U.S.-China Coopertive Research: Theoretical Investigation of Fluid Nucleation

9603138曾本奖学金资助内布拉斯加大学肖曾与北京化工大学王汶川、顾光图在流体成核方面的三年合作项目。该项目涉及来自内布拉斯加州的两名研究生的参与，他们将访问中国参与研究的计算部分。本项目拟推进CTS 9413301资助的工作，发展基于统计力学的成核理论，该理论将与以前其他成核理论无法解释的实验事实相一致。本项目拟发展的成核理论与有害气溶胶、光化学烟雾、酸雨和其他环境科学领域的形成有关。拟议的合作包括内布拉斯加州项目的理论方面的工作，以及北京研究的计算部分的工作。该项目由中国国家自然科学基金资助。

9603138 Zeng This award supports a three year cooperative program on fluid nucleation between Xiao Zeng, University of Nebraska, and Wang Wenchuan and Gu Guangtu, Beijing University of Chemical Technology. The project involves participation of two graduate students from Nebraska, who will visit China to participate in the computation component of the research. This project proposes to advance work funded under CTS 9413301 to develop a nucleation theory based on statistical mechanics which would agree with the experimental facts previously unexplained by other nucleation theories. The nucleation theory to be developed in this project has relevance to the formation of hazardous aerosols, photochemical smog, acid rain and in other areas of environmental science. The proposed collaboration involves work on the theoretical aspects of the program at Nebraska, and work on the computation component of the research in Beijing. The project will be supported on the Chinese side by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
