Candidates to Replace R-12 as a Radiating Gas in Cherenkov Detectors

April 14, 2018
Author(s)
Allan H. Harvey, Yauheni Paulechka, Patrick F. Egan
Dichlorodifluoromethane (R-12) has been used as a radiating gas in pressure threshold Cherenkov detectors for high-energy particle physics. However, that ozone-depleting compound is becoming unavailable due to the Montreal Protocol. To find a replacement

Influence of Ion Solvation on the Properties of Electrolyte Solutions

It is widely appreciated that the addition of salts to water leads to significant changes in the thermodynamic and dynamic properties of these aqueous solutions, which have great significance in biology and manufacturing applications. However, no

Molecular Simulation of Capillary Phase Transitions in Flexible Porous Materials

March 27, 2018

Vincent K. Shen, Daniel W. Siderius, Nathan Mahynski
We used at-histogram sampling Monte Carlo to study capillary phase transitions in deformable adsorbent materials. Specifically, we considered a pure adsorbate fluid below its bulk critical temperature within a slit pore of variable pore width. The

Quasi-Two-dimensional Phase Transition of Methane Adsorbed in Cylindrical Silica Mesopores

November 29, 2017
Author(s)
Daniel W. Siderius, William P. Krekelberg, Wei-Shan NMN Chiang, Vincent K. Shen, Yun Liu
Using Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations, we examine the adsorption of methane in cylindrical silica mesopores in an effort to understand a possible phase transition of adsorbed methane in MCM-41 and SBA-15 silica that was previously identified

Simulation-aided Correlations for the Dielectric Constant of H2S, SO2, and SF6

August 16, 2017
Author(s)
Allan H. Harvey, Raymond D. Mountain
A new method is developed for correlating the static dielectric constant of polar fluids over wide ranges of conditions where few experimental data exist. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to establish the temperature and density dependence of the

Temperature extrapolation of multicomponent grand canonical free energy landscapes

August 7, 2017
Author(s)
Nathan Mahynski, Jeffrey R. Errington, Vincent K. Shen
We derive a method for extrapolating the grand canonical free energy landscape of a multicomponent fluid system from one temperature to another. Previously, we introduced this statistical mechanical framework for the case where kinetic energy contributions
