TL;DR: Numerical results that include non-electrostatic ion-specific forces acting that are ignored in classical electrolyte and double layer theory are given here for model calculations of the force between two model charge-regulated hen-egg-white protein surfaces.

TL;DR: In this article, the Monte Carlo method is used for simulating granular systems of spherocylindrical particles and porosities, calculated for simulated monodispersed beds, are presented as functions of particle elongation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider how thermodynamics is and has been used to provide phase equilibria as required for design of standard chemical engineering processes with emphasis on distillation and other conventional separation operations.

TL;DR: In this article, Monte Carlo simulations are used to determine how salt identity affects the PMF between colloidal particles or globular proteins in a saline solution, a phenomenon observed experimentally by Hofmeister for aqueous proteins more than 100 years ago.

TL;DR: In this article, a cubic equation of state (the van der Waals equation) was extended to describe the behavior of pure fluids and mixtures confined in porous solids, and the effect of pore size on fluid properties was explicitly represented in the model, allowing its application to both confined and bulk fluids thus providing a consistent description of adsorption systems for all pore sizes.
