New article on kinetic gas theory for Mie fluids

Our new paper entitled Revised Enskog theory for Mie fluids: Prediction of diffusion coefficients, thermal diffusion coefficients, viscosities and thermal conductivities has been published in the Journal of Chemical Physics. It was also selected as Editor’s pick. Since the 1920s, the Enskog solutions to ...

New article about local equilibrium in liquid phase shock waves

Our new paper entitled Local equilibrium in liquid phase shock waves has been published in Physical Review E. In the article, we assess the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium in a shock wave by comparing local thermodynamic data generated with nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) ...

New article on nucleation theory

Our new paper entitled Free energy of critical droplets—from the binodal to the spinodal has been published in the Journal of Chemical Physics. Arguably, the main challenge of nucleation theory is to accurately evaluate the work of formation of a critical embryo in the ...

New article on DFT and interfacial properties of hydrogen

Our new paper entitled Classical density functional theory for interfacial properties of hydrogen, helium, deuterium, neon, and their mixtures has been published in The Journal of Chemical Physics. In the article, we present a classical density functional theory (DFT) for fluid mixtures that is ...

New article on two-phase flow in capillary tubes

Our new paper entitled Steady-State Two-Phase Flow of Compressible and Incompressible Fluids in a Capillary Tube of Varying Radius has just been published in Transport in Porous Media. In the article, we study immiscible two-phase flow of a compressible and an incompressible ...

New article on water evaporation

Our new paper entitled A comparative Study of experiments and theories on Steady-State Evaporation of Water has just been published in Chemical Thermodynamics and Thermal Analysis. A precise description of energy and mass transport across the liquid-vapor interface of water is central in disciplines ...
