Comparative Surface Thermodynamic Analysis of New Fluid Phase Formation in Various Confining Geometries
DownloadSpring 2012
For a pure bulk (unconfined) fluid, phase transition happens at the saturation pressure. In contrast, for a fluid inside a confinement of small size (commonly below micrometers), vapour and liquid coexistence may happen at pressures other than the saturation pressure; or an expected phase...

Phase Behavior, Adsorption Behavior and Interfacial Properties of Fluids in Shale Reservoirs
DownloadFall 2018
Shale oil/gas resources are becoming an increasingly important energy resource. Compared to conventional reservoirs, shale generally consists of a large proportion of organic matters. Organic matter is mainly comprised of kerogen, within which a significant amount of nanopores may reside. Due to...
