The hydrogen bonding ability of both water and methanol, together with the occurrence of hydrophobic interactions, makes their solutions nonideal. This nonideality is reflected in both dynamic and thermodynamic quantities at different extent depending on temperature and concentration. The thermal behavior in terms of transport quantities is investigated for different methanol molar fractions by using the concepts of the Stokes-Einstein relation. Starting from the pure compounds, we compare self-diffusion and viscosity data as a function of the temperature for methanol molar fractions X = 0.22, 0.5, and 0.7. The results are interpreted within the scenario of the mode coupling theory and show that the Stokes-Einstein relation is violated in a different way depending on the solution concentration.

Molten salts are important in a number of energy applications, but the fundamental mechanisms operating in ionic liquids are poorly understood, particularly at higher temperatures. This is despite their candidacy for deployment in solar cells, next-generation nuclear reactors, and nuclear pyroprocessing. We perform extensive molecular dynamics simulations over a variety of molten chloride salt compositions at varying temperature and pressures to calculate the thermodynamic and transport properties of these liquids.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss to which extent a microscopic version of the Stokes-Einstein (SE) relation without the hydrodynamic radius applies to liquid water. We demonstrate that the self-diffusion and shear viscosity data for five popular water models, recently reported by Ando [J. Chem.

We are used to measuring temperature with a thermometer, and we know from everyday life that different types of thermometers measure the same temperature. This experience can be based on equilibrium thermodynamics, which explains the equivalence of different possibilities to define temperature. In contrast, for systems out of equilibrium such as active matter, measurements performed with different thermometers can generally lead to different temperature values.

Plasma viscosity measurement is crucial in clinical diagnostics, providing insights into blood rheology and health status. Traditional methods, such as capillary and rotational viscometers, require large sample volumes and complex calibration. This study presents a novel disposable electrochemical sensor with co-facing electrodes for viscosity monitoring of plasma samples.

The fundamental Debye-Stokes-Einstein (DSE) relation between rotational relaxation times and shear viscosity attracts longstanding research interest as one of the most important characteristics of many glass-forming liquids. Here, we provide strong evidence, missing so far, for the relevance of anisotropy for DSE-related behavior. Dielectric spectroscopy and shear viscosity measurements were employed to get insight into the decoupling between reorientation relaxation times and viscosity for anisotropic glass-formers with dipole moments oriented parallel or perpendicular to the long molecular axis.
