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 …

Steam condensation is omnipresent, and inevitable in many industrial processes. A classic
example is seen within condensers that are used to liquify various gasses. In consequence …

Nanofluidics research has achieved a significant growth over the past few years. New
phenomena of nanoscaled fluid flows are being reported continuously, such as altered …

Shale is featured by nanometer pores and ultralow permeability. Enhancing shale oil
recovery after primary production is challenging as a result of the low injectivity of water …

This study investigates experimentally the impact of droplets on the performance of solar
photovoltaic (PV) cells due to dropwise condensation or rain falling on their cover. Dew …

To investigate the kinetic process from adsorption to capillary condensation within
nanostructures, a serious of atomic-scale simulation is devoted to this work. The atomic …

Thanks to the application of CO 2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technology in shale oil
production, phase behavior of CO 2 and alkanes in nanopores has received considerable …

Phase behavior of confined fluid demonstrates significant deviation from that of bulk fluid
because of the strong molecule-wall interaction and geometric constraint in confined space …

Adsorption is an effective and environment-friendly method to control the pollution of volatile
and semi-volatile heavy metals (HMs) produced during municipal sludge incineration. In this …

Nanopore/subnanopore networks comprising tight reservoirs exhibit special behaviors in the
storage and transport of capillary-confined fluids. We develop a hydro-mechanical-chemical …
