Multicomponent Interfacial Transport
Described by the Square Gradient Model during Evaporation and Condensation
Language: English
Release Date: January 18, 2011
A thermodynamically consistent description of the transport across interfaces in mixtures has for a long time been an open issue. This research clarifies that the interface between a liquid and a vapor in a mixture is in local equilibrium during evaporation and condensation. It implies that the thermodynamics...
Bond Orders and Energy Components
Extracting Chemical Information from Molecular Wave Functions
Language: English
Release Date: October 14, 2016
While modern computational methods can provide us with the wave function of a molecule in numerical form, most computer programs lack the sophisticated tools needed to extract chemical concepts from these wave functions. Saving researchers vast time and potential confusion, this volume collects and...

"Catalytic Microreactors for Portable Power Generation” addresses a problem of high relevance and increased complexity in energy technology. This thesis outlines an investigation into catalytic and gas-phase combustion characteristics in channel-flow, platinum-coated microreactors. The emphasis...
Raman Spectroscopy of Conformational Rearrangements at Low Temperatures
Folding and Stretching of Alkanes in Supersonic Jets
Language: English
Release Date: August 16, 2014
This thesis identifies the turning point in chain length, after which alkanes self-solvate into a folded structure instead of an extended stretched conformation. After this turning point, London dispersion forces rearrange isolated n-alkanes into a particular hairpin-structure, while for shorter...
