Adsorption Thermodynamics and Mass Transfer of Toxic Volatile Organic Compounds in Activated -Carbon Fiber -Cloth for Air Pollution Control
… model was modified to provide the ""Thermal Equation of Equilibrium Adsorption"" (TEEA) model. Such model allowed for derivations of continuous functions describing adsorption thermodynamic parameters in the phase space of temperature, adsorbate partial pressure, and adsorption capacity. A …

Re-evaporation nuclei and evaporation in a Wilson cloud chamber
… a stable size. Determination of radii with the Kelvin equation for pure water yielded mean radii of 112 Å and 91 Å for respective times of 0.57 and 0.88 seconds after the beginning of the compression.</p> <p>Evaporation theory, assuming the presence of a solute in the drop, predicts a stable …

Detailed Investigations of Capillary and van der Waals Forces in the Adhesion between Solids
The primary focus of this dissertation is on characterizing two fundamental forces common to adhesion between solids: capillary and van der Waals forces. These two forces have a significant impact on how solids flow, stick to surfaces, agglomerate and break; therefore, understanding their behavior …
