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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The 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 ...

The 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 ...

From the 1st of August 2021, I start to work full time as a Professor at the Department of Chemistry at NTNU. The position is within equilibrium and non-equilibrium thermodynamics, and was formally announced more than one year ago. There were many excellent ...

The EFCE Excellence award in Thermodynamics and Transport properties is awarded every second year to an excellent PhD thesis. In 2021, it was awarded to my former PhD student and present collaborator, Dr. Ailo Aasen. The judging committee of EFCE’s Thermodynamics and Transport Properties ...
