In this paper we present results of the Monte Carlo simulation of a 2D nematic liquid crystal model in the presence of an externally applied electric field. The molecular interactions were described by the Lebwohl -Lasher Hamiltonian. The boundary conditions employed in the simulations corresponded

## Abstract Observations of the influence of a simultaneous action of different surface topographies and polar or nonpolar additives in small concentration on the alignment properties of liquid crystal molecules are reported. The additive dependence of the threshold behaviour of planar aligned liqu
Critical heat flux in a two-phase thermosyphon is usually dealt with in one of two different ways: one uses the maximum falling liquid rate obtained from the envelope method, the other uses the instability. We first clarify the difference between the maximum and the instability criteria. The CHF in
