A new scenario of thermalization process of the adsorbate attached at solid surfaces is proposed. The scenario is based on existence of electric dipole layer in which the electron wavefunctions extend over the positive ions. Thus the strong…
We demonstrate the in situ detection of cold 87 Rb atoms near a dielectric surface using the absorption of a weak, resonant evanescent wave. We have used this technique in time of flight experiments determining the density of atoms falling…
A cold, thin film of liquid impinging on an isothermal hot, horizontal surface has been investigated. An approximate solution for the velocity and temperature distributions in the flow along the horizontal surface is developed, which…
We present a simple model for the turbulent kinetic energy behavior of subsonic plasma turbulence undergoing isotropic three-dimensional compression, such as may exist in various inertial confinement fusion experiments or astrophysical…
In contrast to the gaseous and the solid states, the liquid state does not have a simple model that could be developed into a quantitative theory. A central issue in the understanding of liquids is to estimate the energy state of liquids.…
To date, over 500 short-period rocky planets with equilibrium temperatures above 1500 K have been discovered. Such planets are expected to support magma oceans, providing a direct interface between the interior and the atmosphere. This…
The method consists in the monitoring of the temperature variation of a superconductor tape subjected to a trapezoidal current pulse. Simulations of the experiment were performed using the lumped capacitance model and also the finite…
The available enthalpy is an early form of the modern thermodynamic concept of exergy, which is the generic name for the amount of work obtainable when some matter is brought to a state of equilibrium with its surroundings by means of…
Drop condensation and evaportation as a result of the gradient in vapor concentration are important in both engineering and natural systems. One of the interesting natural examples is transpiration on plant leaves. Most of water in the…
Recent publications have described a method for stand-off optical detection of explosives using resonant infra-red photothermal imaging. This technique uses tuned lasers to selectively heat small particles of explosive lying on a substrate…
We report on the implementation of evaporative cooling of a magnetically guided beam by adsorption on a ceramic surface. We use a transverse magnetic field to shift locally the beam towards the surface, where atoms are selectively…
Some members of the vegetal kingdom can achieve surprisingly fast movements making use of a clever combination of evaporation, elasticity and cavitation. In this process, enthalpic energy is transformed into elastic energy and suddenly…
A generally relativistic theory of thermodynamics is developed, based on four main physical principles: heat is a local form of energy, therefore described by a thermal energy tensor; conservation of mass, equivalent to conservation of…
Water evaporation is critically important for hydrogels in open-air applications, but theoretically modeling is difficult due to the complicated intermolecular interactions and sustained deformation. In this work, we construct a simplified…
Molecular dynamics simulation is employed to understand the thermodynamic behavior of cuboctahedron (cub) and icosahedron (ico) nanoparticles with 2-20 number of shells (55-28741 atoms). The embedded atom method was used to describe the…
A method for taking into account the long-range potential of atoms in the framework of the hard-sphere model is proposed. It is shown that thermodynamic quantities can be represented as a sum of three contribution: that of an ideal gas, the…
Vortex-loop renormalization is used to compute the specific heat of superfluid $^4$He near the lambda point at various pressures up to 26 bars. The input parameters are the the pressure dependence of T$_\lambda$ and the superfluid density,…
We propose a method to evaluate the entropy density and entropy flux in a vacuum gap between two half-spaces that takes into account influence of near-field effects, i.e., interference, diffraction, and tunneling of waves. The method…
We present an experimental study on the evaporation of drops on fibers. More specifically, we focus on the droplet lifetime both in quiescent air and in an air flow of constant velocity. We propose a model to describe the evaporation rate…
A simple model is applied to study a high temperature rather dense plasma ball. It is assumed that the ions and delocalized electrons are distributed uniformly throughout the ball, and extra/missing charge is found in a thin layer on the…
