Surface analyses inside the nanopore, micropore, and a very narrow pipe are important topics for development of the chemical engineering. Here, we propose a measuring method which evaluates the surface coverage of the chemically modified pore surface and the corrosion rate of the inner surface of the narrow pipe, etc. The method uses Kelvins equation that expresses saturated vapor pressure of a liquid in the pore (pipe). The surface coverage and the corrosion rate are calculated by measuring saturated vapor pressure of the liquid in the pore and the pipe, respectively. In this letter, we explain the concept of the method briefly.

Porous electrodes are found in energy storage devices such as supercapacitors and pseudo-capacitors. However, the effect of electrode-pore-size distribution over their energy storage properties remains unclear. Here, we develop a model for the chargi
ng of electrical double layers inside a cylindrical pore for arbitrary pore size. We assume small applied potentials and perform a regular perturbation analysis to predict the evolution of electrical potential and ion concentrations in both the radial and axial directions. We validate our perturbation model with direct numerical simulations of the Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations, and obtain quantitative agreement between the two approaches for small and moderate potentials. Our analysis yields two main characteristic features of arbitrary pore size: i) a monotonic decrease of the charging timescale with an increase in relative pore size (pore size relative to Debye length); ii) a region of large potential gradients at the mouth of the pore due to charge conservation. We develop a modified transmission circuit model that captures the effect of arbitrary pore sizes and demonstrate that a time-dependent interfacial capacitance needs to be included in the circuit. We also derive expressions for effective capacitance and charging timescale as a function of pore-size distribution, and show that the capacitance and charging timescale increase for narrower and less polydisperse distributions, resulting in a gain of energy density at a constant power density. Overall, our results advance the fundamental understanding of electrical-double-layer charging and will be useful for the electrode design of energy storage devices.
We present a brief overview of integrability of nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations with a focus on the Painleve property: an ODE of second order has the Painleve property if the only movable singularities connected to this equation
are single poles. The importance of this property can be seen from the Ablowitz-Ramani-Segur conhecture that states that a nonlinear PDE is solvable by inverse scattering transformation only if each nonlinear ODE obtained by exact reduction of this PDE has the Painleve property. The Painleve property motivated motivated much research on obtaining exact solutions on nonlinear PDEs and leaded in particular to the method of simplest equation. A version of this method called modified method of simplest equation is discussed below.
A level-set method is developed for numerically capturing the equilibrium solute-solvent interface that is defined by the recently proposed variational implicit solvent model (Dzubiella, Swanson, and McCammon, Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf 104}, 527 (2006) an
d J. Chem.Phys. {bf 124}, 084905 (2006)). In the level-set method, a possible solute-solvent interface is represented by the zero level-set (i.e., the zero level surface) of a level-set function and is eventually evolved into the equilibrium solute-solvent interface. The evolution law is determined by minimization of a solvation free energy {it functional} that couples both the interfacial energy and the van der Waals type solute-solvent interaction energy. The surface evolution is thus an energy minimizing process, and the equilibrium solute-solvent interface is an output of this process. The method is implemented and applied to the solvation of nonpolar molecules such as two xenon atoms, two parallel paraffin plates, helical alkane chains, and a single fullerene $C_{60}$. The level-set solutions show good agreement for the solvation energies when compared to available molecular dynamics simulations. In particular, the method captures solvent dewetting (nanobubble formation) and quantitatively describes the interaction in the strongly hydrophobic plate system.
We study systems with finite number of states $A_i$ ($i=1,..., n$), which obey the first order kinetics (master equation) without detailed balance. For any nonzero complex eigenvalue $lambda$ we prove the inequality $frac{|Im lambda |}{|Re lambda |}
leq cotfrac{pi}{n}$. This bound is sharp and it becomes an equality for an eigenvalue of a simple irreversible cycle $A_1 to A_2 to... to A_n to A_1$ with equal rate constants of all transitions. Therefore, the simple cycle with the equal rate constants has the slowest decay of the oscillations among all first order kinetic systems with the same number of states.
We propose a transform method from a force curve obtained by a surface force apparatus (SFA) to a density distribution of a liquid on a surface of the SFA probe. (We emphasize that the transform method is a theory for the experiment.) In the method,
two-body potential between the SFA probe and the solvent sphere is modeled as the soft attractive potential with rigid wall. The model potential is more realistic compared with the rigid potential applied in our earlier work. The introduction of the model potential is the improved point of the present transform method. The transform method is derived based on the statistical mechanics of a simple liquid where the simple liquid is an ensemble of small spheres. To derive the transform method, Kirkwood superposition approximation is used. It is found that the transformation can be done by a sequential computation. It is considered that the solvation structure can be obtained more precisely by using the improved transform method.
