Blowdown of hydrocarbons pressure vessel with partial phase separation

Alessandro Speranza, Alessandro Terenzi

We propose a model for the simulation of the blowdown of vessels containing two-phase (gas-liquid) hydrocarbon fluids, considering non equilibrium between phases. Two phases may be…

Phase equilibria of polydisperse hydrocarbons: moment free energy method analysis

Alessandro Speranza, Francesca Di Patti, Alessandro Terenzi

We analyze the phase equilibria of systems of polydisperse hydrocarbons by means of the recently introduced moment method. Hydrocarbons are modelled with the Soave-Redlick-Kwong an…

Glow discharge in low pressure plasma PVD: mathematical model and numerical simulations

Alessandro Speranza, Luigi Barletti, Luca Meacci +3

In this paper we analyze the problem of glow discharge in low pressure plasma in industrial plant, for chambers of different shapes and various working parameters, like pressure an…

Isotropic-nematic phase equilibria in the Onsager theory of hard rods with length polydispersity

Alessandro Speranza, Peter Sollich

We analyse the effect of a continuous spread of particle lengths on the phase behavior of rodlike particles, using the Onsager theory of hard rods. Our aim is to establish whether…

Onsager theory of length-bidisperse hard rods: Evidence for a nematic-nematic critical point

Alessandro Speranza, Peter Sollich

This manuscript has been withdrawn because of significant overlap with an existing paper (Szabolcs Varga and Istvan Szalai, "Phase diagrams of binary mixtures of hard rods in an ex…

Isotropic-nematic phase equilibria of polydisperse hard rods: The effect of fat tails in the length distribution

Alessandro Speranza, Peter Sollich

We study the phase behaviour of hard rods with length polydispersity, treated within a simplified version of the Onsager model. We give a detailed description of the unusual phase…
