The interplay of heat flow and electrification phenomena at solid/fluid interfaces gives origin to intriguing effects such as Peltier's and Seebeck's, which is of great interest for applications such as production of ...

We have investigated the state of a nanoconfined fluid in a slit pore in the canonical and isobaric ensembles. The systems were simulated with molecular dynamics simulations. The fluid has a transition to a close-packed ...

The thesis’ purpose was to contribute to the understanding of thermal gradients within Li-ion secondary batteries. A first step was the determination of thermal conductivities of various electrode materials and separators. ...

Darcy's law for porous media transport is given a new local thermodynamic basis in terms of the grand potential of confined fluids. The local effective pressure gradient is determined using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics, ...

Research in the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) is important toget an efficient fuel cell that can be used as an energy carrier, for example in thetransport sector. Understanding the different phenomena and ...

This thesis concerns fundamental aspects of coexistence and flow of two fluid phases within porous media. Specifically, the focus is on thermodynamic stability and equilibrium on the scale of a single pore and on macroscopic ...

Neutral and charged interfaces between molten alkali carbonates M2CO3 (M = Li, Na, and K) and planar solid walls have been investigated by molecular dynamics based on a rigid-ions force field. Simulations cover the temperature ...

Industrial processes for the production of metals and alloys by metallurgical and electrochemical methods generate a lot of waste heat due to irreversible losses. This waste heat could be used as a power source to produce ...

We have described for the first time the thermodynamic state of a highly confined single-phase and single-component fluid in a slit pore using Hill’s thermodynamics of small systems. Hill’s theory has been named ...

Nanotermodynamiske teorier og ideer blir her brukt på små systemer, spesifikt et porøsmedium, ved hjelp av Monte Carlo simulasjoner med Molekylær Dynamikk basert på "Grand Canonical Ensemble". Til å begynne med tester vi ...
