The surface tension of molten metals plays a key role in applications such as microfluidics,
welding, and additive manufacturing. These are areas where there is an increasing …

Droplets and bubbles are thought to be two sides of the same coin; this work determines
how true this is at the molecular scale. Stable cylindrical nanodroplets and nanobubbles are …

The classical model of evaporation of liquids hinges on Maxwell's assumption that the air
near the liquid's surface is saturated. It allows one to find the evaporative flux without …

Boiling heat transfer performance is associated to bubble dynamics related to cavities. In this
work, four reconstructed surfaces with different pore structures (P1-plain surface, S1-no …

Written by leading experts in the field, the first edition of this textbook was the first of its kind
to address numerous potential applications such as the technology of high-voltage …

Ultrafine aerosol particles with sizes smaller than 50 nm have been shown in recent studies
to serve as a large source of cloud condensation nuclei that can promote additional cloud …

We determine, for hard spheres, the Helmholtz free energy of a liquid that contains a solid
cluster as a function of the size of the solid cluster by means of the formalism of the …

The thermal transport properties of porous silicon and nano-hybrid “porous silicon/water”
systems are presented here. The thermal conductivity was evaluated using the equilibrium …

Using lumped heat capacity model (LHCM) to describe a droplet evaporation process is one
of the most convenient and simplest approaches. However, its assumption of infinitely fast …

The wetting characteristics of fluids play a crucial role in various fields of interface and
surface science. Contact angle serves as a fundamental indicator of wetting behavior …
