With their large internal surface area and severely confining porosity, nanoporous materials are at the forefront in the mitigation strategy to the environmental and energy crisis with key applications in adsorption, catalysis, insulation, etc. Yet, despite intense research on the behavior of nanoconfined fluids, heat generation, transfer, and dispersion involved in adsorption-based proce…
The purpose of this SPRINT proposal is to establish a research collaboration between the groups from Dr. Carlos Avendano from The University of Manchester, UK, and from Dr. Luís Fernando Mercier Franco from the University of Campinas, Brazil. Both groups are devoted to molecular simulations and multi-scale modeling applied to chemical engineering problems, with potentially large synergist…
The confinement effect, once neglected in traditional engineering calculations, has gained more and more relevance in the modeling of systems such as petroleum reservoirs, biological cells, electrodes of lithium-air batteries, nanofluidics, among several other applications. The space-time scale in which these confinement phenomena occur challenges an experimental approach to the problem. …
Equations of state are essential for obtaining thermodynamic properties. Among the mostrecent equations of state is Statistical Associating Fluid Theory (SAFT), which is derived from Statistical Mechanics. SAFT has a high predictive capacity and has been used in various molecular systems, including polymers and highly polar substances under high pressure. Recently, a new SAFT-type equatio…
The modeling of porous media flow has various applications in the industrial context. Particularly to adsorption processes, the understanding of the flow and the energy transfer within porous media becomes essential.

The growing use of advanced materials, particularly nanoporous materials, for different technological and environmental applications implies the necessity of understanding their thermodynamic properties at different scales. A significant challenge in the thermodynamic modeling of these materials entails the incorporation of phenomena described by effects at the molecular level, but with p…
Equations of state are extremely relevant to chemical engineering for the calculation of mixtures properties, particularly in the separation process design. Molecular-based, equations of state entail a class of models of powerful predictive capacity considering the molecular interactions explicitly. Among the existent ones, SAFT (Statistical Associating Fluid Theory) has been attracting t…
The present study aims at simulating laminar fluid flows using Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM), particularly to understand the interaction mechanisms among the reactants within micropores in ethanol fuel cell membranes. This emergent technology has a great potential in the Brazilian energy scenario, since a complete infrastructure already is present in the country for this fuel. Moreover, …
