here, the concept of quantum potential that has been illustrated in extended phase space (eps) in previous works is explored for its marginal behavior. unlike in configuration space, different representations of the quantum mechanics can be found in eps when exploiting appropriate canonical transformations. these canonical transformations revealed that there exist several representations in whi...

Abstract Current multi-component, multiphase pseudo-potential lattice Boltzmann models have thermodynamic inconsistencies that prevent them to correctly predict the phase behavior of partially miscible multi-component fluids, such as hydrocarbon mixtures. This paper identifies these and attempts design a thermodynamically consistent model allows mass transfer across interfaces is capable typica...

In this paper we consider a compositional model for three-phase multicomponent uid ow in porous media. This model consists of Darcy's law for volumetric ow velocities, mass conservation for hydrocarbon components, thermodynamic equilibrium for mass interchange between phases, and an equation of state for saturations. These diierential equations and algebraic constraints are rewritten in terms o...

intermetallic phase formation and oxidation reaction during combustion synthesis (cs) of ni-ti equiatomic mixture are affected by mechanical activation (ma) and pre-heating conditions. important parameters are ignition time, reaction duration, temperature rise, microstructural change, titanium oxidation and intermetallic phase formation. superelasticity and shape memory effects are influenced b...

The thermal conductivity of a rare-gas crystal Ar is computed using equilibrium molecular dynamics in conjunction with the Green-Kubo linear response formalism, and the Lennard-Jones potential with an appropriately long cutoff 4 . Besides predicting absolute values of the conductivity from low temperature up to the liquid, the approach allows heat conduction to be understood as a dynamical proc...

Metabolomics is a powerful and widely used approach that aims to screen endogenous small molecules (metabolites) of different families present in biological samples. The large variety of compounds to be determined and their wide diversity of physical and chemical properties have promoted the development of different types of hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) stationary phase...

A simplified spray environment is used to represent the multicomponent nature of liquid fuels and to examine the sensitivity of their vaporization behavior to the various liquidand gas-phase models. Liquid-phase models are the diffusion limit, the infinite diffusion, and the vortex. Gas-phase models are the Ranz-Marshall correlation and the axisymmetric model. Three subsets of equations are sol...
