Abstract

In this PhD project, the following equilibrium properties of confined mixtures will be studied: density profiles, pressure tensor components, surface tension, and contact angle. As confining media, crystalline materials, such as calcite, dolomite, kaolinite, and quartz, commonly found in oil reservoirs were selected. The fluid mixtures that will be investigated involve water, electrolytes, carbon dioxide, and hydrocarbons. A careful analysis of how fluid molecules approach the solid interface will be carried out.
