The heats of adsorption on weakly activated ^-aluminium oxide for a number of linear alkanes (from n-butane to n-nonane) and for 2.2.4-trimethylpentane have been determined by GSC and extrapolated to zero surface coverage. The dependance of the adsorption energy on the number of carbon atoms is discussed on the basis of the bidimensional gas model: it is shown that the interactions of the adsor...

In physical adsorption the interaction of adsorbed molecules with solids is mainly due to induction forces acting between the surface electric field and permanent or induced dipoles in the adsorbate, and to L O N D O N dispersion forces, these prevailing, for example, in adsorption of apolar molecules In the last years it has been shown that the dielectric behaviour of the heterogeneous adsorbe...

explosion has always been regarded as one of the most complicated engineering problems. as a result, many engineers have preferred rather simplified empirical approaches in comparison to extremely complex deterministic analyses. in this paper, however, a numerical simulation based on the combined finite/discrete element methodology is presented for analyzing the dynamic behavior of fracturing r...

The interaction between proteins and membranes has an important role in biological pro-cesses.We have calculated energies of interaction between Melittin and DMPC bilayer in differenttemperatures. We have used the CHARMM software for MD simulation under the canonical (N,V, E) ensemble at different temperatures. The computations have shown that water moleculeshave more penetration into the bilay...

The occurrence of heterogeneous flow structures in gas-particle flows seriously affects the gas-solid contacting and transport processes in high-velocity gas-fluidized beds. Particles do not disperse uniformly in the flow but pass through the bed in a swarm of clusters. The so-called “core-annulus” structure in the radial direction and “S” shaped axial distribution of solids concentration chara...

isotherm equation is one of the important scientific bases for adsorbent selection. there are different isotherms that do not account for an adsorbate, different chemisorption geometries on the nanoporous surface. it is interesting to introduce a general isotherm, which considers different chemisorption geometries of an adsorbate on nanoporous surfaces. in this study, an isotherm for non-dissoci...

This paper deals with the interface between a solid and an ideal gas. The surface of the solid is considered to be an ideal wall, if the flux of entropy is continuous, i.e. if the interaction between wall and gas is non-dissipative. The concept of an ideal wall is discussed within the framework of kinetic theory. In particular it is shown that a non-dissipative wall must be adiabatic and does n...
