The isotropic-nematic (I-N) phase transition in hard ellipsoid fluids has been studied by computer simulation, using the Gibbs-Duhem integration technique introduced by Kofke; and theoretically, using Onsager theory and the Parsons-Lee improvement. In the simulations, the I-N coexistence line is mapped out in the P -x plane, where P is the pressure and x is the elongation, by numerically integr...

Weather extremes have harmful impacts on communities around Lake Victoria, where thousands of fishermen die every year because of intense night-time thunderstorms. Yet how these thunderstorms will evolve in a future warmer climate is still unknown. Here we show that Lake Victoria is projected to be a hotspot of future extreme precipitation intensification by using new satellite-based observatio...

We present a guide to compute the phase-boundaries of classical systems using dynamic Clausius–Clapeyron integration (dCCI) method within LAMMPS (Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator) code. The advantage dCCI is because it provides coexistence curves spanning wide range thermodynamic states relatively short single non-equilibrium simulations. describe state-of-the-art free-...

Understanding the response of extreme precipitation (EP) at a city scale to global warming is critical reducing respective risk urban flooding. Yet, current knowledge on this issue limited. Here, focusing an agglomeration in tropics, Singapore, we reveal that future enhances both frequency and intensity EP, based simulations with state-of-the-art convection-permitting regional climate model. EP...

Precipitation clusters are spatially contiguous precipitating regions. Large in the tropics rare, extreme events that include organized systems. Changes to probability distributions of tropical precipitation under global warming examined using models from coupled model intercomparison project phase 6 (CMIP6). Every analyzed projects significant increases frequencies both very large-sized and wi...

Abstract. A column model of the Arctic atmosphere is developed including nonlinear positive feedback responses surface albedo and water vapour to temperature. The treated as a grey gas flux longwave radiation governed by two-stream Schwarzschild equations. Water concentration determined Clausius–Clapeyron equation. Representative pathways (RCPs) are used carbon dioxide concentrations into futur...

Porous materials adsorb H2 through physisorption, a process which typically has a rather low enthalpy of adsorption (e.g. ca. 4 to 7 kJ mol(-1) for MOFs), thus requiring cryogenic temperatures for hydrogen storage. In this paper, we consider some of the issues associated with the accurate characterisation of the hydrogen adsorption properties of microporous materials. We present comparative gra...

Perturbed-Chain Statistical Associating Fluid Theory (PC-SAFT) coupled with the Young-Laplace equation is a recently developed equation of state (EOS) that successfully presents not only the capillary condensation but also the pore critical phenomena. The development of this new EOS allows further investigation of the heats involved in condensation. Compared to the conventional approaches, the ...

The approach to illustrate observed changes in heavy precipitation has been repeated for gridded daily precipitation data for the US. Fig.S1a shows the same result as Fig.2b but for the contiguous US east of 100°W, specifically the region between 65° and 100°W and 25° and 49°N with data coverage (see domain in Fig.S5). Note that the period differs somewhat from Fig.2b since only data up to 2006...

The strain–temperature response of Ni–Fe–Ga single crystals underscores the role of the inter-martensitic transformation in creating intersecting heating and cooling segments; the separation of these segments occurs due to irreversibilities at high stresses and at high temperatures. An ultra-narrow tensile (1 C) and compressive (<10 C) thermal hysteresis are observed for the A 10M 14M case, acc...
