The application of the Young–Laplace equation to a solid–liquid interface is considered. Computer simulations show that the pressure inside a solid cluster of hard spheres is …
In the last decades, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations established as an important tool for solving fluid flow and heat transfer problems at the nanoscale, with a significant …
It is well-known that the surface tension of small droplets and bubbles deviates significantly from that at the planar interface. In this work, we analyze the leading corrections in the …
We investigate the general dependence of the thermal transport across nanoparticle–fluid interfaces using molecular dynamics computations. We show that the thermal conductance …
We present results from direct, large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of homogeneous bubble (liquid-to-vapor) nucleation. The simulations contain half a billion Lennard-Jones …

The curvature dependence of interfacial properties has been discussed extensively over the last decades. After Tolman published his work on the effect of droplet size on surface …
The ejector is a process equipment frequently used in refrigeration processes. There is currently a knowledge gap on the efficiency of ejectors operating with mixtures. To address …
Mass accommodation coefficient, a parameter that captures molecular transport phenomena at liquid–vapor interfaces, is essential for predicting the growth of liquid droplets during …

Nucleation in binary alloys is studied in the capillary approximation of classical theory. By allowing both the size of the cluster and its composition to vary, the phase transition is …
