The aim of this book is to present a systematic theory of transport for heterogeneous
systems. The theory is an extension of non-equilibrium thermodynamics for transport in …

A generalization of the classical Hertz-Knudsen and Schrage laws for the evaporation mass
and energy fluxes at a liquid-vapor interface is derived from kinetic theory and a simple …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are carried out for water using two kinds of
intermolecular potentials, the Carravetta− Clementi (C− C) model and the extended simple …

Non-equilibrium molecular dynamic (NEMD) simulations have been used to study heat and
mass transfer across a vapor–liquid interface for a one-component system using a Lennard …

Transport of mass and energy across the vapor-liquid interface of water is of central
importance in a variety of contexts such as climate models, weather forecasts, and power …

We calculate transfer coefficients in a one-component system from molecular simulations of
heat and mass transport across a vapor/liquid surface. We present a criterion in terms of …

Coupling between heat and mass transfer occurs across interfaces and in vapor and liquid
films. In this work, we present the first rigorous investigation of the role of these physical …

The purpose of this work is to demonstrate the usability of irreversible thermodynamics and
kinetic theory in describing slow steady state evaporation and condensation, analyze the …

In contrast to the high demand for MEMS devices, microflow analysis is not feasible even for
single-phase flow with conventional Navier-Stokes equation because of non-continuum …

In this thesis we used non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) to study non-equilibrium
behaviors of two irreversible systems, both exposed to large temperature gradients. As …
