The flow of fluids in nano-confinement has applications in separations, water purification,
medical systems and in the recovery of fluids in petroleum systems. It is believed that fluids …

Advancing a portfolio of technologies that range from the storage of excess renewable
natural gas for distributed use to the capture and storage of CO2 in geological formation are …

Due to its many industrial applications, the physics associated with the nanoconfinement of
fluids has garnered great attention from the scientific community in roughly the last fifteen …

Sintered agglomerate of synthetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) is an architected
geomaterial that provides confinement-mediated flow and transport properties of fluids …

Existing theories can predict separately the effects of hydrodynamic slip and ion–ion
electrostatic correlations on diffusioosmosis. However, a predictive model for the coupled …

Slip flow, a fluid flow enhanced in comparison to that calculated using continuum equations,
has been reported for many nanopores, mostly those with hydrophobic surfaces. We …

Most reported slip length measurements have been made at the surfaces of synthetic
materials and modified synthetic materials. In contrast, few slip length measurements at the …

In our previous study, Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulated water flow with no dissolved gas
in nanometer slit pores of the hydrophobic talc surfaces revealed a slip length of about 0.5 …

The application of an environmentally friendly modifier-superhydrophobic nano-silicon
dioxide (SiO2) on improving the geotechnical characteristics of expansive soil is explored to …

The properties of liquids in nanoconfined spaces are reliably differentiated from the
corresponding properties of liquids in bulk phases. The purpose of this dissertation is to …
