Numerical evidence of the formation of a thin microscopic film of methane at the water surface: a free energy calculation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a free energy calculation of a methane molecule as a function of its position along the normal to the water surface, and establish that the formation of a methane film at the water surface is thermodynamically favoured.

The Effect of Core Surface Tension on Roughness of Film - Coated Tablets
The arithmetic mean roughness, Ra, values were determined by scanning electron microscopic technique of different core models (furazolidone, nitrofurantoin and acetyl salicylic acid), coated by HPMC film forming solution containing 10 wt% of various molecular weight PEGs. The results showed that both plasticizer molecular weight and core surface free energy could have a significant influence on...

متن کاملInstabilities of Thin Viscous Liquid Film Flowing down a Uniformly Heated Inclined Plane
Instabilities of a thin viscous film flowing down a uniformly heated plane are investigated in this study. The heating generates a surface tension gradient that induces thermocapillary stresses on the free surface. Thus, the film is not only influenced by gravity and mean surface tension but also the thermocapillary force is acting on the free surface. Moreover, the heat transfer at the free su...

متن کاملPerformance and Structure of Thin Film Composite Reverse Osmosis Membranes Prepared by Interfacial Polymerization in the Presence of Acid Acceptor
During interfacial polymerization (IP) reaction between m-phenylenediamine (MPDA) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC), a by-product, i.e. hydrochloric acid can produce. This produced acid diffuses back in aqueous phase and protonates MPDA and reduces its reactivity that results in lowering of polymer yield and performance of membrane. Further, for getting consistency in reverse...
