In the present paper we present an experimental analysis and a thermal and hydrodynamic modelling of a newly designed flat-plate solar collector characterized by its corrugated channel and by the high surface area directly in contact with the heat transport fluid. The thermal and hydrodynamic...

Microcanonical equations for some of the most usual thermodynamic properties of a system, suitable for molecular dynamics simulations, are derived from the Tsallis entropy functional using both the usual definition of temperature as a derivative of entropy and a modified physical one introduced...

The Helmholtz free energy of ionic solutions is calculated in the dressed-ion theory (DIT) using a Gibbs–Helmholtz relation. The obtained expression naturally takes into account the occurrence of a process of renormalization of charges and screening length in the bulk which is described by...

The non-Debye decay length of ionic solutions (κ) is analyzed combining the dressed ion theory route with a new version of the modified mean spherical approximation (MMSA) [Varela et al., J. Chem. Phys. 109, 1930 (1998)]. Seeking formal consistency, the MMSA short-range direct correlation...
