Propagating modes in a binary liquid mixture under thermal stress

Effect of a marginal inclination on pattern formation in a binary liquid mixture under thermal stress.

Convective motions in a fluid layer are affected by its orientation with respect to the gravitational field. We investigate the long-term stability of a thermally stressed layer of a binary liquid mixture and show that pattern formation is strongly affected by marginal inclinations as small as a few milliradians. At small Rayleigh numbers, the mass transfer is dominated by the induced large sca...

Generalized collective modes in a binary He0.65-Ne0.35 mixture

We have applied the parameter-free collective modes approach to investigate the collective excitation spectra of a He 0.65-Ne 0.35 gas mixture at 39.3 K. The static and dynamic correlation functions were calculated directly in molecular dynamics simulations of an ensemble of 864 particles which interact via Aziz potentials. We have compared the spectra calculated within the ~basic! hydrodynamic...

Temporal fluctuations in a turbulently stirred binary liquid mixture.

Liquid-vapor phase behavior of a symmetrical binary fluid mixture

Using Monte Carlo simulation and mean-field calculations, we study the liquid-vapor phase diagram of a square-well binary fluid mixture as a function of a parameter d measuring the relative strength of interactions between particles of dissimilar and similar species. The results reveal a rich variety of liquid-vapor coexistence behaviors as d is tuned. Specifically, we uncover critical end poin...

Experimental Investigations on the Thermal Performance of a Vertical Closed Loop Pulsating Heat Pipe Using Binary Mixture of Fluids

This paper presents the experimental investigations conducted on a vertical closed loop pulsating heat pipe (VCLPHP) to evaluate the thermal performance. The values of thermal resistance and heat transfer coefficient obtained in the experimentation is used as evaluation parameters. The VCLPHP used has capillary tubes having an inner diameter of 2mm and outside diameter 3mm and bent into 5 turns...
