Turbulent mixing of a slightly supercritical Van der Waals fluid at Low-Mach number [PDF]
Supercritical fluids near the critical point are characterized by liquid-like densities and gas-like transport properties. These features are purposely exploited in different contexts ranging from natural products extraction/fractionation to aerospace ...

Experimental assessment of a helical coil heat exchanger operating at subcritical and supercritical conditions in a small-scale solar organic rankine cycle [PDF]
In this study, the performance of a helical coil heat exchanger operating at subcritical and supercritical conditions is analysed. The counter-current heat exchanger was specially designed to operate at a maximal pressure and temperature of 42 bar and ...

Electrodeposition from supercritical fluids
Recent studies have shown that it is possible to electrodeposit a range of materials, such as Cu, Ag and Ge, from various supercritical fluids, including hydrofluorocarbons and mixtures of CO2 with suitable co-solvents. In this perspective we discuss the

The "True" Widom Line for a Square-Well System
In the present paper we propose the van der Waals-like model, which allows a purely analytical study of fluid properties including the equation of state, phase behavior and supercritical fluctuations.

Onset of convection in a finite two-dimensional container due to unipolar injection of ions [PDF]
This work addresses the stability of a two-dimensional plane layer of a dielectric liquid enclosed in wall bounded cavities of different aspect ratios and subjected to unipolar injection of ions. Numerical simulations have been conducted to investigate

Surface‐attached multilayer micromagnet systems are fabricated by two‐photon crosslinking. The pillar‐shaped micro actuators consist of a soft and flexible surface‐attached cell‐repellent hydrogel layer at the bottom, acting as a hinge and a cell‐adhesive hydrophobic polymer filled with magnetic nanoparticles.
