When a solid surface accommodates guest molecules, they induce noticeable stresses to
the surface and cause its strain. Nanoporous materials have high surface area and …

Fluids confined in nanopores are ubiquitous in nature and technology. In recent years, the
interest in confined fluids has grown, driven by research on unconventional hydrocarbon …

Thermodynamic properties of fluids confined in nanopores differ from those observed in the
bulk. To investigate the effect of nanoconfinement on water compressibility, we perform …

Recent progress in extraction of unconventional hydrocarbon resources has ignited the
interest in the studies of nanoporous media. Since many thermodynamic and mechanical …

Fluids confined in nanopores exhibit properties different from the properties of the same
fluids in bulk; among these properties is the isothermal compressibility or elastic modulus …

The present work examines numerically the breakup of water droplets exposed to gas flows
at Mach numbers Ma> 1, which resemble the ambient conditions encountered in the …

Unmineable coalbeds are a promising source of natural gas and can act as a receptacle for
CO2 sequestration. This is because they are composed of extensive nanoporous systems …

Through analysis of the statistical mechanical equations for a thin adsorbed film (gas, liquid,
or solid) on a solid substrate or confined within a pore, it is possible to express the …

Nitrogen adsorption is one of the main characterization techniques for nanoporous
materials. The experimental adsorption isotherm provides information about the surface …

Following the compressibility route in statistical mechanics, the local isothermal modulus is
derived for nanoconfined fluids. Based on this inhomogeneous modulus, an acoustic …
