The equilibrium phase behavior of a binary mixture of charged colloids and neutral, nonadsorbing polymers is studied within free-volume theory. A model mixture of charged hard-sphere macroions and ideal, coarse-grained, effective-sphere polymers is mapped first onto a binary hard-sphere mixture with nonadditive diameters and then onto an effective Asakura-Oosawa model [S. Asakura and F. Oosawa,...

liquid-liquid equilibria for the (water + lactic acid + benzyl alcohol or p-xylene) ternary systems were investigated at atmospheric pressure and in the temperature range from 298.15-318.15 k. the studied systems exhibit two types of liquid-liquid equilibrium (lle) behavior. the system consisting of benzyl alcohol displays type-1 lle behavior, while a type-2 behavior is exhibited by the other s...

This work investigates the modeling of the surface tension and the interface of liquid mixtures. Nine binary liquid mixtures of (DMSO+alcohols), (2-Propanol+2,2,4-trimethylpentane), (Tetrahydrofuran+2-Propanol), (Tetrahydrofuran+2,2,4-trimethylpentane), and (ethano+glycerol) are considered. Additionally, one ternary liquid mixture of (Tetrahydrofuran+2-Propanol+2,2,4-trimethylpenta...

We compute the dynamic structure factors of a dense binary liquid mixture. These describe dynamics on molecular length scales, where structural relaxation is important. We find that the presence of a few large particles in a dense fluid of small particles slows down the dynamics considerably. We also observe a deep narrowing of the spectrum for a disordered mixture composed of a nearly equal pa...

This work includes specific basic characterization of synthesized glycine-based Ionic Liquid (IL) [QuatGly-OEt][EtOSO(3)] by NMR, elementary analysis and water content. Thermophysical properties such as density, ρ, viscosity, η, refractive index, n, and conductivity, κ, for the binary mixture of [QuatGly-OEt][EtOSO(3)] with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) [M(w) = 200] are measured over the whole co...

Excess thermo acoustical parameters such as excess intermolecular free length (Lf), excess adiabatic compressibility (), excess free volume (Vf), excess enthalpy (H) have been measured for propylene glycol in Hexanol for various mole fractions at 303K temperature through ultrasonic sudy. These results have been explained on the basis of intermolecular interactions between the components in the...

The technique of fluorescence recovery after photobleaching is used to perform an extensive study of the lateral diffusion of a phospholipid probe in the binary mixture dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine/cholesterol, above the melting temperature of the phospholipid. In the regions of the phase diagram where a single liquid phase exists, diffusion can be quantitatively described by free volume theo...

Vapor-liquid nucleation in the binary system n-nonane/methane is investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. The supersaturation is achieved by cooling down the system during the expansion in order to closely mimic the real process. Binary clusters formed by nucleation are frequently inhomogeneous objects in which components are not well mixed. By studying high-pressure nucleation and cluste...

It is common knowledge that light fluids rise while heavy fluids sink in the gravity field. The most obvious case is the isothermal Rayleigh-Taylor instability when a heavy fluid is placed on top of a light one. In the nonisothermal case, while heating from above, the density stratification is stable in a pure liquid. However, unstable density stratification might be established in a binary mix...

We present for the first time a peculiar concentration effect on competitive adsorption of a binary mixture at the liquid/solid interface, which we attribute to the existence of pseudopolymorphism and its concentration dependence. These results are helpful for the understanding of phase behavior of multi-component systems at the interface.
