Statics and dynamics of fluids in nanotubes [PDF]
, 2012 The purpose of this article is to study the statics and dynamics of nanotubes by using the methods of continuum mechanics. The nanotube can be filled with only a liquid or a vapour phase according to the physicochemical characteristics of the wall and to

On the effect of the atmosphere on the evaporation of sessile droplets of water [PDF]
, 2009 An experimental and theoretical study into the effect of the atmosphere on the evaporation of pinned sessile droplets of water is described. The experimental work investigated the evaporation rates of sessile droplets in atmospheres of three different ...

Estimating fusion properties for functionalised acids [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011 Multicomponent organic aerosol (OA) is likely to be liquid, or partially liquid. Hence, to describe the partitioning of these components, their liquid vapour pressure is desired. Functionalised acids (e.g. diacids) can be a significant part of OA.

A mathematical model of the evaporation of a thin sessile liquid droplet : comparison between experiment and theory [PDF]
, 2008 A mathematical model for the quasi-steady diffusion-limited evaporation of a thin axisymmetric sessile droplet of liquid with a pinned contact line is formulated and solved. The model generalises the theoretical model proposed by Deegan et al.

Continuum mechanics at nanoscale. A tool to study trees' watering and recovery [PDF]
, 2017 The cohesion-tension theory expounds the crude sap ascent thanks to the negative pressure generated by evaporation of water from leaves. Nevertheless, trees pose multiple challenges and seem to live in unphysical conditions: the negative pressure ...

Water Vapour Adsorption of Microporous Carbon Films Prepared from Fluorinated Aromatic Polyimides
Adsorption Science & Technology, 2008 The adsorption of water vapour onto microporous carbon films derived from fluorinated aromatic polyimides was studied at 25°C over the relative pressure range 0–0.95. The carbon films prepared were microporous with a high micropore volume ranging up to 0.
