Solar energy-to-heat conversion for steam generation is an essential metrology for power
generation, water purification and desalination. Harvesting light energy and converting it to …

Spatial confinement in nanoporous media affects the structure, thermodynamics and mobility
of molecular soft matter often markedly. This article reviews thermodynamic equilibrium …

Capillary condensation of water is ubiquitous in nature and technology. It routinely occurs in
granular and porous media, can strongly alter such properties as adhesion, lubrication …

We present molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of water-filled silica nanopores such as
those that occur in ordered oxide ceramics (MCM-41, SBA-15), controlled pore glasses …

自发渗吸是发生在多孔介质里的一种常见自然现象, 存在于众多工程应用和自然科学领域,
多孔介质中自发渗吸的基本静力学和动力学问题已成为当前国际研究的热点课题之一 …

In this study, the rate of change of microstructural re-organization in hardened cement paste
under the first drying, which is caused by the colloidal nature of calcium-silicate-hydrate …

A relative permeability model for gas-water two phase flow in water-wet nanoporous media
is proposed based on the continuity equation with modified non-slip boundary in a single …

The dynamics of capillary-driven flow was studied for water and water–glycerol mixtures in
open hydrophilic microchannels (embedded in a hydrophobic matrix). The position of the …

This paper aims at characterizing the inorganic and organic pore size distribution (PSD
inorg and PSD org) of gas shale samples. To achieve this goal, we first perform nitrogen (N …

This paper reports on a molecular simulation study of the thermodynamics, structure and
dynamics of water confined at ambient temperature in hydroxylated silica nanopores of a …
