We derive hydrodynamic equations describing the evolution of a binary fluid segregated into two regions, each rich in one species,which are separated (on the macroscopic scale) by a sharp interface. Our starting point is a Vlasov-Boltzmann (VB) equation describing the evolution of the one particle position and velocity distributions, f_i (x, v, t), i = 1, 2. The solution of the VB equation is developed in a Hilbert expansion appropriate for this system. This yields incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for the velocity field u and a jump boundary condition for the pressure across the interface. The interface, in turn, moves with a velocity given by the normal component of u.     

Normalization and noise-reduction algorithm for fringe patterns

This paper presents a fringe pattern normalization and noise-reduction algorithm. Locally the background noise is suppressed, the modulation normalized and the noise smoothed. An expression to calculate the cosine-only term is formulated. It is related to the directional derivatives of the intensity fringes. Two-dimensional Fourier series are used to calculate the parameters needed for the algorithm. Experimental work is presented using diffraction and ESPI images. The programming is relatively simple and involves mainly local convolutions. The processing time using a 2 GHz computer to normalize an image of 256 × 256 pixels is approximately one second.     

Phase diagram of Na2S2O3 + ethanol + water at ambient pressure and temperature

In the present communication, we report the studies concerning liquid–liquid–solid equilibria for the ternary system sodium thiosulphate (Na₂S₂O₃) + ethanol + water at ambient pressure and at room temperature (303 ± 2 K). The solubility data of Na₂S₂O₃ are reported for solutions in water, ethanol and solutions of varying concentrations of ethanol in water. The phase diagram for the said system is developed, described and compared with similar system K₂CO₃ + methanol + water. These results have been explained in terms of structural properties of aqueous ethanol solutions and further discussed in terms of the effect of ions to cause phase separation.     

Topological order in the phase diagram for high-temperature superconductors with point defects

Applying a Lindemann like criterion obtained previously by Kierfeld et al. [J. Kierfeld, T. Nattermann, T. Hwa, Phys. Rev. B 55 (1997) 626], we estimate the magnetic field and temperature for a high-T_c superconductor, at which a topologically ordered vortex glass phase becomes unstable with respect to a disorder-induced formation of dislocations. The employed criterion is shown to be equivalent to a conventional phenomenological Lindemann criterion including the values for the numerical factors, i.e., for the Lindemann number. The positional correlation length of the topologically ordered vortex glass is calculated.     

Calculating Gibbs free energies of transfer from Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo simulations

The partitioning of the ternary systems n-pentane/n-heptane/(helium or argon) at ambient conditions is investigated using configurational-bias Monte Carlo simulations in the Gibbs ensemble. The results demonstrate that this approach yields very precise partition constants and free energies of transfer. Simulations are carried out to study the dependence of the n-pentane partitioning with respect to the carrier gas, the system size, and the overall solute concentrations. None of the changes of variables, within the ranges used here, has a significant effect on the alkane partitioning. However, chemical potentials calculated via Widom's ghost particle insertions show a strong number dependence for phases containing relatively few molecules of a given type. This problem originates from the fact that the chemical potential is calculated for a concentration of real particles plus one ghost particle that is systematically larger than the equilibrium concentration. A simple correction term is suggested to account for this problem. Received: 13 May 1998 / Accepted: 18 June 1998 / Published online: 4 September 1998
