It is shown that the existence of single critical point of the fluid described by van der Waals equation of state is not the hypothesis and it is the consequence of the thermodynamic conditions of liquid-vapor phase equilibrium. It is also…
The paper deals with the problem of surface effects at a fluid boundary produced by a step force field. A classical simple fluid with a locally placed field simulating a solid is considered. The specific surface Omega-potential gamma, the…
This work is devoted to the consistent modeling of a three-phase mixture of a gas, a liquid and its vapor. Since the gas and the vapor are mis-cible, the mixture is subjected to a non-symmetric constraint on the volume. Adopting the Gibbs…
