Elementary classical thermodynamics, applications of the first law and the second laws of thermodynamics to power and refrigeration cycles, mixtures and solutions, thermodynamic relations, chemical ...

Five different phases of a colloid-polymer mixture can co-exist at the same time, in defiance of the 150-year-old Gibbs phase rule, which states that only three simultaneous phases are possible. The ...

During a routine set of experiments being conducted in the lab, Anthony Raykh, a graduate student at the University of Massachusetts (UoM) Amherst, accidentally found a rare instance where the laws of ...

Liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) in ternary systems concerns the conditions under which a three-component mixture divides into two immiscible liquid phases. At the heart of these phenomena is a delicate ...
