Monte Carlo Simulation of Argon in Nano-Space

Monte Carlo simulations are performed to investigate the thermodynamic properties of argon confined in nano-scale cubes constructed of graphite walls. A remarkable depression of the system pressures is observed. The simulations reveal that the length-scale of the cube, the magnitude of the interaction between the fluid and the graphite wall and the density of the Auid exhibit reasonable effects on the thermodynamic property shifts of the fluid.
