Nanoconfinement can drastically change the behavior of liquids, puzzling us with counterintuitive properties. It is relevant in applications, including decontamination and …
Some geothermal formations may contain a large concentration of CO2 and a very high vertical temperature gradient. It is likely that there may be significant variation in the CO2 …
In this work we propose a methodology, based on molecular dynamics simulations, to quantify the influence of segregation and thermodiffusion on the initial state distribution of …
Compositional grading within a mixture has a strong impact on the evaluation of the pre- exploitation distribution of hydrocarbons in underground layers and sediments …
The components of a fluid mixture may segregate due to the Soret effect, a coupling phenomenon in which mass flux can be induced by a thermal gradient. In this work, we …
The boundary-driven molecular modeling strategy to evaluate mass transport coefficients of fluids in nanoconfined media is revisited and expanded to multicomponent mixtures. The …
