Proton-Proton Collisions in View of Thermo-Statistical Approach

The data of charged particles produced in proton-proton collisions extracted from Durham particle data group at energy ranges √s = 6.3 - 17 GeV and at 0.9 - 7 TeV are investigated in the framework of Tsallis thermo-statistics and the Vlasov time dynamics. The analysis can describe the experimental data well all-over the considered energies and rapidity intervals. The variation of the collision parameters (chemical potential, entropy index and the time of evolution) is studied and discussed as a function of the final state temperature. According to the obtained result, a scenario, and a script of the time evolution for the particle production is simulated by the pp collision.

Hypothetical Dark Matter Explains the Origin of Subatomic Universe: FEP-Theory

Although the standard model provides a suitable pattern based on observable experimental data, it cannot explain dark matter, gravitation, the structural nature of the fundamental particles, and charges. In this paper, a new theory about the nature of charges, particles and proposed structures for atoms were presented. This theory explains how an ideal quantum fluid (IQF) including hypothetical dark matter or fundamental elementary particles (FEPs) can produce the building blocks of matter. This theory describes quadruple blocks with two types of independent charges that can create different characteristics for these building blocks. Quadruple blocks have similarities and differences with the fundamental particles in standard model. This theory also explains the possible mechanism of creation the next generation of particles such as protons and neutrons.

Droplets diameter distribution using maximum entropy formulation combined with a new energy-based sub-model

The maximum entropy principle(MEP) is one of the first methods which have been used to predict droplet size and velocity distributions of liquid sprays. This method needs a mean droplets diameter as an input to predict the droplet size distribution. This paper presents a new sub-model based on the deterministic aspects of liquid atomization process independent of the experimental data to provide the mean droplets diameter for using in the maximum entropy formulation(MEF). For this purpose, a theoretical model based on the approach of energy conservation law entitled energy-based model(EBM) is presented. Based on this approach, atomization occurs due to the kinetic energy loss. Prediction of the combined model(MEF/EBM) is in good agreement with the available experimental data. The energy-based model can be used as a fast and reliable enough model to obtain a good estimation of the mean droplets diameter of a spray and the combined model(MEF/EBM) can be used to well predict the droplet size distribution at the primary breakup.

Theoretical predictions of viscosity of methane under confined conditions

Density functional theory has been confirmed as a reliable approach in the descriptions of inhomogeneous fluids.By integrating the density functional theory into the revised local average density model, a theoretical approach is constructed to investigate the local shear viscosity in the confined conditions. In the density functional theory,the weighted density approximation for attractive part and the modified fundamental measure theory for repulsion contribution are adopted to accurately describe the inhomogeneous systems. By comparing with simulation data, the theoretical model is tested. In this work, the shear viscosities of methane are calculated in different external fields(on a hard wall, a solvophobic wall and in slit pores with different widths). In addition, the effects of temperature on the local density and viscosity are also considered. It shows that the effect of temperature on the shear viscosity is more obvious on solid surfaces. The calculation provides an approach to determine the viscosity under confined conditions, which is extremely significant in real industrial applications.

Surface and transport properties of Cu-Sn-Ti liquid alloys

The lack of experimental data and / or limited experimental information concerning both surface and transport properties of liquid alloys often require the prediction of these quantities. An attempt has been made to link the thermophysical properties of a ternary Cu-Sn-Ti system and its binary Cu-Sn, Cu-Ti and SnoTi subsystems with the bulk through the study of the concentration dependence of various thermodynamic, structural, surface and dynamic properties in the frame of the statistical mechanical theory in conjunction with the quasi-lattice theory （QLT）. This formalism provides valuable qualitative insight into mixing processes that occur in molten alloys.

Thermal properties of Lense-Thirring spacetime in tetrad theory of gravity

Using the divergence term appearing in the Lagrangian of the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity （TEGR）, we calculate the thermodynamic quantities of four tetrads＇ spacetime reproducing Lense-Thirring （LT） metric. We also investigate the first law of thermodynamics and the quantum statistical relation.

Modeling of highly efficient drug delivery system induced by self-assembly of nanocarriers: A density functional study

Owing to the importance of drug delivery in cancer or other diseases' therapy, the targeted drug delivery (TDD) system has been attracting enormous interest. Herein, we model the TDD system and design a novel rod-like nanocarrier by using the coarse grained model-based density functional theory, which combines a modified fundamental measure theory for the excluded-volume effects, Wertheim's first-order thermodynamics perturbation theory for the chain connectivity and the mean field approximation for van der Waals attraction. For comparison, the monomer nanocarrier TDD system and the no nanocarrier one are also investigated. The results indicate that the drug delivery capacity of rod-like nanocarriers is about 62 times that of the no nanocarrier one, and about 6 times that of the monomer nanocarriers. The reason is that the rod-like nanocarriers would self-assemble into the smectic phase perpendicular to the membrane surface. It is the self-assembly of the rod-like nanocarriers that yields the driving force for the targeted delivery of drugs inside the cell membrane. By contrast, the conventional monomer nanocarrier drug delivery system lacks the driving force to deliver the drugs into the cell membrane. In short, the novel rod-like nanocarrier TDD system may improve the drug delivery efficiency. Although the model in this work is simple, it is expected that the system may provide a new perspective for cancer targeted therapy.

An Equation of State for Fluids by Applying the Tower-Well Potential Model

A simple theoretical equation of state is derived by applying the Tower-Well potential model about the molecular distribution based on the generalized van der Waals partition function. It needs only three molecular parameters which have distinct physical meanings. The resulting equation of state predicts rather well the Vapor pressures, saturate liquid volumes, saturated vapor volumes and PVT thermodynamic properties of polar and structurally complex molecules over a wide temperature and pressure range.
