We consider placing a rigid spherical particle into binary fluid mixture in the homogeneous phase near demixing critical point. The surface is assumed to have short-range interaction with each component and attract one more than other. Owing large osmotic susceptibility, adsorption layer, where preferred concentrated, can be of significant thickness. This causes motion under an imposed composit...

A predictive version of the UNIQUAC model is proposed for the description of the nonideality of paraffinic solid solutions. With this model, and using only pure component properties, is possible to adequately predict the phase behavior of complex hydrocarbon mixtures. Both liquid and solid phase compositions as well as the fraction of crystals in a partly frozen solution show a good agreement w...

Clustering is an unsupervised learning technique that seeks “natural” groupings in data. One form of data that has not been widely studied in the context of clustering is binary data. A rich statistical framework for clustering binary data is the Bernoulli mixture model for which there exists both Bayesian and non-Bayesian approaches. This paper reviews the development and application of Bernou...

A recently developed analytical version of the discrete-ordinates method is used to establish a concise and particularly accurate solution to the problem of Couette #ow of a binary gas mixture in a plane channel. The model kinetic equations used to describe the #ow are based on the BGK theory of the linearized Boltzmann equation, and, in addition to the complete distribution functions for the t...
