Nanoconfinement effects lead to the anomalous phase behavior of hydrocarbons in
nanopores. Besides the capillary pressure, the critical properties' shift and curvature …

Under electric fields, coalescence of water droplets in oil media and bulk water (droplet-
interface coalescence) is a significant phenomenon during the electrostatic process of water …

When the electric field strength (E) surpasses a certain threshold, secondary droplets are
generated during the coalescence between water droplets in oil and the oil–water interface …

The presence of surfactants in water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions can increase the susceptibility of
water droplets to breakup under an electric field, resulting in intensified emulsification. To …

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 …

Nanopores can change the phase boundary of fluid mixtures. A recent study has reported
that the bubble-point pressure of binary mixtures in nanopores can be merged with the dew …

Dynamic behavior of miscible CO 2-oil mixtures is the heart of CO 2 enhanced oil recovery
(EOR) and CO 2 storage in shale reservoirs. However, the omnipresent nanopores not only …

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 …

Harnessing the subsurface geologic environments in an efficient and environmentally
sustainable manner is challenged by uncertainties associated with predicting the fate of …

Tight and shale gas reservoirs contain a wide range of pore sizes on the order of
nanometers, which create notable fluid–fluid and fluid–wall interactions inside the …
