The accurate knowledge of transport properties of pure and mixture fluids is essential for the
design of various chemical and mechanical systems that include fluxes of mass, momentum …

It is well known that gases adsorb on many surfaces, in particular metal surfaces. There are
two main forms responsible for these effects (i) physisorption and (ii) chemisorption …

Hydrogen (H2) has recently gained momentum as a promising clean energy alternative to
fossil fuels. The intermittent nature of renewable energy, as the source of green H2 …

The Stefan column consists of liquid A evaporating into an inert/stagnant gas B with a
sweeping B stream at the top. It was designed to estimate binary gas diffusivities, DAB's, but …

This PhD research aims at improving the understanding of condensation phenomena of
interest for the safety analysis of nuclear reactor containments. Particular attention if focused …

Abstract In 1871, Josef Stefan established the theoretical framework which allowed the
design of his diffusion column. It consisted of a volatile liquid A overlaid with gases A and B …
