Small multicomponent droplets are of increasing importance in a plethora technological applications ranging from the fabrication self-assembled hierarchical patterns to design autonomous fluidic systems. While often far away equilibrium, involving complex and even chaotic flow fields, it is commonly assumed that these systems with small drops surface tension keeps shapes spherical. Here, studyi...

Response times provide essential subthreshold perceptual data that extend beyond accuracy alone. Behavioral reaction times (RTs) were used to characterize rats' ability to detect individual odorants in a series of complimentary binary odorant mixture ratios. We employed an automated, liquid-dilution olfactometer to train Fischer 344 rats (N = 8) on an odor identification task using nonreinforce...

The Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo simulation is used to investigate the vapor–liquid phase behavior of a binary Lennard–Jonesmixture confined in a slit-like pore at reduced temperature T* = 1.0. Our simulation program is tested by comparing the simulated phase diagram with the previous simulation results from various methods. Then phase diagrams of a binary asymmetric Lennard–Jones mixture confine...

In this study, the use of the three-layer feed forward neural network has been investigated for estimating of infinite dilute diffusion coefficient ( D12 ) of supercritical fluid (SCF), liquid and gas binary systems. Infinite dilute diffusion coefficient was spotted as a function of critical temperature, critical pressure, critical volume, normal boiling point, molecular volume in normal boilin...

The two-fluid theory of binary mixtures postulates that the extensive thermodynamic properties of a binary mixture may be expressed by the contributions of two hypothetical fluids that mix ideally. This postulate, coupled with an expression for the partition function of the hypothetical fluid, permits evaluation of the properties of binary liquid mixtures by using only two adjustable binary par...

Mesomorphic behaviors and photoconductive properties in the binary mixture composed of electron donor (R10D) and acceptor (R10A) mesogens were investigated in three different phases, i.e. crystalline, liquid crystalline and isotropic liquid phases. Optoelectronic properties for R10DA (R10D:R10AZ50:50 mol%) were compared with those of the individual R10D and R10A in the different phases. The mag...

We simulate the diffusion-driven dissolution or growth of a single-component liquid drop embedded in a continuous phase of a binary liquid. Our theoretical approach follows a diffuse-interface model of partially miscible ternary liquid mixtures that incorporates the non-random, two-liquid (NRTL) equation as a submodel for the enthalpic (so-called excess) component of the Gibbs energy of mixing,...
