Gas diffusion in nanoporous carbon includes distinct diffusion modes: surface diffusion on the pore walls and non-surface diffusion away from pore walls. We have performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of Ar diffusion in disordered nanoporous carbon. The main objective of this work is to separate the surface diffusion and non-surface diffusion contributions so as to comprehend their respe...

In this paper, the effect of surface area of reaction layers in gas diffusion electrodes on oxygen reduction reaction was investigated. For this purpose, various amounts (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and zero %wt of total loading of reaction layer) of single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) were inserted in the reaction layer. The performance of gas diffusion electrodes for oxygen reduction re...

Diffusion of organic vapours to the surface of aerosol or cloud particles is an important step for the formation and transformation of atmospheric particles. So far, however, a database of gas phase diffusion coefficients for organic compounds of atmospheric interest has not been available. In this work we have compiled and evaluated gas phase diffusivities (pressure-independent diffusion coeff...

Diffusion in fractured reservoirs, unlike in unfractured reservoirs, can affect significantly the efficiency of gas injection in oil reservoirs and recycling in gas/condensate reservoirs. The physical diffusion, similar to gravity, results in the change of the path of the injected gas species from the fractures to the matrix, giving rise to late breakthrough. In this work, we present, for the f...

Accurate knowledge of molecular diffusion coeffi· cients and their temperature dependence is important in obtaining fundamental information on forces be· tween unlike molecules. Until recently most diffusion measurements were conducted over short temperature intervals because the conventional methods such as the Loschmidt or the Stefan, require the thermostating of large, static systems. Walker...

As kerogen is the main organic component in shale, the adsorption capacity, diffusion and permeability of the gas in kerogen plays an important role in shale gas production. Based on the molecular model of type II kerogen, an organic nanoporous structure was established. The Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) and Molecular Dynamics (MD) methods were used to study the adsorption and diffusion ca...
