
March 21, 2022The paper entitled Small Size Effects in Open and Closed Systems: What Can We Learn from Ideal Gases about Systems with Interacting Particles? has been published in the Journal of Chemical Physics. Small systems have higher surface area-to-volume ratios than macroscopic systems. One consequence ...

New paper on chocked flow in nozzles
March 21, 2022The paper entitled Choked liquid flow in nozzles: Crossover from heterogeneous to homogeneous cavitation and insensitivity to depressurization rate has been published in Chemical Engineering Science. The critical mass flow rate is the maximum flow rate that can pass through a constrained geometry such ...
