DESCRIPTION

Confined mass transfer mainly focuses on the dynamic behavior of water, ion, gas and other media confined in nanochannels. Scientists recently show increasing interest in confined mass transfer due to its wide application in energy, environment, health and other fields. However, the interface effect is dominant at the nanoscale, and the confined liquid has different structure and transport characteristics from the macro scale. As a result, the traditional continuum mechanics model is no longer applicable, while there is still not a global theoretical model at nanoscale.
