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 ...

Ailo Aasen successfully defends his PhD thesis entitled “Bulk and interfacial thermodynamics of mixtures: From aqueous systems to ultracryogenic fluids”, Friday 27th of March. The thesis deals with a variety of topics such as predicting the thermodynamic properties of fluids that exhibit strong ...

Our paper entitled Choice of reference, influence of non-additivity, and present challenges in thermodynamic perturbation theory for mixtures has just been published in the Journal of Chemical Physics. In the article, we discuss how thermodynamic perturbation theory should be extended to fluid mixtures, and ...

Our paper entitled Equation of state and force fields for Feynman–Hibbs-corrected Mie fluids. II. Application to mixtures of helium, neon, hydrogen, and deuterium becomes Editors pick in J. Chem. Phys. In the paper, we extend the statistical associating fluid theory of quantum corrected Mie ...

Our paper entitled Minimum entropy production in a distillation column for air separation described by a continuous non-equilibrium model has been published in Chemical Engineering Science. In this work, we apply the rate-based model of Taylor and Krishna to describe the separation of air ...
