Vilde Bråten (PhD candidate) placed second in the national finale in the Norwegian Research Grand Prix, where researchers from universities all over the country presented their research in a way where it becomes possible to understand for the general population. Vilde did an ...

Our paper entitled The influence of interfacial transfer and film coupling in the modeling of distillation columns to separate nitrogen and oxygen mixtures has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Chemical Engineering Science X (the open access version of J. Chem. Eng. ...

Our paper entitled Accurate quantum-corrected cubic equations of state for helium, neon, hydrogen, deuterium and their mixtures has been published in Fluid Phase Equilibria. Cubic equations of state have thus far yielded poor predictions of the thermodynamic properties of quantum fluids such as hydrogen, ...

Our paper entitled Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of surfaces captures the energy conversions in a shock wave has been published in the open access journal Chemical Physics Letters X. In the letter, we develop a theory for the entropy production in a shock wave using Gibbs’ ...

Our paper entitled Ice formation and growth in supercooled water-alcohol mixtures: Theory and experiments with dual fiber sensors has just been published in Fluid Phase Equilibria. Increased knowledge on fluid-solid phase transitions is needed, both when they are undesired and can impair processes operation, ...

Diego Kingston successfully defends his PhD on energy efficient design and operation of process equipment such as chemical reactors and distillation columns. During his PhD, Diego had two research stays at PoreLab; a first period between March and May 2019, and a ...

The paper entitled Thermodynamic stability of volatile droplets and thin films governed by the disjoining pressure in open and closed containers has just been accepted for publication in Langmuir. Distributed thin films of water and their coexistence with droplets are investigated using a capillary ...

The paper entitled Using Fiber-Optic Sensors to Give Insight into Liquid-Solid Phase Transitions in Pure Fluids and Mixtures, has just been accepted for publication in the journal entitled “Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science”. Fiber optic sensors offer a new and unique way to ...

Markus Solberg Wahl successfully defends his PhD thesis entitled “Detection and analysis of liquid-solid phase transitions with fiber-optic sensors”, 19th of May, 2020. The thesis addresses the very interesting topic of using fiber optic sensors to detect phase transitions, and is a collection ...
