Multiphase theory of Lennard-Jones nanofluids and the vaporization and condensation of nanodroplets

Abstract

Recently there has been growing interest in nanofluids and nanodroplet engineering and applications. In this paper we derive a theory of Lennard-Jones fluids in multiphase dynamics from the information theoretic approach in analogy to the fully quantum mechanical theory of phase transitions. We derive least biased distributions of the particles and some analytic solutions are obtained.
