Nonlinear Entropy–Enthalpy Correlation forMethane Adsorption on Shale

Abstract The enthalpy–entropy compensation effect is widely recognized in shale gas adsorption studies, where the standard adsorption entropy change is typically reported to vary linearly with the standard adsorption enthalpy change. However, this study reveals that such linear a...

Phase Behavior and Critical Properties of Hydrocarbons in Shale Illite Nanopores

Clay minerals are significant constituents of shale reservoirs, yet the confinement-induced phase behavior of hydrocarbons within clay nanopores has received comparatively less attention than in carbonaceous materials. In this study, Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations...
